I have started an new project recently....An MPC HEMI Cuda, picked ups some big and little Centerline Wheels from Pegasus, got some nice "racing" seats from Arrowhead. I even have some color ideas in my head, however, I do have one point of indecisiveness.....The power plant, I dont know if I want to use the HEMI from the 67 Coronet or if I want to use the HEMI from the Magnum wagon???

What do you guys think?????

Thanks for the input.....

Haven't seen many use a modern powerplant, go with the Magnum engine

If you are going "old-school" with the big and little centerlines, I would use the '67 engine, but if you might lean toward more of a "touring" look and the tires are sucked up into the wheel wells, then I would go with the magnum engine. But, whatever you do, you can never go wrong with a MoPar B)

I agree....the Magnum motor would be a nice touch. Here's the XV Motorsports' car I saw at last year's Goodguys East Coast Nats here in NY:

And here's the new HEMI, looking right at home in that E-body Mopar:

Hey Len - your avatar pic, is that from So. Glens Falls NY? I'm about 30-40 minutes from there, and a lot of folks I know from there reminisce about that place.
