Re: 392 Hemi

[William Harrison <bbjt3@xxxxxxxxx>]

For that kind of money I would go for it.
Finding a 392 hemi with all most all of the parts for $1000 is rare.
If I were planning an engine swap and I had my druthers, I would swap a 392 hemi for a wedge block any day.
They just look so coooool sitting in a b body engine bay.
The make extreme torque and horse power to boot.
