Either way they were moving on the excesses of post WW2 economics. They still could have selected one series of hemi engine to produce for all 3...
With both engine designs running 90 plus octane gasoline the wedge engines probably ran just as well in a day to day car. That worked out great...
I would like to see the cost sheet for a Max - Wedge versus a 392 . Either way they could have kept the engine as an option for high - end...
He was saying that the leaking exhaust studs were missed during the testing. And unless the heads get to 160 degrees they probably don't leak (...
" There is no " I " in " Team " , but there is in " Fish " . A speech by an exec. at a company function inspired my compromised co worker to blurt...
I seem to remember the machinist telling us to use washers on top of the rockers if we were using bolts . And to also to take down the dowl...
Once both heads are on good and tight there won't be any problems . No head or block leak just some undocumented milling on a block is my guess.
I was always told that Chrysler didn't " broach " any heads or blocks on this engine series , but I don't know that as fact. Passenger car heads...
Might want to make sure those dowel pins aren't too tall . It's odd that the head gasket didn't seem to bond like the other side.
Super-human Don Garlits !!! I hope to see his museum one day , with him there would be incredible. He was in a very interesting position in the...
I'm not seeing a mechanical fan so I'm guessing the electric fan is on while you are getting this figured out ? I am not sure of the function of...
Ouch ... a glove to the face for us early hemi guys. Honestly that engine looks fantastic and maybe not that far off in money spent from an iron...
What is the brass fitting in the intake manifold for ? I believe the stock location for the temp sender is in the rear of the water crossover...

Hell yes , run what you brung fuel !!! What I'm seeing lately needs to run at NHRA big league money with the funny cars man. The 392 had farmers...
Man I wish ( have to work ). In the next life I'll finish my ride enough to make the trek . The boss takes us out fishing for tuna in June so I...
I like the early engine version of this ride . I can watch the commercialized version of this engine anytime , latest and greatest multi - million...
Don Garlits and Keith Black both insist that their engines ( early FirePower )ran small ( not stroked ). I find that hard to believe but I also...
There is no doubt that any of our fathers were " superhuman " in some way , pretty neat stories in this thread. My dad was a Mercedes - Benz...
Much appreciated. I came across this a bit earlier , he might be a member here , lol. [MEDIA]
Is there a thread for current early hemi resources ? I did mine back in 1990 and I have managed to keep up with some parts sources but I'm sure I...
Thanks . Northern Virginia actually.
