Hey gang,
I keep vacillating on whether to go Hemi or not. My 68 has a 360 in it now. Want around 500hp and awesome sound of course. I am leaning toward a Blueprint stroked 440 to 493 with 525 hp and 600 lb-ft from carb to pan for $8500. The only mod I would have to make is a new 727 with flange that will fit the big block or go with 4spd.
As far as I know there is not a Hemi that will come close for this side of $20k correct? Plus even an older Hemi would require modifications to fit is that true? I can also add fuel injection to the 493 for an extra $1k from Blueprint.
So if I have all of this correct, I am curious of what if any advantages of going to a Hemi - any Hemi for that matter?
