426+6 Hemi Cuda

[Fart Factory]

the Stinkworks Facility has been hard at work on the most awesome Hemi, when we heard they make a six pack intake for the 426, we knew we needed to build one and drop that into a Cuda. or maybe a Superbird, still a toss up.

but when we decide it is ready to be dropped in the frame!

the motor is from the '68 Dodge Charger, the six pack is from the '71 GTX

thanks for looking

smell ya later!

thanks, i use German grey, tamiya XF-63. then went with some flat clear to really give them a chalky look, then painted in some black shadows with multiple layers of acrylic. wish that showed up better in the pics!

Ed....multiple trusted sources have documented that Chrysler was planning a 6bbl street version of the 426 Hemi before it was cancelled, but I have never seen an actual photo of such a project.

Accordingly, I am wondering what is the background of the full size photo you show in this post? Does it say whether it is a modern-day recreation or does it claim to be a restoration of a test engine that was constructed back in the day?

In any case, your 1/25th scale replica looks terrific! Let us know once you decide to put it in a model car body - that ought to be quite the project!

Best regards....TIM

I'm no expert at all, i believe they have been available in the aftermarket for a few years now. costing around 500-700 bucks.
