Does anybody know who owns this car?

What show, when & where would help your search.

I don't know I found these pics on the HAMB. I have a similar thread over there.

Thanks

I just found out that those pics were taken at the Kruse Auction at Auburn, IN over Labor Day Weekend of 2006. It was in the car corral, not the auction.

No idea of the owner. I see it has aftermarket wheels with non stock

later model dog dish caps......maybe the police cruiser rims.

Looks like a hemi. Sharp car.

[68fastwilliams]

Yea the Hemi is the point. I'm about to do the same swap and would love to talk to this guy.

Since the auction was in Auburn, the car is probably from around there,

You might try looking up any Mopar clubs there.

The Auburn event is huge. Cars come from all over the country.

I followed this car for a bit in Auburn 1994 and it was from the

state of Washington.

Who owns it? ME I WISH!!!! LOL

Not sure what size hemi that is but if its a 270 it was a bolt in. The 270 shared a block with the non hemi v8s in the 55-56 plymouths.

No way, that's a late model 426 hemi! Definitely serious overkill!

When I bought my 47 I had originally intended to put in a Mopar 400 stroker (502ci) aluminum-headed wedge that I already had, but changed my mind. The main problem I foresaw was how much reinforcing I would have to do to keep the frame from being twisted into wreckage by over 600 lbft of torque. It's easy enough to put in a transmission and rearend to stand up to the stress, but what are you planning for the frame?

PS Comparing the photos I see that you can get an elephant in with the original firewall in place, which is convenient, but you will have to completely remove the OEM heater assembly and fan system. Not an insurmountable problem, but it means an expen$ive aftermarket under-dash system. I would also question how well the engine cools with that small radiator, especially since he stood it up to make the shroud work without bothering to seal the sides to force the air through the radiator.

About the frame... Since the front suspension will not be up to the task, the car most likely will get a Fatman stub frame. This unit has the steering rack, suspension and brakes built in. The suspension will be air ride. The rest of the stock frame is more than able to handle it.

As for the heater, the stock unit will work. The engine will get Hilborn injection and the massive elephant air cleaner will not come into play.
