There was also a ThunderBolt with a MT hemi.It was actually at Jess Tyrees shop where my 63 421 Lemans raced out of it.He was the driver of the TBolt.I spent a lot of time at the M/T back door.Bought a lot of stuff from Fritz Voight.The Ford hemi was a PITA as it used 3 pc push rods and had tons of valve train issue.Tom

I can just imagine the guys that engineered the Chrysler Hemi laughing their asses off at the absurdity of 3 piece pushrods
