Re: Original Hemi Cuda Info.......
I've got to admit, Wayne, I haven't heard of this engine before. Care to enlighten those of us who "fell through the cracks" on this one? Give us the story, inquiring minds want to know. Thanks for any info.

Re: Original Hemi Cuda Info.......
I was walking along looking at cars in a museum and had to take a step back for a second look. So I took a couple of pics. I guess it's the only one left and Dick Landy had it at one time. The story I read was they wanted it back , but he said no you gave it to me.

Re: Original Hemi Cuda Info.......
Thanks Wayne,, that was some pretty good reading. I don't blame Landy for not wanting to give it back after all the work he put into it. A cool story.

I just thought I would mention that I met George Baptiste this weekend. He was at the NHRA Hot Rod Reunion in Epping, NH with his hemi Cuda.
