LITTLE DID CHRYSLER KNOW WHEN THEY HELD PRODUCTION PLANNING MEETINGS IN LATE 1964 THAT THE RESULT WOULD INITIATE THE MOST DESIRABLE HIGH PERFORMANCE ENGINE EVER BOLTED INTO A PASSENGER CAR. BY DETUNING THE RACE HEMI AND ADAPTING IT TO STREET USE IN SELECTED CAR MODELS FROM 1966-1971, A LEGEND WAS BORN. TOTAL PRODUCTION RUN FROM '66-'71 FOR THESE ELEPHANT MOTORS WAS ONLY ABOUT 12,000. THANKFULLY, ALL 12,000 WERE 425 HP RATED. CHRYSLER EMPLOYEE TED FLACK RECALLS FROM HIS DAYS IN THE DYNO LAB THAT EVERY HEMI THEY TESTED "MADE 425 HORSEPOWER LIKE CLOCKWORK". ALSO ADDING TO THE POWER MYTH WAS THE FACT THAT CHRYSLER NEVER WATERED DOWN THE 426 IN THE EARLY '70'S POLLUTION DAYS-THEY JUST STOPPED MAKING IT! NEEDLESS TO SAY, IN THE CURRENT COLLECTOR MARKET, SOME OF THE MOST EXPENSIVE INVESTMENTS OUT THERE ARE HEMI MOPARS.

DRIVETRAIN- Documenting an original engine on a mid '68 and earlier Hemi car is difficult because no vin numbers were stamped on the block. I can say at the very least that this is a correct, date coded rebuilt engine for this vehicle. Correct 2468330-2 block. Correct dual Carter AFB carburetors. Correct intake and heads. The original mechanical valve train has been replaced with a Mopar Performance 0 lash Hydraulic Cam and Anti Pump Lifters. Spark originates in a real Race Hemi distributor. You can swap out for a street distributor if you wish, however the Race distributor is worth about 6 times the value of a street distributor. Recent maintenance items iclude but not limited to: fresh tune up, new alternator and regulator, new water pump. (Note-The water pump is a correct high volume pump, but not the original- the original also goes with the car, but needs to be refurbished) The engine currently is adorned with a nice set of chrome valve covers- however, the original Black Matte valve covers go with the car. New Centerforce HD clutch. Correct A833 18 spline Heavy Duty Four Speed transmission. The trans is a correct 1968 model, but not the original. Heavy duty 9.75" Dana 60 3.54 Sure Grip differential. New stock configuration exhaust system with new Rhino Mufflers for a little more aggressive sound. (Note- The exhaust pipes are correct factory specs, so stock Mopar mufflers could be reinstalled- also, one of the original stock mufflers goes with the car.) Mopar Performance Heavy Duty Battery. Heavy duty 26" radiator.
