Actually THIS is a piece of history. The pic above was modified (Why Aruzza would customize a piece of history like that is beyond me ) Change the internals, paint it up like a big block chevy, toss the original competition series thermoquad carb in favor of a Holley, toss the original air cleaner and other original external componants, I simply do not get it!

I could never understand why Dick basically down graded a hemi by taking out the rocker shafts whick in theory are more stable and put the crappy old ball stud chevy set up on the engine. And how did Dick manage to cast a complete set of totally different heads to bolt on the mopar RB block? Totally amazing what that man did. I have a few pictures of that thing when I was at the Walter P museum a few years back, I has a gold anodized plaque that states what it is on the valve cover.
Wierd lookin, but cool.

Dick Landy didn't cast the heads or design them for that matter. Chrysler did all that. Dick just did further R&D on it after Chrysler was done.

The actual prototypes were 400s, not 426s. Also, the block was specific to that engine because the bottom row of cylinder bolts were spaced further apart to make room for the exhaust ports. I've always wondered if it would have had the Hemi's clackety clack exhaust note or one of a lame Chevy.
OIF V and OEF X veteran and proud of it!

My biggest question is why the $#&$#*&* would they put a Fram filter on it?
I am not causing global warming, I am just trying to hold off a impending Ice Age!

Here's a couple of pics of it in Tom Hoover's notch back Cuda(also was a S & M car) which has since been sold.
I got the flame hood off the Cuda hanging on the shop wall.Very cool (Hoovers mover) is on the scoop.
