Sorry but wrong. no points for you.  The legendary HEMI (short for hemispherical combustion chamber) was a Chrylser motor and a proper 426cubic inch HEMI is a rare and sought after thing. When first put into a road car in '66 (could be wrong on the year) the figures published by chrysler were 475bhp. This though already high was a deliberate false publication for legel reasons (not sure what they were). the true power output for one of these was closer to 515bhp. far more than anything else available at the time and more than most things now. If anyones interested I'll see what info I can find. |
ahh sorry i thought the chrylser engine started the whole thing off. them more caught on normally running a slighty smaller size
Aye if you can dig some more up on it id be interested
