EngineQuest (EQ) heads available again?

It seem that these were discontinued some time ago, but I am finding them again listed by EQ in Las Vegas. They sell them though their eBay store, including the LA intake bolt pattern on a Magnum version. I thought I would include the links to what I f…

Hemi Cuda takes care of Buick GS in modern drag race.

I found this article today. It is not A body related, but good to see the Hemi showing its stuff. The Youtube video linked in the article is annoying to me, so watch at you own inclination.
