Yeah, I like it, but how about a coal rolling 5.9 in a 68 charger. Now that would take the cake!

only one problem. . .the block is WAY too tall to fit where you can still see the front bumper even with a cown induction hood. . .think of the mad max car with the blower sticking out of the hood.

Hmm, I wonder if the block could be angled so as to allow the cowl to be smaller, slant six style. Probably would cause oiling issues, oh well.

If a Pos '65 Chevy can roast them then I guess maybe a New Yorker can toast them. Lots of engine bay room and wide enough to see by the cowl.

My father had a 67 New Yorker with a 440 650 holley on it, had that car up to 145 MPH once started floating had to back off. Some ground effects would be needed. I loved that car would smoke any other lux car at that time. 18 and bullet proof was so much fun. but a Cummins in it it was a thin engin bay would make a big bump in the hood.
