    The engine in the hot rod in the video is a 331 Cubic Inch Hemi "NOT "a (426 HEMI). On ALL 426 HEMI"S the Distributors were On the front of Engine.

    Special Note:

    The Chrysler 331 Hemi engine was used from 1951- 1955 It was the first Hemi engine produced by Chrysler.

    I like it and the hemi power, but I don't like the paint job.

    On another note, Mopar REALLY missed the boat by not having the Prowler with a Hemi in it. That would have been completely EPIC.

    Well, a 2032 Prowler Highboy could get it done. Imagine Ford and Chev bawling into their beer at yet another completely missed opportunity, as they must have when they got curb-stomped by the Challenger then the Hellcats.
