    I had my pick of his collection that I could buy and it wasn't easy Lol. I chose a smick VJ 770 318 Sherwood Green metallic Charger instead. I bought many others too but he offered to let me buy one of their own very best Vals at one stage

    Good tune will go a long way 👍🏻looks like it was a single barrel Hemi index your plugs a big open air cleaner will do wonders as your motor works like a air pump does it have extactors or split exhaust and a good flow system as it will run hot 🔥 if you have the original manifold and the butter fly is frozen 🥶 she will run hot 🥵 . I owned an original orange VH coupe in the early 90s plus a VH v8 coupe 318 also your cam is different on a factory single barrel Hemi etc Owned many MOPAR all the best with the MOPAR 👍🏻.

    Was running a 5 core in Mt Isa, mid 80's throughh mid 90's.
    Ambient temps up to 45°c plenty 42° days. 91° thermostat.
    Rarely saw 100° on the Murphy switchgauage in an E37 Charger built 20 thou over to 320HP E49 spec. No a/c though..lol...
    Radiator capacity counts, especially in the heat & in your case a heavier car.
