Building An Original 572 Super Street Hemi - Engine Power S1, E12

Get to know any Mopar guys in your area, get online and seek Mopar (and other) sites. Hit car shows and hob-knob with the muscle car guys, you might get a basket-engine lead. Someone will know of an eccentric loner top end muscle-car guy who keeps a stash of Hemi parts. You'll have to sift through his warped and cracked crankshafts, blocks with welded windows and missing main caps, and a partial set of rods with replacements that may need balancing. $$$$$.

On the wedge there's a Stage VI head which have a raised port and ypu can use those (expensive) heads on a low deck wedge and any RB intake fits.
