Looks awesome! the chrome valve covers are nice. Isn't it possible to bolt early hemi heads to a poly engine? seem someone told me that they had the same blocks. Could be wrong

315 poly and 315 hemi were the same blocks, so yes, heads would swap. not quite as easy on the 318.

Nice

Intake does look good on the picture.
But i know how it is, if you think something is disturbing then itÂ´s
difficult to change it (in the mind) so that you like it even if all in the whole
world saying its nice.

about the only thing the early Hemi and the A318 poly
share are the engine to trans bell bolt pattern
and the crank shaft bolt pattern before 1962......

Looking good there ,

I agree with Cowboy.... I think it looks good. The
red paint on the heads between the valve covers and
the intake sets it off well. Two thumbs up from me!

. What are you going to do
with this engine after the 440 is installed??...keep
it for the W200??.... By the way.... DO you own that
'69 W200??

.... I haven't heard much on
that truck.

between this truck, and saving for my trip to houston, i havent had the cash for the w200. its still around, and still for sale, but i got too much money going towards 440 parts, and "keep the truck running" parts. the poly/727 combo will be up for grabs soon as the 440 is ready to go in. by then, ill have all the bugs worked out and she will be purrin!
