As soon as it warms up I'm loading some gas and electricity on the dogsled and see if 1 or both of these will firepower up.  The "baby" hemi is a 270 cu in and the other is probably a 315 or 325 Dodge truck engine.  

Yes--hemi engines even make "old" hotrodders firm!

Overspray,

   Once I heard the voice there was no mistaking who it was!

   I should have guessed by your user name!

  Are the Hemi's your's and are they for sale?
