Thats a half-breed 360/440. 360 is a small block, and the 440 is a big block but that single kits engine carries different aspects of BOTH those engines! The figure with your Jeep there, where she'd come from? That would make an AWESOME Daisy Duke!!!!

yesterday i was feeling pretty good, i was able to drill out the distributor, spark plug holes and fit wires. At that point i realized the DCOE carb set and runners were too wide to clear the engine bay. The solution i thought was to cut and narrow the Carb and runner set, much to my chagrin i nicked some of the wires, at that point i should have just left it be, but noooo, i had to fiddle and messed it all up. I tired to drill out other distributors and messed up two more, and stabbed myself with the drill twice, after that i decided enough is enough, from now on i will be making distributors. It doesn't look as nice as the provided ones, but it is made from aluminum and plastic, aluminum outside plastic in the middle and aluminum at the core. Nice thing is i can drill as many holes as i need and severely reduce the risk of a blow out and stab.

Drew, what ya do to the tubes on the Hemi? Just shorten them? -Looks pretty good in that Jeep! Also looks to be one of the Little Red wagon Hemi's too. which isn't the "Hemi" they call it out to be! that engines heads & valve covers are more 241, 259, 270 Hemi (These were the Baby Hemi's" known as the Dodge Red Ram's), so.... Which were small for a Hemi, but still a BIG engine compared to a standard wedge type engine! LOTS of torque on that engine your putting in theJeep make for a good crawler, or with the intake a really good pulling truck!
