Check for right and left. Years ago I pitched mine because I thought they were off of another vehicle because they fit so poorly. Lol, I found them in a box of parts in my shop awhile back (been there for 40 years) and noticed there is actually an L and an R marked on them. Mine had been...
At some point during the '68 prodction run, if not the full year, they started stamping the last half of the VIN on the pad on the transmission. Hamtramk cars for sure. I have an '68 18 spline trans with a Hamtramk VIN. The engine code does not show, so I am not sure if it is from 426 or 440 car...
Back when I bought my Charger R/T in '81 it had the taller bumper guards and they looked terrible. Not realizing there was a difference back then, I assumed someone had installed incorrect ones from another car. I sourced and installed a pair of short ones and moved on. Many years later I found...
My Charger is a radio delete car. The MSD 6AL (analog version) is mounted on a bracket behind the radio block off plate. I fabbed the bracket to bolt onto the factory radio mounts.
I'd rather listen to the engine music anyway.
There is a '69 for sale on Hemmings that sounds almost identical except red on red. The owner wants $150k for it. Wonder what that makes mine worth? It doesn't need restoration.
I have a '94 Ford F150 with the 300 cu. in. straight 6. It has a vacuum canister very similar to the Charger unit. Mounting bracket might be a bit different.
Interesting photos of that engine. Do you still have it? The 1964 cast dates correspond with any info I have been able to find regarding the Marine 426 Hemi engine, indicating they were offered in 1965 and never again, although it probably took a few years for them to be used up. Chrysler's test...
I never knew "Miss Budweiser" to utilize auto based power, always aircraft engines. First Rolls Royce Merlins and later Griffons. Are you possibly referring to "Miss Chrysler Crew" which sported two 426 Hemis? It did sink at one point in the Detroit River. Here is a shot of both circa 1967.
Not all marine engines run opposite, only RH rotation. I do not recall if Chrysler offered a RH rotation Marine 426 Hemi back in the day. On a RH rotation engine, the camshaft, distributor & oil pump all run in the normal direction because a gear drive with no idler is used for the cam drive...
Keep in mind that all of the 426 Hemi's were assembled at the Chrysler Marine plant in Marysville Michigan. That doesn't explain the OP's odd stampings on his block though. That facility also did factory reman's as well. Approx. 1 year ago there were two very crusty NOS hemi short blocks for...
Another thing to consider is shipping. If theses NOS panels are nearby and you can pick them up, you are ahead by eliminating shipping costs with repops.
Thanks guys. These photos go back a few years to the first IHRA National Event at Grand Bend Motorplex, in Ontario. I normally raced drag bikes and, IHRA thought enough of their sportsman racers to include Box and No Box ET classes at their national events. Unfortunately for the first couple of...
My '69 Charger R/T last summer. Interesting bit, the large white building across the water is the Chrysler Marysville MI parts depot. Formerly the Chrysler Marine & Industrial Plant, where all of the Hemi engines were assembled. My Charger has not strayed far from it's roots.
