Nice man I did enjoy those fantastically custom pistons that came with it... very nice man those get like what 16:1 compression with that kind of dish caused by the outside of the piston folding up right? That must be a custom hemi engine.

oh they were custom alright... pretty sure the only reason the damn thing ran at all was the blower was keeping compression on the engine... everything was TOAST!
