Check this out Ebay Item #270338770022 This is it, The only one of these that mortal man will ever get a chance to own!! John Arruza Built the supposed only one of these left in existence and put it in a Barracuda formerly owned by Tom Hoover. There where some parts of another un-earthed and what you see on Ebay is the creation of those parts. I have seen it, it's real, I have touched it!!!
Cute but,,why ?? its art,,would be insane to run it cuase if your break something your screwed ,,there are no parts for it. 1 0f 2 ?? Then you'd end up with 10 g of s**** metal neat but .........
Howdy, that is my engine on ebay, the funky A279 ball stud hemi. you would have to try pretty hard to break it, has only the best stuff inside-crank, rods and custom pistons etc. Built it to be used, not as a never to be run museum piece. It should handle a moderate amount of beating no sweat. If you did blow it to bits by driving like a knucklehead you would have a lot more than 10g worth of s****. That is just the opening bid, I am not selling it for that little. If nobody buys it i will eventually screw it into something, perhaps my psycho 69 chrysler. Check out my albums if you want to see it. Lee in san diego
This thing has been floating around for some time. I saw it on Ebay close to 2 years ago. Why install into something? Leave it on an engine stand, it is rare! I've seen posts from different forums about this engine several times, it must change hands often. I would have fired it long enough to go through cam break-in and then never fired it again. Just walk by it every now and then and spin the crank. Steven.
