alternative engines, now Hemi

[Todd....!!]

Are ya sure that the cranks don't interchange?

What's the diff? Besides the Hemi having 8 flywheel bolt holes vs the
440/383's 6 flywheel bolt holes

Are the main journals a different size? or the rod journals? what?

The stroke is 3.75, same as a 440...

And as for the caps, jsut cuz there's an extra bolt hole in the main
caps for the cross bolt, does that mean ya still can't use em in the
440?

Just wonderinnnnnnnnn............!!

Thanks!

Todd....!!
