landman Posted May 20, 2016 Posted May 20, 2016 What kit was this in? My research says there was only two of these made .
gtx6970 Posted May 20, 2016 Posted May 20, 2016 Is it in the stock 1970 Bee.?For some reason I'm thinking it may be in the pro street version only

unclescott58 Posted May 20, 2016 Posted May 20, 2016 The kits shown above have the DOHC Hemi in them? They look like "regular" Hemis to me. I've never seen the DOHC Hemi in any kit I've ever had. But, I'm not a big Mopar guy. And when be do build Mopars, I build showroom/factory stock versions. So a few with regular Hemis, but no DOHC versions.
dptydawg Posted May 20, 2016 Posted May 20, 2016 I think it was in the 70 street custom kit. I have one in still sealed in a Walmart 4 pack . I was told it had a DOHC hemi but I can't verify that.Carl
Ace-Garageguy Posted May 20, 2016 Posted May 20, 2016 '70 Prostreet Coronet. I'm using one in this build... http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/topic/58538-project-phoenix-custom-61-dodge-dart-resurrection-the-wall-march-29/?page=6 This video shows the parts and calls them out specifically.
Drake69 Posted May 20, 2016 Posted May 20, 2016 Good ID on this. I have this kit but haven't built it yet.
Daddyfink Posted May 20, 2016 Posted May 20, 2016 Cool engine, too bad neither of the prototypes ever ran.
Mike Kucaba Posted May 20, 2016 Posted May 20, 2016 Cool engine, too bad neither of the prototypes ever ran. Only with an electric motor powering it . According to my references.
gtx6970 Posted May 20, 2016 Posted May 20, 2016 It's either the '71 Plymouth GTX kit or the '68 Dodge Dart Hemi GTS I believe... The '68 Dart... The '71 GTX.... The DOHC hemi isnt in either of them
Daddyfink Posted May 20, 2016 Posted May 20, 2016 Only with an electric motor powering it . According to my references.Yes, that is same thing I read.
Jon Haigwood Posted May 20, 2016 Posted May 20, 2016 It's either the '71 Plymouth GTX kit or the '68 Dodge Dart Hemi GTS I believe... The '68 Dart... The '71 GTX.... Al I see is a regular Hemi and a Max Wedge
Bill J Posted May 20, 2016 Posted May 20, 2016 Definitely came in the 79 SuperBee Pro Street kit. Not sure if it also came in the stock SuperBee kit.

Jantrix Posted May 20, 2016 Posted May 20, 2016 (edited) From the 70 Superbee prostreet kit. Very early work for me. Edited May 20, 2016 by Jantrix
unclescott58 Posted May 20, 2016 Posted May 20, 2016 From the 70 Superbee prostreet kit. Very early work for me. Okay. That looks like a DOHC Hemi.
Bill J Posted May 20, 2016 Posted May 20, 2016 The odd thing to me is that the 426 DOHC engine in the SuperBee looks more accurate than any Ford 427 SOHC engine I have seen kitted, even though the Ford SOHC was actually run in lots of drag cars and even top fuelers.
RAT-T Posted May 20, 2016 Posted May 20, 2016 LOOKING AT THE FIST PIC, WOULDN'T THIS BE A SINGLE IN HEAD CAM MOTOR?
Daddyfink Posted May 20, 2016 Posted May 20, 2016 LOOKING AT THE FIST PIC, WOULDN'T THIS BE A SINGLE IN HEAD CAM MOTOR? Nope, dual cam
Harry P. Posted May 20, 2016 Posted May 20, 2016 Did that DOHC HEMI ever get past prototype stage? It was never actually made, was it? Odd that it would have been tooled up and included in a kit.
