First time I've seen plug wires running through the intake!

[Joe Handley]

Must be a late model Hemi motor.....makes me wonder if that blower actually works though.

[slusher]

That is cool. l bet it's fast.

[outragis]

oh, you should have heard it run!

[Joe Handley]

If it's like the pro street '55 Chevy 2dr wagon I heard the other night, that had to be a pretty healthy whine!

[slusher]

l would have enjoyed hearing it run and seeing it in person. Thanks for posting it...

That's just too KOOL, but I bet it would be a handful if you got on the throttle with a heavy foot, some guys just have all the fun!!

where is the distributor? older hemis are in the rear but I cant follow the wires, never seen dual plug heads on an older hemi? radiator must be in the back trunk. pretty wild ride,

What's it called... 'Hemini'

It's one of the new Hemi motors, which are distributorless and use 16 plugs vs 8 right from the factory. I'm just not sure where he's got the coil packs mounted.

An example of too much is not enough! Wild ride.

Just imagine if he had put a twin plug 426 Hemi based motor in it instead! Probably wouldn't have that much hood left on it.

Weight distribution? It doesn't even look good with the engine that far forward.

"Hemini" has been done before anyway, with a proper engine in a real Mini:

[outragis]

This car is wicked in person! Another show in 2 weaks, I'm sure it will be there, il take more pics and ask questions...

[Tom Geiger]

I can only imagine how much it cost to build that! New mini, new hemi...

How long will it be before we see something like that Stuffed into a Fiat 500??? ;-)

Do you by any chance have a Grandma who lives in Pasadena? ;-)

Eh, get a totaled Mini with front end damage, pull the Hemi out of a totaled Hemi Truck or LX car, buy goodies and break out the torches!

That would take a lot of Shoehorn

Be better off finding a rearended Minivan, Journey, Avenger, or 200 with the Pentastar/6-speed Auto combo and make a SHOgun type pocket rocket out of it

Basically this,

With this

Mounted here,

With bodywork like this,

For something like these.................in Fiat 500 form!

And no you can't have my 200 as a donor car
