Probably true that the Hemi's were not intended for street and they didn't carry warranty BUT in early summer of '64 there was a street driven hemi at Widger/Goodwin Dodge in Bellflower, CA on the rack next to my '64 Dodge. That was the one with the starter blown up. If he was a big time racer I'm sure he'd be doing the starter himself. If you have enough money I'm sure you can accomplish many things deemed impossible.
