Hemi'ish, more like an old Poly than anything.

How would a conventional Hemi head work with a Hemi 99 type chamber? I mean keep the opposing valves etc, just instead of a big chamber, fill it in like a 99. Wouldn't it give the advantage of being able to build quench and use lighter pistons?

Glad to see that Dave's old Barracuda finally got a buyer. He definitely made you a great deal on the car. Now if only someone somewhere wanted mine Dave is a buddy of mine and a great guy. Now loose those Barton covers as it is now an RWR hemi

you would have to tip both valve angles up to start with, it's a completely different animal

the fact is for the applications being discussed the heads shown are superior, this is evidenced in prostock...and it is not a hemi which i don't see as having any bearing

we'll call it a chrysler hemi cause most people wouldn't know the difference

I saw Dave's Barracuda for sale was surprised it hadn't sold quickly eventually couldn't resist and called him up. Was very helpful
Had the car over here for about 2weeks. Been tec'd and want to go out with it tomorrow but looks like thunderstorm coming . I too don't like the rocker covers, Thats the only thing that i want to change.
You cant be serious about selling your car

Dave has some very nice stuff for sure. He has had some issues with "Mopar" engine builders for sure but now that he is having Rick and the RWR crew doing his stuff he shoudl be making some good steam.

As for my heap, yep both of them are for sale. Looking to go a different direction so if you know any Aussi buddies looking

As long as we're getting into non-stock style cylinder heads, the Sonny's 5.300 next gen HEMI is the head I'd go with.

......and please, before anyone strats with the "chevy" B.S., be prepared to go to Yellow Bullet so I can school ya on why his head has more in common with a conventional HEMI than ANYTHING "chevy".
