Re: 440 hemi ( was Re: Hemi info for display)

[Jeff <chargr1969@xxxxxxxxx>]

dj, i didn't realize there are heads you can buy to make your small block a hemi. i tryed the link and it said error 404 could not find. i'd love to see the write up. i have a 340 needing a rebuild and i'd love to do this to it. maybe another link? i like the stage 5 that was posted, a little pricy but BIG horsepower. i got 2 440's i could do that to one of them. jeff
