    An equal opportunity offender, I like it! :Brow: I was thinking 426 hemi. If you thought a BB Vette was unbalanced as far as handling, could you imagine an elephant in the engine bay? :eek2:

    I dunno....

    With the '61 I pondered quite a bit about putting the injected 401 Nailhead into it. :TU:

    Not cutting anything of course.

    Actually I like it.
    It's ugly, gaudy, and bastardized.
    What else could a guy want?

    Looks like something Tony Montana Scarface" would drive.

    The sparkly, sunburst paint looks right at home on a bass boat.

    I didn't know that Evinrude made a hemi.

    I was at afriends house last wek and he was showing me his collection of cars and projects. One that really caught my eye was a 63 split window( origionally a factory 327 fuelie car) that had been set up as a drag car in the late 60's. tubbed, winters quick change rear , front end stretched about 2 feet , anglia straight front axle , 67 big bock hood grafted to the origional 63 hood and set up for........ a 482 inch nailhead with hilborn injection . Boy that is going to make the Vette purists absolutely crazy. :beer I love it . We discussed which style of portholes he should put on the front fenders just to twist the knife just a little :laugh:

    I thought it was just a Hemi in a Vatte...Now that I have clicked the link.

    Wow that is ugly. :Dou:

    Reminds us that at one time all these sought after vehicles were just old used cars.

    But then I would have to trade in the Dodge for a Maxi-Van with side pipes, turbo mags, porthole windows and a mural of R2D2 and Obi Wan Kenobi on the side...... :rolleyes:

    No thanks. :Dou:
