ghost,

I just saw your post.

I just posted on Comment #54.

I wrote about my 30 second joyride in a 426 Hemi Charger in the late 60’s.

I hope that wasn't YOUR car I was parking!

A while back I saw a TV show called "American Muscle" or something like it, they were having restoration specialists rebuild 60's era muscle engines to original specs and testing them on dyno.

A couple fell short of advertised HP, most hit it, and several were over, a few by a LOT!

One version of Chevy 427 was over 500, a version of 454 was over 600, along with a 427 Ford, but the Hemi demonstrated why it was the king......820.

It is good to be the King.

I have searched and searched for that program/series, but cannot find it.
