Car appreciation... the aesthetics, the engineering, etc

7.4litre engine? they could walk the 100 yards that you would get before running out of petrol and give you a kicking too. I wonder what its actual mpg is, but 7.4 litres of fun for the price of a second hand mondeo?...awesome.

What do you think that Hemi needs in terms of injector?

Only just seen this....nice motor. I like the Aussie Mopars.

Anal technical point - It's not a Hemi but a regular big block. At 452ci it's probably the classic, 440 Crank shoved in a 400 block. A very awesome engine combo.

BB Mopars are actually not too bad on MPG**, I could get around 18mpg on the freeway. They suck around town though - I ran a very similar Holley 750 to this one and you're looking at 6-8 at best.

EFI makes a huge difference which is why I'm fitting it to mine! I'm using a manifold injected set up with 8, 60lb/hr injectors and a FAST EZ-EFI brain. Seems we are way behind the curve in the UK with aftermarket EFI.

Dammit you might want to check out the XFI system which is able to handle different fuels and forced induction, it's cool but was a bit OTT for what I wanted.

xx - Actually so much depends on gearing and carb....if you're running 3.73s or above and a massive Holley DP it's going to be juicy, no matter what.
