That puppy would flat run . . . blow the doors off almost anything.

Except my Dad's 57 Dodge D500 with the 354 V8. In jet black it looked like the Batmobile.

Well, yeah, but try that with a 289.

It was a great little engine and it was possible to work on it yourself.

My dad and his mechanic conspired to do all sorts of bizarre things to it though. They put a Maserati fuel injection system on it - ran great but if you popped the hood you weren't QUITE sure what you were looking at . . .
