Did I miss any?
Small block Chysler?...did they measure a 273 Commando? 340 Six Pack? 360
Dodge Van? I don't know...I am sure one or two different variations of LA
motors came out from Chrysler over the years the point was just give some
perspective on engine sizes...
I would guess it would be possible to put a small Mopar under the hood of an
Alpine or Tiger...or even a Hemi...with the right amount of time and money.
Does anyone recall the Small Block Chevy Alpine that was one Ebay about a
year or so ago? Candy Apple Red...custom interior...Weld Racing Draglites
for wheels...maybe a 383 stroker motor...I think it sold in the $12K-$13K
range...if they did it so could someone else.
And again please see above for the disclaimers on this email.
Thanks,
Paul
