426 Hemi w/ 833, driveshaft and Dana 60

[303 Mopar]

Nick's Garage has this complete set up for sale for an e-body. It is Nick's '69 date coded 426 Hemi, 23 spline 833, driveshaft and Dana 60.  There are links in the comments of the video to see it run on the dyno.  I think ideally if you had a roller and sent it to him to install everything and ship it back.

It sounds like he is accepting offers via email at indyauto@videotron.ca.

Nick seems like a great guy, I enjoy his videos.... Unfortunate he has to sell one of his pride and joy to pay for life, but I get where's he's coming from...we can't all be rich

I've built 3 or 4 426's, a 472, 528, 572. Trust me, I'll never build another 426.

Why is that?

[anlauto]

I would guess "bigger is better" 

So what's Nick's set-up worth ?

Never owned a Hemi but curious why you would not build a 426 ? or as Alan mentioned Bigger is Better.

  Curious about he 426 comment myself....

The reason is the engines are so much more streetable and have a much better torque curve with a longer stroke. Instead of coming alive at 3500RPM the torque comes in at a lower RPM and is much more tractable. The stock Street Hemi heads are too big for a street 426 that is typically operated between idle and 5000RPM.
Sure a 426 runs fine and can be driven and raced but a stroker will be a lot nicer to drive, more responsive and faster even with a small camshaft.
My 426's would run good to 100MPH, then they would start to really hit their stride and pull away from other big blocks. A stroker Hemi pulls away from other big blocks as soon as the tires stop spinning.

This one would be for someone wanting a more authentic restoration. Even though it's now dressed as a 70, it could be used as a ''period-correct'' replacement in a restoration.
The build of the Kowalski Challenger took up a lot resources quickly, so instead of jeopardizing the business, Nick decided to let one of the toys go, and the Hemi setup is an easier sell than an unfinished Challenger R/T or a barn-find T/A...
These engines are hard to find, and it will take a lot of time to gather up all the parts and put everything together, so this is a great opportunity for the right buyer!

What's yours estimations, is $40-45K realistic, Im not a buyer I have my own 68 just guessing on this one.

[Flatdad]

I think he's probably looking for 40k & up, judging by the youtube comments and his responses. It isn't a 'to the numbers' date code correct build for a '69 or a '70. Its an extremely nice clone motor though. Being a 23 spline 4 spd doesn't help. No mention if the Dana is dated for '70 either. Including an E-Body K-member and Challenger driveshaft certainly helps.

All factors considered, I think 35k US Dollars is fair for what he has, based on my meager experiences hunting Hemi parts.

I see what your saying, Never really drove a 426 but my 572 on pump gas runs like a hot 340 on the street and is very well mannered. it has a very small solid cam and at 3900 rpm its like 690fts of torque. That being said I would love to have another hemi.

All makes sense to me  ...... of course you can build a killer 512 wedge for similar cost as the heads & rocker gear for a Hemi  too .

Nope, the Kowalski car's original engine is getting a stock rebuild for show, and another, modified 440 is getting built to take it's place for go...
