	Sorry for the non-Audi content, but this Hemi talk takes me back 
tosome wonderful street drag memories.

	Some little known facts:  (1) If you have the cash to go with the 
dream, you can still buy a 426 Hemi--new.  In fact they are reportedly 
better [cast to much tighter specs] than the old original.  Order it in 
pieces from Mopar Performance:  810-853-7290.  (2)  With some work, the 
426h will climb to 800 hp.  No blower or funny stuff [NO2] etc.  One guy 
that can sell you this motor [or a streetable 426h stroked to 
471--630+ hp] is Ray Barton:  610-670-8591.  Calls the motor the "Krate 
Hemi" priced at a perfect $12,999.  

	While there were rumors of the stock hp of the 426h, the 519 
estimate is probably high.  Torque was rated at 490lbs. from the factory 
and that was known low. 

	Sorry again for the non-Audi babble, just have to talk Mopar 
every now and again.  

Later,
