        Sounds like the best kind of LSR fun. Gosh even with that tube axle the
engine compartment must be stuffed full of Hemi. If it ran 208 with the
Pontiac what do you expect from the 392?

        Where does one get an adaper to put a toploader on an old Hemi?

        What number is your car? Any pictures on the SCTA web page?
