My brother and I built a couple of these motors back in the early 80's! Man they're freak'n boat anchors! The heads alone where like 70 pounds apiece! We had to travel to Jim Oddy's in Buffalo just to get an oil pump. We were going to put it in a 73 cuda. Never did get around to it. Put a 340 in it instead. Not my choise for a street motor when so many other options are available. The idea is to take the weight off the front end not add a few hundred pounds.
Nice!! ENVY ENVY ENVY I had one too. My second car in '72 was a barley used '71 340 Demon. White w/ blacked-out hood and twin scoops. I was one cool 11th grader. don't know what I was thinking when I traded it for a new '74 camero (wasn't even a Z-28).
great job, bruce! cragar's scream old school nostalgia ... one of my favorite wheels of all time ... 392 looks right at home in your screamin' demon !
I bought a 71 demon Red/black 340 4 Speed car out of West Virginia. I was so wanting to restore the car, After I had the car bead blasted the body was gone. Sadly enough the car couldn't be saved. Stripped it and parted it out. LOVE THEM MOPARS
Hey I have a 1971 Dodge Demon automatic ... how much did it cost for the 392 hemi and the add ons under the hood? I just have the original rebuilt 318 and rebuilt 904 tranny but I have a 727 and I want a bigger engine.
@AJLintner hemi will prob run you 2000 2500 theyre hard to find nowdays i used to have a 1970 valiant duster 340 it was the first year of the duster body and i was a retard and let it get crushed
Id really like to get a 71 demon (or sport) and put a 5.7 hemi into it (I have to have mileage I'm still in high school) then I would like to base the exterior (and interior I guess lol) on the Mexican Dodge Super Bees. Does anyone know where I could find a solid body for a fair price?
@beepandbop Good point. I hadn't considered the overall size due to small difference between the original hemis and the elephant 426s. But it's great to say, "It's got a hemi in it." Thanks for the input.
@robkal56 well I'm not sure the size differences, Chrysler engines are very interesting but I'm not very good at them. I do know that displacement is NOT a good indicator for the actual size of the engine.
@beepandbop Oh, I agree. The obvious Mopar example is a 426 vs. 440.
Then my original observation stands. Shoehorning any big block into an A body is an accomplishment, especially for the guy working out of his garage. Take it easy.
