Re: 392 hemi

[Jimmy Peavy <peaver63@xxxxxxxxx>]

That motor is about the heaviest of all motors at around 750 lbs.
Parts are very expensive, and adapters for the transmission are too.
I think you are better off using a stroked small block, or a stock
383-440  block.
It can be done, but why?
At $11,000, you can drop in a Generation II Hemi motor, with less problems.
And still look "cool".
