1964 Dodge 330 "Race Hemi"
 
I'm so excited, I bought a 1964 Dodge 330 from eastern Canada, it is being transported across the country and should be here in a few days! This was a B/SA car with a 426 max wedge combo, however I would like to build a "Race Only 426 Hemi" combo. I am not a Mopar historian so I could use some advice. Do I have to use a aluminum hood and aluminum hemi scoop to be stock eliminator legal? All steel? Or can I use a steel hood with fiberglass hemi scoop? Who runs this combo? Tom Nolan

According to the NHRA Classification Guide you can run either steel or aluminum but you can't intermix them. If you run steel you can't use a hood scoop and unless you are running IHRA you can't use fiberglass components.

Good luck Tom, you did fine on the T-bolt , new project will cost you a bit more. The last Alum frontend I saw went for just over $20grand. Every thing else should be easy to find.
Have fun !

Glad to hear ''plan A'' for the Dodge. Hope all goes well in the conversion to a race Hemi car. Hope to see it in action soon.

Geeez Tom, now you will have a race car from each of the "Big Three"! Maybe a nice SS/C Hurst AMX would round out the collection!

I"ve been thinking I was a dumbass for putting mine back together and here you guy's come building brand new cars, I feel better now thanks guy's.

Are you planning on going with the single four or the crossram?

No fiberglass or plastics windows allowed. You can put the battery in the trunk though.
