Stage V Engineering supplies those heads. Their website is currently 'under constructuion' so this link will bring you up to speed, http://www.hotrod.com/techarticles/52238/. That episode and project was by far my favorite.

Yup, if you're not going to keep it original, then you might as well go all the way.

BTW, Ron needs a haircut.

I enjoyed that episode much more than the one where they used the Roadrunner as a parts car for a Satellite. I didn't think much of Barry's blowtie bloviating along with that hasbeen from Poison about GM's, yet he keeps making his best money on the Mopars he builds, you'd think he'd at least appreciate them a lil better.

Isn't there an outfit out in AZ that builds Hemi Barracuda and Darts, 60's vintage? I saw them at Mopars at the Strip. They sold the Dart for 60K on the show, I'm thinking these guys from AZ ask more than that.

Good point, I'm surprised there aren't more people making Hemi Darts, Cudas are a little harder to come by, but grab a somewhat common Dart 2 door, stick a Hemi crate engine in it and do a clean job of it, then get some person with a large credit card and let the cash roll in!
