Okay boys and girls, as promised I'm starting a build thread on the Dodge Red Ram Hemi. I started on the project about 13 years ago and, as has happened before, got side-tracked. For several years prior I thunk a Baby Hemi would be cool even 'tho I didn't have a car to put it in. Managed to pick up a few engines real cheap,....like the most I ever spend was $300.00 for a D-500. Most folks wanted a Chrysler. So I got this stash of stuff and started buying parts and doing modifications and then,.... got the distractions. Now I'm back on track and enjoying discovering where I left off and finding all the parts that are suddenly cool. The engine is the biggest of the Red Rams at 325 cu. in. Stock it had 9.2:1, a pretty aggressive cam and a 4 bbl. Back in 2001, I did porting and polishing, block deburring, polished the rods and had the rotating assembly balanced. Also made my own .09 copper exhaust gaskets for the headers I hope to build some day. - - - - - Than all went quiet with the Hemi for about 12-13 years
