There was a dodge polara dissolving in the front yard of a house in Porirua a few years back and I think it had a 426 in it, I heard the owner was doing a long stretch inside and his wife wouldnt sell so it just sat and rusted away .It would have been an awesome ride in its day. I remember seeing an E49 in lower hutt years ago that had twin gas filler caps on it that would be worth an absolute fortune these days too.

for a small block mopar engine...a 383 would be my choice,most mopar engines are over engineered to the point they can take a massive boring and also handle stroking well.

A good example of this is the 265 hemi from chrysler US,theres one in OZ that makes over 1000hp and runs a 7sec pass...all from a 40yr old 6cyl that was made for trucks in the US,then passed out od production cause they thought it was sub par..... search youtube for "justa6"

Thats the reason they were banned from stock cars awhile back,they just pissed over every other engine,and can rev all day long........another reason they were used in jet boats also.

Ok enough of trying to convert you all to be mopar nuts.

 

Thouhgts on 400 Chevy small blocks just to throw it out there ??
