This is mainstream for Rich. While most go the SBC/BBC route Rich is the salmon going up stream to mate.

Rich,
  What size is that early model injected hemi in the background of the picture.
Oh by the way the Packard is very nice also.  :-)

PS. Does the hemi fit in the vega?
I love the USA. How much longer will we be a free nation?

Asking questions is one's only way of getting answers.

The rational person lets verified facts form or modify his opinion.  The ideologue ignores verified facts which don't fit his preconceived opinions.

I saw it first and was keeping quiet about it hoping you all would look at the Packard.

It's a '92 +.030 and it came out of the Vega to make room for the Packard. Also Dan, I don't care what anyone says, I have never mated with a Packard.

Is that because the Packard was a Clipper?

It was from a Patrician and now I am more worried than ever.

On the outside chance some one has not seen an assembled Packard in a Vega, this is it.
