Timmy b, you saw that episode where they rolled the "hemi under glass" briefly I wondered if they "staged" that, but I don't think so,that car's too valuable plus the dude that owns it has to be pushing80 yrs old too much chance of serious injury of him and Jay! Have you seen the videos of that car running from the 70's? It has a Plexiglas window on the drivers floor so he can see the track when he's doing those 6 foot wheelstands ! I actually owned a65 barracuda. Paid 25 bucks for it! Had a slant six automatic.the only way it'd do a wheelstand is if you jacked up the front end!,

Hey,Timmy b,the "Hemi under glass" was featured in Hot Rod magazine in the late 60's,70's but I forget the exact driveline configuration,not much room for drv,shft u joints etc! Had to have SOMETHING to compensate for movement, can't just bolt the whole powertrain solid. The slant six had a performance option(four barrel carb,etc.) But it sounds like you're referring to a small hemi v/8. The smallest hemi I know of stateside was a341, I had one in a Desoto coupe 1955 model. Toyota built a hemi for their medium duty tks,Saw a couple in "yank" street rods looks like a mopar motor.

Timmy b,totally unrelated subject! My grandson has a bearded Dragon as a pet,supposedly a native of the Australian desert.Do you see them running all over the place,like we have squirrels and rabbits in our backyards in America? Really cool lizard,very tame you can put it on you're t shirt and it will stay there while you walk around!
