The engine has a little more cam than a six pack and bowl blending is legal in the heads (eliminates the cheating and trying to hide it) The combo was developed by Jack McCormik (sp?) back when MoPar did not have a factory produced Big Block combo at that time. Maybe thats where he got the idea? There were at least 2 of them running several years ago (10 +) and they ran well without the combo being on "Kill". If anyone is interested in building such a car Im sure Danny Waters or Hank Blankenship could help out with the complete specs. It makes a fast low dollar combo for those who are not overly loaded with money.
I believe it was Denise Marcum, her dad and possibly Pazak (white '70 Cuda). Denise's Dart Sport was in E/CM and the Challenger was in F/CM. It was actually defactored from 410 to 405!
