“...God gave it to us to fuel our Hemis. Yes, god is a Chrysler man....”
Love it! I remember a few years back, I had just gotten one of my 440 blocks back from the machine shop and was fitting in the crank, rods and pistons. My dad stopped by the shop to see what I was up to. He looked at the cylinders in that block and wanted to know why I was working on such a big diesel engine?...LOL.
I told him it was a Chrysler 440 bored .030” over and it was gas engine going into a ‘72 Dart Swinger. He was amazed. He said; “Son, it’s gonna cost you over $5 in gas just to crank that thing up.....no wonder we’re running out of oil.” And he walked back out. For awhile there, he was pretty much correct in half of his prediction: it’s one expensive puppy to run even to this day.
And the gas is probably only half of it, the other being back tires . . .
