The New nostalgia tee shirts are a blast from the past. Note the tee shirt Don, the original owner of Milodon, was wearing in 1960. The Van Nuys was added a few years after. The new shirts are produced from the same artwork and are as original as you can get. Available only in Black.
Don was 6' 7" and as Milodon at the time made main girdle supports, the Hemi in what was Don's giant hand became the logo.

The Milodon 7 Liter Hemi
There was a time when 90% of all record holding Top Fuel and Funny Cars ran the Milodon aluminum Hemi. It was superior as it had a girlde that held the mains from moving around under power. If the block twisted it would pinch the bearing and throw the crank out.
This image is of the last Milodon Hemi engine as it was assembled in 1984. This engine is displayed today at the Sema and PRI Shows and is a crowd stopper. 1984 was the end of an era in that after this all the engines changed to dual spark plugs, dual mags and exotic fuel pumps.
This engine has a Milodon 7 liter block, Milodon Stage II heads, Magnesium Valve Covers, Gear Drive, Fuel Shut Off Valve, Oil Pump and Oil Pan.
These Hemis were used in Top Fuel, Funny Car, Tractor Pullers, Drag Boats and yes even an airplane. After
10,000 hours of testing the FAA would not certify it for use as it was "too powerful for the airframe". But that was the idea !!!
