Yep, the prototype ball stud (non rocker shaft) hemi. This post 71 design was cheaper to manufacture and was going to be our future but Chrysler pulled the plug on it.

Yeah, the thought of pulling those out of Volares and Cordobas at Pick N Pull is a pretty nice thought. I still think they are stretching the HEMI part a little, but who cares. Those heads look like they would work pretty well. Reminds me of the 351C and 429.
