which would be better

yesterday i helped a friend(dodge guy) look for a car, we finally came across a 68 charger for 1000 bucks. he swears that he knows of a hemi that he could put in it, but i tell him to save the hemi, but it in a boat or something so the charger could be taken out and driven(wih a 440 or somethin similar), instead of sitting in the garage all the time. just simply give me your opinions

Id go with the 440, a lot of guys at the race track run them, and they are good motors.

I'd go with a 440 for the street.They have lots of power to race anything you might meet tooling around.

Could not have said it better my self.
I don't care if it is the rarest car on the planet, If it is myne, I guaran-damn-tee-it that I'm gonna drive it.
It is an A-U-T-O-M-O-B-I-L-E, not a paper weight. Get out there and enjoy it.
