If it was a '64 or '65, it would have been a "not intended for highway use" race hemi. Those cars had the ram manifold and 12.5:1 compression. Although they were rated at 425 horsepower to keep the government at bay and the sanctioning bodies in the dark, they actually put out around 600 horsepower. A real numbers matching copy is worth at least 150K today. Paul
