The '69 Charger A.K.A. General Lee used in the series were powered by a
318ci, 383ci, or 440ci engines with 4 barrel carbs, no six packs how sad...
. Don't ask how I know... I just do.
Never heard of a 426 Hemi General Lee but that doesn't mean there never was
one. Most replicas I've seen have either 440's or 426 Hemi motors...
426 Hemi was best known in Barracuda, or as it was know Hemi 'Cuda. See and
listen to 'Phantasm' for a nice Hemi 'Cuda

You just gotta love the sound of a Hemi V8...and that big ol' steel whip
CB antenna that twanged around whenever they'd powerslide around a
corner. hehehe<br><br>
There were dozens of those cars made for the series. Most of them
wrecked. Most were just plain-Jane Chargers, but they made at least
one with the 426 in it. If only for the soundtrack. :)
I remember seeing something about a guy who bought what he thought was a
regular Charger. Got it pretty cheap. Then he started finding
orange paint all over the place. When he went to restore the
interior, he found some kind of Warner Brothers purchase order or
something underneath the back seat when he took it out. did some
research on it and found that it was one of the many used in the
series.<br><br>
