I had an old hemi for a while that I traded, cant remember what it was, it was an old one (352??) not a 426.
Unfortunately I was the last owner of most of those cars.....  |
I had a a-body cuda with a solid mounted 12.5-1 440 with steel heads that flowed like a Indy head. Then I put that motor in a e-body cuda and lost a 5 tenths from the weight, but man an e-body cuda is the prettiest musclecar ever made to me. I had a 67 fury that I put a hp 340 in as a driver.
Those thermoquads can flow, too bad they were bakolite. I had a Keith Black flowed thermoquad that used to flow about 900-1000cfm. Being a spreadbore with tiny primary's they were miserly if you could stay out of the secondaries. I hated having to pay attention like a hawk to when it coughed or backfired or you'd be putting an intake on along with a carb from all the melted goo.
