Kenny Wayne Shepherd’s 1964 Dodge 330
Check out Kenny Wayne Shepherd’s latest Mopar, a 1964 Dodge 330. While powered by a modern Hemi, the rest of the car has an old school, drag car style. That powerplant makes it hard to miss the original slant six. Find more detail at Hot Rod. More pics after the jump!

One little tidbit: “The fuel system has an in-tank pump that accommodates variable pressures, half-inch fuel lines and eight high-flow injectors that can drain the car’s 18.5-gallon fuel tank in just 13 minutes when the engine is running at full power.” Strangely, that should not be impressive but it is.
