How many hemi DRIVERS are there on the H.A.M.B.

Well, there's a lot of us that have a hemi or two in one state or the other ( have too many to count and, quite frankly, I don't have the time to go out and dig through the pile to find out how many I do, actually, own. I'm sure there are a lot of other folks who have a few stashed away but.........., how many HAMBers are actually DRIVING hemi powered cars?

I've been driving this one for 40+ years. Let's see the others.

 

Been on the street with the coupe about four years now. Had an unrebuilt industrial for the first few months. Then did an "economy" rebuild. Wish I had waited till I had the $$$ to do it right. Oh well.

Not afraid to take trips but haven't been on to many long ones. Not because of the engine. She runs out fine. The seat I just replaced was the reason for few long trips. It was a torture device! Just changed it so I'm ready for the road now! Day of the Drags a couple of years ago was the longest at 9 hours+.

Gotta say, as I was getting into the hemi thing, Skip was pretty much my sole source of hemi wisdom. When he talks, listen.

 

I have 3 hemi drivers, but admittedly don't get the 3rd one out very much anymore - but I'm trying to rectify that. Soon I plan on making that four.

I plan on using the '47 to tow the "new" hemi ride with - It's been a long time coming.

 

My '56 F-100 will be ready sometime this summer.....354/4 speed....

 

this one has been on the road for about 8 or 9 years.

so who's going to be the first person to post a pic of their "hemi" magnum,300c, or ram pickup d.d.?

 

I have a 354 in my chopped 40 merc coupe, and it gets used as much as possible.Picture on my thread, chopped canadian 40 meerc coupe

 

Just one and a few on the shelf

 

Here's mine.

Been on the road since 91. 241 Red Ram

 

i kno this is an old thread, let's see how many more now, i will start with my 30 roadster 331(soon to be 10 c/r isky 354) dragster 8x2, actualy it is Desoto and his car that i seen at a canadian car show many years ago that is reponsible for getting me interested in this, before i was mainly into muscle cars.

 

i'll play along for the new hemi owner on the board.

had this on the road for around 8 years now. 291 firedome

 

I recognize your car from years ago-magazines-Canadian streetrod nationals? Your car influenced me. You have to look at my album to see.Is your name Skip?

 

I have had mine in my 41 Ford Tudor Special Deluxe since 1962. The hemi is 1953 Chrysler long bell-housing with an Offenhauser adapter to a 39 Ford trans filled with mostly 62 Ford pickup gears. The rear end is still the original.

 

Only drove it once after I bought it needed fixing bad hope to drive it next summer.

 

I bought a Tee shirt off the originator of the forum (Desoto) at Louisville.

Here's mine.

My friend and I just got our Hemi powered A's on the road this year. Mine is on the left.

 

Been driving a 354 powered car for the last 7 years.

 

This is mine. 354 Industrial with 3 97's

 

Let me try this again. My Feuce with 354 Industrial and 3 97's Smooth and sweet!

 

I have had this one since the late '90s, rebuilding things slowly, but always keeping it as a driver.



new rebuild 392 in '06-'07. ...holding on to the old 392 for my next project.

 

Nice coupes! Just curious... is that a Hemi grind cam you used for a Spreader Bar?

 

Has a 1956 DeSoto 330

 

331 backed with a Chryser 4 speed. It runs pretty good.

 

32 roadster with 241 Hemi

 

Wouldn't want to waste a good Hemi cam core. Used a Ford cam I had laying around.Was good until I cut it to fit.

 

Pretty much all I've ever had! I recently bought back my first one (after 42 yrs). Story is in Mopar Muscle (July 12) and will be a feature article there in Feb 13, 2013 (comes out in late Nov 12). It's a 69 hemi Road Runner I ordered, street raced and then drag raced as a B/MP. Back on road now with me - after all the yrs. Was feature car at Woodward Dream Cruise and Mopar Nationals and will be a Bruce Larson's event on Nov. 10 in Harrisburg, PA. Also drove an A/fueler and built/ran a 34 AA/FC - looking for that one now. Along the way, had a 64 hemi Savoy (original - sold it - mistake!), and a 68 Hemi SS/A Barracuda (also original and, another mistake).

 

I've had mine on the road about a year now.
