You have to wonder who got the last 440 with "The End" painted on it.

That last picture, with all the Hemi's; I thought it might be Jerry Hall's secret vault.

Indeed. @Jerry Hall might have a comparable stash.

(Side note: Most of that page derives information from the old allpar.com - back when that site was
actually useful as one of the prominent repositories of all things Mopar, before Dave kinda went
a different direction over there).

My friends Dad worked at Trenton engine....Frank Wallon was his name.
He was a quality control inspector and took us kids on a factory tour once. Very Cool.

Thanks for sharing those great pics.
That's the heart of American Muscle right there with some hard working assembly line folks.

Love those pictures. Massive cylinder boreing maching had me looking at it for a while. A room full of 426 Hemis is a wet dream. Oops did I say that

You often hear how important it is to keep everything as spotlessly clean as possible during an engine build. You kind of have to wonder how clean those final assembled engines actually were with all the equipment, machining and fitting operations, open factory floor facilities and continuous movement along assembly lines, etc.

Great pictures - thanks.
