From an interview with Chip it looks to have a 426 Hemi with a Pantera Trans Axle. Cool!

design before....

Big Daddy Roth's rear engine "Road Agent."

WOAH it's gonna be a kit!

more pics
I WANT ONE!!!!

SEMA may have been overrun with sport compacts and speaker boxes years ago, but the hot rod still rules and the Foose Hemisfear found at the DaimlerChrysler display is one of the best we've seen this trip. It's a car that's captivating from every angle. From the exposed carbon fiber to the glass-top roof to the completely exposed steering and braking hardware that's polished brighter than your grandma's Sunday silver, the Hemisfear will not let you break eye-contact until you've inspected every inch of it. Eventually you'll find your way to the rear where Chrysler's new HEMI 392 crate motor resides amidship under the aforementioned glass top roof. The engine itself is a work of art, though its 500 horsepower and 472 ft-lbs. of torque are meant for more than just display. What's unusual about the Hemisfear compared to most of the other cars at SEMA is that you can actually buy it. It will be sold as unfinished kit from Gaffoglio Family Metalcrafters. In fact, this particular one is under private ownership.

When they say sold as an unfinished kit, do they mean THIS CAR is unfinished or that they will sell kits to build cars like this?

And I must say, that rear end is a masterpeice:

Yeah, the green one is production # 2, but was the first one they unveiled on tuesday, in the Mother's booth in the Central Hall. I've got (probably crappy) video of the whole unveiling. The black car was in the Mopar booth, and was production #1. The green one has an all red tail light section, where this one has a clear lens and some orange pieces to match the interior. Very cool! I even got a little die-cast of the green one for being there, but didn't get Chips autograph on it, I was just a little too far back in line, and he had to get to another appointment.
