In this article dave f says "...photographic archives can prove, the Race Hemi drag cars were also ready for action by the end of February 1964". Above, first hemi production was may 19. Does anyone else think these first race hemi's were retrofitted mw sIII's? If not what were they and is there any ibm cards to support their existance? If I'm missing something, please step in.

Pulisher was Jamie Publications.They also put out Speed Mechanics and Custom Craft.There are some good pics and articles in these old mags it's too bad they were not printed on better quality paper.

This has already been discussed, the first four Hemi cars were the 2% Sedans that started off as MW cars.

Here is a bit more from the 2005 Hot Rod Mag "Where it all Began" issue titled the 1st on page 25.Quote: "HRH's Ray Brock handed in the film in what appears to be a Ramchargers Dodge on Feb 10,1964". The 2% car? The picture clearly shows a Maxi car brake line and cable entry for the ign box on the pass side.It does not look to have a modified shock tower with the edge cut off,however the angle of the photo may be in play as far as that goes.Car appears to have a fender tag also.Carter carbs are present.Another pic on the page show a Nascar engine with a casting date of Feb 3 1964.In the mags first Hemi article April 64 it shows a block cast Dec 30,1963
