Carmikeman Posted March 7, 2011 Posted March 7, 2011 drill you some holes in the valve covers:D ever heard of a Hemi with glowplugs. lol nice find.
cowboysevens Posted March 7, 2011 Posted March 7, 2011 it looks to be the detroit 290 hp 8v-71 motor, and from what i can see it looks like the california hauler pete 359. thats a nice find !!
Nick Notarangelo Posted March 7, 2011 Posted March 7, 2011 note to self clean out closet and see what I find
whale392 Posted March 7, 2011 Posted March 7, 2011 I know the feeling; I was going through my second closet and found an original release of the AMT KW K123 Cabover, as well as an AMT 'Midnight Express' Pete 359!
