Best part of senility is finding out you own stuff that you forgot you had- like a hemi motor that your friend has been storing for you for 12 years
Just to be clear, this isn't a late 60s 426 Mopar elephant motor, or a dragworthy 50s Chrysler 392 Firepower Hemi, it's a 1953 Dodge Red Ram 241 cubic inch "baby hemi." Cute little pitbull of a powerplant.
Fun fact: during the 50s Chrysler Corp made Chysler FirePower Hemis, DeSoto FireDome Hemis, and Dodge Red Ram Hemis, and they are all completely different blocks with few if any interchangeable parts.
So I get off the phone with him, turns out I also forgot he has my '49 Cadillac 331 motor. I gotta keep better track of my junk
Filleted from my $120 Cadillac several years ago, sadly it's a frozen-up boat anchor
I miss that Cadillac. Bought it for $120, used the dashboard for a hot rod, kept the engine, sold various parts for about $250, sold the rest as scrap metal for $125. It's in the great Cadillac parking lot in the sky now #RIP
