Re: Hemi info for display

["MO ( Steve Mick)" <micher@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Rich,  there is a lot of information on the internet concerning the Hemi 
heads and their desighn. I don't know how much info you want to present, but 
I will breifly tell you what I think I know.  The hemispherical combustion 
chamber (Hemi head)  has been around for quite some time- before WWII. 
Chryslers use for them was in production autlos since the early 50's.  The 
purpose was higher performance without high gas consumption.  The racing 
crowd soon realized  the benifit of this desighn to acheive very high 
horespower. ie: alcohol and fuel dragsters The early Hemis heads were 
installed on basic  engines that used  conventional heads.  The high cost of 
production and the advances in wedge head desighn in big blocks led to the 
end of automobile Hemi  engines in 1958.  In 1964, Mopar released in limited 
numbers, A new Hemi head  engine that was aimed directly at racing 
applications.  Those Hemi heads were dominate in those years, and the rest 
is history.................................MO
