learned something new today , thanks !

 

[RustyRatRod]

Sho nuff. Legit as can be. Worthless but legit. lol

 

[Meep-Meep]

Yep. I think they were called the Golden Lion 383 but could be wrong on the name. The RB 383 is real though.

Oh, and before you call BS on the MoPar 350, they made those too. It was among the first big blocks starting in 1958.

 

[RustyRatRod]

Exactly. That's the engine that was in Christine. The Golden Commando 350. One year only and 58 was it.

And I was watchin a car show on TV the other day......it was an all MoPar show. Then at the end they had a piece on the Christine Club. They guy had a real nice 58 all Christined up. Looked great. But the glaring mistake was that he said Christine was a 58 Fury......and he had a 58 Fury there. it was a beautiful car. But it was wrong. Christine was not a Fury. She was a Belvedere.

If I remember correctly wasn't the engine in the Chritine Car, it had an inline 2x4bbl wedge, did they ever make an inline 2x4bbl 350ci wedge ??

Not a 58 but it's a Belvy!
