Hate to bust your bubble, but I have many decades experience with Mopars, Packards, Studebakers, etc., etc., etc.. And as you so eloquently explained if the original "Hemi" part started out life as the lowly wedge part (which it probably did), then taking the wedge part and modifying it (now) as the factory did would mean that you just turned it in to a "hemi" part...just like Mopar did.
You can't do that with real live honest to God "Hemi specific" parts.
Oh yeah, my post count on this one forum means nothing, except to those who think they're better, holier, whatever, because they have more posts on "this forum". Cause when it gets down to it, this forum doesn't mean much outside of this forum
Y'all are acting like the "old folks" over on Yellowbullet
