That thing got a Hemi???

[Bob Parmenter]

Well, a bunch of them did anyway!

This weekend here in Vegas is the "Mopars at the Strip" annual event. If you're into Mopars you owe it to yourself to get here for it next year, same time, same station.

Here's a few pics, mostly stuff that interests me, so enjoy if you wish.

The first pics are of some of the engines available, the first is a 605 cube, all aluminum engine with fuel injection from Indy Cylinder heads, $28k if you must know.

The second is Ma Mopar trying to make a connection with the past and the 392 Hemi of old. This new version Hemi is a 6.1 liter, which, tah dah!, equals 392 cubes (about). Note the high rise, single plenum, single 4 barrel. The big plastic covers hide the ugly coils.

The third is a 6.1 Hemi, taken out to 426 cubes, with Hilborn style electronic fuel injection. If you look at the tag it claims 625hp, and 640 torques!

Quite a few late '60's/early '70's Mopars are showing up with these newer engines, and there were several vendors there with swap kits for various body lines.
