I like the fact that you are trying to compare a wedge to a hemi

two diffrent motors

---

Two different motors, yes...but from the SAME
basic foundation or block dimensions.
HEMI - High rpm powerhouse.
WEDGE - Lower rpm torque monster.
Best battleground is between the 220ft and 1000ft marks (1/4 mi). A good lead margin there, you've won.

the blocks are not the same


if the wedge block was like the hemi block (4 )cross bolt mains


and they kept the max wedge port or even bigger / diffrent head (none hemi )


maybe the wedge would have been better than it is


if you where to compare the hemi to big block chevy it would be intresting

Let's unravel your statements here:

Block dimensions and BORE spacing is exactly the same. They are NOT built on the SAME block!!

They have THREE (3) cross-bolted main caps.

Maxie heads are fine up to 450 ci, maybe 470. 500
or more cubes, think about aftermarket and/or "fully ported" Maxies with bigger valves. Wedges have a WIDE selection of cylinder heads.

Chrysler Wedges are getting BETTER as each year passes.

Comparing a Big-Block Chevy to a HEMI? No comparision ( sorry chevy guys). HEMI can and will
rpm in places where "Rat Motors" will never go to.
Funny thing though, Ford's 427 SOHC motor could do
major strip damage to a Chevy Big Block also! 600+
horses "out-the-box"! After all, it IS a hemi (head type) motor!
