Lets see it at Carlisle!
Maybe in 2026! I have owned the car since 1981.
The transmission should be here in a month. It going to have FiTech dual quad fuel injection.

Mighty tasty motor right there.
I assume the 70 is an original hemi car?

It's a 440 car. I bought Schumacher Hemi mounts and it dropped right in!

I have two Hemi engines. That one is going in the Charger and the other one is slated for this car. It is a 71 340 Cuda.
All I'm getting is a lump of coal....
For the last six years,I got a rock! Not this year!

Cool 472" Hemi build, congrats on getting a 'machine shop parole' 
EFI dual 4s is a great idea too, should be a great build/project
not sure what I get for Christmas yet
I did buy myself a bunch of new clothes,
Ariat Rebar 4 pocketed heavy long sleeve Tee-shits
some new Ariat riders boots, in square toe, 13 EE comfy boots
a couple 4 different shoe insoles/arch supports, for my other shoes
new pair of slip on Gray 'Tweed looking' house shoes, gifted by Ariat
on the Black Friday/Cyber Monday sales 40%-50% sales
a few pairs of new pants, Dickies' (Canvas) Carpenters work pants, nice & warm
2 pairs of denim flex fit/boot cut Carhart jeans,
all from Bass-Pro, Black Friday sales, big discounts 40%
a few 10rd stainless magazines for my Kimber
from Midway USA, Cyber Monday sale
I'll be styling & profiling
I also bought a new broom & mop for the kitchen
new Gemstone Emerald (Green) set of nonstick pans & bake wear
needed, some new stuff, got them Black Friday sale after Thanksgiving
among all the litany of stuff, I bought for everyone else,
but no car stuff this time, "YET"
Had a ton of stuff in my online cart at Summit Racing, almost $5k
5) 15"x8s Ultra 5 spoke, 6 on 4.5" w/machine Alum finish/cleared wheels
5) 33"x10x15 Generals X3 tires/red letter
& Covercraft dash pad, all for my Dakota
Then a new OEM 24'' rise lowrider floor jack & spreader bar,
so I can get the car or especially the truck 24" plus, off the ground
without goofy blocks
& a new AirCat 1/2" impact, old one took a sh-t
& a Campbel Hausfeld, 2 stage/oiled 110/220vlt, upright tank 30 gal compressor
not much room for a bigger one & my almost 40 year old one is dying
It's time...
Also a bunch of brake parts, SSBC rear discs & new manual MC & dist./prop. valve,
assoc. E-brake cables, for my car
but;
I never did click the order button & order all of it,
sort of waiting till after the holidays, now
I've been spending like a drunken sailor, on leave, after a year at sea...
