Keith Black Hemi? Just a guess

Tod74 09-25-2009 11:56 PM

Since it says Keith Black on it, that's my guess too.

The engine owner's name is Keith Black and he's just afraid somebody will steal his motor.

Tod74 09-26-2009 04:24 PM

THERATTLER 09-26-2009 04:54 PM

It's not a JP1 , kb , mopar , arias , really looks like a
one-off somebody made..

DirkaDirka 09-26-2009 05:00 PM

To me it is too square to be made from a top brand.

bjuice 09-26-2009 06:35 PM

If someone gave me a hemi I'd just sell it to build a BBC.....or better yet, show it to a bunch of MOPAR guys then refuse to sell it.
