!!!WOW!!!

Good thing he's got "GM" hemispherical heads on that thing. Imagine if he didn't......it might struggle to make 1000....without those "GM" hemispherical heads!!! Obviously a "GM" shortblock as well, no doubt.

What a farce.....anything to make a certain crowd happy I guess. Thing is, there are probably dolts out there that actually fall for it.




Yeah like "Ma Mopar" designed the hemispherical head.....not

They were originally designed and in use in the early 1900's

Rickster


Who said Ma Mopar did???

Reading comprehension problem??? You do know IT'S ADVERTISING........right???

There comes a time when NOTHING resembles ANYTHING.......this is one of those times. Capice???




No reading comprehension problems here....just call'm as I see'm which is pretty obvious here

Rickster


Cool.....

For a minute there I thought that you were saying, I thought that Ma Mopar invented the HEMI design.

Sometimes not so obvious.

That engine is coming to the northwest and going in this car.




Is that going in a Tamez car?





Nope, Owner and driver is Craig Olson. Defending Top Sportsman champ up here in D6. The Tamez crew runs some big stuff, but not this big.



FWIW the car already runs 6.70-6.80. Supposedly he ordered a new car to handle this beast.




Buy a 100,000 dollar motor then have enough $$$ left to build a car around it. Hmmm. Things must be fine in the great Northwest!
Kind of don't get the T/S thing. It's basically high stakes bracket racing. All you have to do is be one of the quickest 16 entered and going faster doesn't really create any advantage. Seems to me like 6.70-6.80 will get him into any field. That is a beautiful car.

I'm not sure but no other car manufacturer may have designed it either. But Chrysler was the first American company that I know of to design and build its own Hemi. And then later on successfully mass produce and race it.

According to this site these are pictures of an engine that represents the first ever Hemi from 1901. Invented by an American and was placed into a car that he and his brother built. So Chrysler wasn't the first American company to design and build its own Hemi afterall.

The word Hemi will start an argueent every time. They have no problem giving Chevy credit for the canted valve head though.

Oh you mean the semi-hemi? Didn't Chrysler have its own semi-hemi design at least 10 years in advance of the Chevy design? Called it the poly something.
