Also, any competition history? Any famous names involved?

He is crazy builder. Did the same on his Harley two plugs per cylinder better than one. He was an old school bike racer.

. . . to the Dark Side! Aluminum 426 Hemi, dual plugs and distributors . . . somebody's going racing.

406 which will be should be good to 7500+ Rpm and som serious HP. Check out w is in Ted Toki ‘s mouth yup cigar he is the king of cool in engine building old school no fu... given. rpm on the street. ...  

. . . Dick Landy. My foggy memory says Landy was a Dodge sponsored racer back in the good ol' days. And while dual plug hemi heads were around then, they were strictly for drag racing. To get them working on a street motor takes some savvy. ...  

. . . the Redlight Bandit.

. . . but basically, he was drag racing's counterpart to Mark Donohue - a talented driver and an exceptional engineer and builder.

. . . preparation and engineering savvy. Notice the 'Allread HEMI' script on the scoop? That was Joe Allread, Bill's engine builder and one of the all-time great Mopar specialists. Art PS - can't find any video of Bill burning rubber. ...  

. . . with a degree in mechanical engineering. He competed nationally, though. The tragic event that induced his early retirement was a race at an AHRA meet in St Louis, 1974. The rear end of his Dodge Dart broke off and a loose axle flew into the stands,... 

. . . you don't remember him - his abruptly shortened career lasted only seven years. I think he won only a few major events, but he was admired as much for his immaculately prepared cars as he was for his racing skills.

. . . a '56-er. That applies to Fords, too. ;-) ...  

. . . The Winternationals? What year?

. . . and boy, was I ever off! First, he continued racing after the tragic incident in St Louis the following year, but for a year only. Second, he won a lot of races during his stint as a pro between '66 and '76, including the mythical Last Race at Lyons... 

. . . vs Don Carlton. What a jump he got . . .

That’s what i call these guys. A couple of months ago i was at the local Ferrari dealer and they showed me a 512 BB V12(180degrees) with 6 double carburettors (correct me if i’m wrong) waiting to be adjusted .... by a guy coming in from Holland ... probab... 

Performance cams typically have durations ranging from 220 up to 280 degrees or more. The longer the duration, the rougher the idle and the higher the cam’s power range on the rpm scale. A cam with a duration of 240 degrees of higher will typically produc...  

Or am i too optimistic ?

Just how hard she pulls on the road. These days you have guys claiming 700-1000 hp but when it is wheels on the ground they don't pull so hard. But yes your calculation is correct. HAGWE

.. and a well tuned engine is a big part of that, whether you have 150 or 1000 hp. I find dyno readings interesting to compare, not just peak power, but especially what’s happening at any revs. And i do believe those 700-1000 hp figures .... but when you ... 

. . . around E85? There's a few stations that carry the stuff around here, and they're popping up in OC, too. My hunch is it would run more effectively on E85 with the cam and compression you're running.

. . . and a few other adjustments, not to mention a non-reactive fuel tank, lines, and pump. But the other upside to 100+ octane E85 is that it runs about 15º F cooler than gas, so engines last longer, tolerances can be tighter, and you can even run moder... 

What’s this one going into ?

. . . I've gotta see. When it's completed, of course. Don't worry, I won't ask for a ride in it - I'd be scared witless!

all i can say is that is going to produce some serious power can't wait to see what you put that into

with that insane hemi and a charger ! are you going to run NA or are you going to add nitrous or some other power adder , not that you'll need it , you will probably be making over 800hp as it is

I'm sure people there will really like this setup , might even have some useful info for you board.moparts.org
