Not that i'm being picky but his description says "no reserve on this piece" yet when you look at the price it states "reserve not met"...

Very cool piece of GM history! And I love the Chrylser guys crying about it not being a real hemi.

Wow....talk about Chevrolet candy! . Those Chrysler guys....if they had any idea what they were looking at...."O" castings and everything! . Is this from Smokey's garage sale a few years back? . What a piece to replace that lost original motor! ~ Pete

This 68 Z has the same engine.

How well do these engines run? anybody ever get up close and personal with one? Might be a cool engine for my resto day 2 project.

Ask Charley, he used to have one and I don't think it was the easiest machine to keep tuned. That motor is meant to be run over 3000 rmp's all the time so sitting in traffic wouldn't be much fun.

If I remember right, these motors were set up with 13 to 1 compression or more.
