The Dodges are really compact little hemis. The
measurements are: 590 Lbs dry weight. 32.75"
wide including stock spin on oil filter. Change
to a remote filter and the width is 30". 26"
high from bottom of stock oil pan to top of
carburetor mouth. 28" from bellhousing flange to
front pully. Displacements came stock at 241,
270, 315, and 325. I believe the two larger are
"raised deck" and would result in about 1" wider
overall dimension. I've never measured an Ardun,
but I have seen the Ardun and Dodge side by side
on display stands, and to my eye, the Dodge
looked smaller. What does the Ardun measure?
