Production starts on Mopar 426 'Elephant' Hemi V8 crate motor

[cab2g]

Everytime I see 426 Hemi, I wish I had the money for a 1970 Cuda. I'd take almost any model though, that car is my all-time favorite! There actually are some surprisingly decently priced ones on eBay right now, too bad I don't have a bigger garage and wallet!

Think my wife would like to "upgrade" to one in a couple years? haha

Those cars are also awesome, but I really love the whole look of the Cuda.

I've always been torn between a 69 Camaro SS and 68 Charger R/T!

If they are tooled up to make an aluminum block, I don't understand why they just developed the new 6.4 motor and didn't step up to the aluminum block. Dropping ~100 lbs and 470 hp would have made a very nice srt8!

maybe they see it as a feature they can use to sell a future model. Why put all the cards on the table at once?
