Re: It's HEMI time !!! Compliments of NJSteve
 

If anyone is interested in the above mentioned narrow 15x4 inch wide Cragars (that are actually 4-3/4" bolt pattern, not 4-1/2"!!!) I have them for sale on ebay:

Turns out the guy I bought them from didn't know how to measure bolt patterns! So, maybe someone here can use them.

I am keeping the tires, though. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/grin.gif

just got the hemmings today steve.. Nice article but I had to giggle at the part where the original owners Son grenaded the hemi at *150* mph.. lol yea ok, with 4.88 gears. double ok. LOL with 88's, 115 mph would be more like it.

Re: It's HEMI time !!! Compliments of NJSteve
 

With 28" tall tires and the 4.10s I hit about 6800 in 3rd gear at 111 mph through the traps. 115 would be about right if you weren't trying to blow it up!

I guess if you try to go 150, it will probably rev to about 9500 RPM...once.

His buddies said the engine looked like a top-fueler explosion: there was nothing but schrapnel below the cylinder heads, https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...emlins/eek.gif hence, the reference to the original motor currently residing along the 2 mile stretch between exits 8 and 10 on I-287. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/grin.gif

It probably looked like flaming ME-109 after being shot down by a P-51 Mustang.

I hooked her up to the old Sun 1115 I found at the local Chrysler dealer. Hear's what it sounds like runnin'

That may well be my new favorite show on the "tube"! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif

It makes for some great "white noise". It will definitely put you to sleep...or maybe that's the carbon monoxide in the garage. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/grin.gif

MY OLD TIRES RETURNED FROM THE GRAVE!!!
 

OK, now here's an absolutely un-freakin-believable story:

You know how I posted above, how I am looking for some rear rims to replace the ones from my Charger that I gave away 21 years ago?

Well, I just found <u>MY OLD RIMS AND TIRES</u> on ebay and bought them! They were 40 miles from my house in Jersey! They are the rims with the same Parnelli Jones L60x15 Firestones on them. I paid $78 for the pair and they are now back home and ready to be cleaned up. The guy said he picked them up from a friend of his in town, about 15 years ago and that guy had them for a few years before that.

I guess I have yet another bizarro story to add to the archive now.

You lucky dog! Those tires are rare and still look pretty nice. A good find, especially when they are your old ones. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ins/3gears.gif

Re: MY OLD TIRES RETURNED FROM THE GRAVE!!!
 

Man, that is incredible! Did you tell the seller that they had once been on your Charger?
