what would you rather gawk at under then hood with a hemi (what looks better / meaner lookin, some thing like this )

A) a 57 392 Hemi



B) a 6.1liter Hemi



C) a 426 Hemi






D) or a 5.7 liter Hemi

 

I would say 426. My Dad's Cuda had a 426. He told me back in the days, he used to spin the tires right off the rims.

I would love something like a challenger with the 426 Hemi Engine & a 4spd

 

Heh. I'd have to vote for the 426, too.

My first brand new car, picked up on January 6, 1969, was a Seafoam Green 1969 Plymouth
Barracuda coupe with a 426.



I think the A/C on that thing had more displacement than the engine in my xB. :D

 

oh snap

you can still see those old R-12 compressors in the junk yards too

 

hemis rock . hell i'd be happy with just a weak 318 or a 260 . lol. let a lone a monster like the 426 . muahahahaha

 

ooops forgot the 528 hemi

That's just a 426 on steroids, though, not a totally different branch of the evolutionary tree...

There was even a 519 variant.

(And then there were the old FireDome Hemi's - the 276, the 291, the 301 and the 330 from
the '50's - A neighbor had one of the 1953 DeSoto FireDome 276 Hemi's and that thing was
fierce for it's day! It would flat suck the headlights out that day's Fords and Chevy's - heck
Chevy's biggest was still the 235 six!)

 

318's weren't that weak...with a cam, a 4b carb, and dual exhaust, my 72 dodge charger 318 would run a low 14 in the quarter. After the heads were ported, the headers were on, and better tires, it was doing low to mid 13's

In answer to the question....I'll take the 71 hemi cuda in the pic, painted Green-Go, with the 426 shaker....I guess the shaker part is unnecessary since all 70-71 426 cudas came stock with the shaker

If that one were unavailable, the 69 charger daytona in the background woudl suffice nicely. Lol, can you tell I'm a mopar nut????

 

dodge had the smallest hemi of 'em all with the 241 baby hemi

 

Plymouth/dodge made smaller hemi's than that. back in the late 90's early 90's, there was a 2.2L hemi available in the k cars. Not sure what the actual CID was, but my jeep 4.0 L is 242, so it stands to reason the 2.2 liter is a little more than half of that

 

with the 392 hemi those things were like a dime a doz. back in the day with drag racing!!! just pop on a super charger and you can get around 1200hp at 2300rpms i think with the stock bottom end chrysler sure did know how to make hemis

btw cast iron block(around 500 lbs) and heads(75 pounds per head) heavy heavy heavy!!! and put together it was around 700 lbs all together and my dad got 3 of those engines all in piece's sitting in the garage!!! two from a 300 and one from a new yorker and all 1957 blocks/cars too

 

Being that I own a Hemi Ram I like the 5.7 but the 6.1 would be even better. We had many 68-69 Chargers with 383 and 440's But with modern technology the 5.7 has more HP and better gas mileage and of course is more reliable. My husband wants a 6.1 Hemi in a 69 Charger R/T and I want it in a BOX!!

 

ill take the 426 any day!! I'll take that cuda any day!!!!

awesome link about the *huge* horsepower potential of the 426 hemi

 

Id take that Cuda with the new 6.1 Hemi.

 

gimmie the looks of the classic hemi with the modern tech of todays world i still want it with a dist and a demon carb!!!

 

dayum near 600 hp just by swaping out the bump stick and carb and intake wow npw thats a built motor!

 

^^ just imaine what that would be with better heads, dual 4's or possibly fuel inj!!

 

or duel TBI, keep the better heads i just want the big vavle covers

BRING BACK THOSE VAVLE COVERS!!!
