Wow. 16.5 Large....as they say in those '70's mobster movies. I know it's a Hemi developed from the famous 426 Mopar engine of the '60's , has all those speed parts, some of them made from exotic metals, like unobtainium....but gee that price....that's a lot of bread.

Sweet engines for less money, just the additional freight to consider.
Displacement (cu. In.) 521 and HP-609 @5750-5750 for $9,950.00 US.
