I remember seeing a new aluminum BB Mopar head that had the 452 casting number cast into it. I suspect that Chrysler was trying to get it accepted as a legal replacement, but I haven't seen anything in the engine blueprint specs. |
That's the trans, Pont-A-Monsson. In the picture it looks like quite a contraption. Name sounds like something a women would use for personal hygeine. I wonder if Eckstrands 62 Chrysler 300 letter car is kicking around somewhere. This car was a Cordovan color (reddish brown). Earlier in the year he had a white 300 with an auto trans that he drag raced. Big and heavy but they made some power back in the day.
