You can hemi a poly if you use the heads from a DeSoto hemi not the other two but it's a good vid the poly was originally made by Plymouth using the DeSoto hemi a block and is also the basis of the LA engine or light a block.that with later revisions became the magnum
I have been called jumber than a box of hammer heads. Long time ford lover and owned quite a few of those cars you only dream of owning. I am near seventy five and your explanation is just too easy for anyone to not get right. This information shared here put me on a whole different thought process. Other car companies copied the same idea but your right, a hemi was the engine we did love and because of prices, availability, and difficulty to install one of those plus using their transmission was usually a fail for the guys/me to install and make live. I did start pulling wrenches for my dad before I was old enough to argue. The motor pool was another shot at mechanicing. One thing for sure was if you were a good mechanic, your family never went hungry. Like all good mechanics, we traded our bed for a lantern as this old saying went. There just wasn't enough hours in a day to finish all the work. My wife grew tired of living alone... said she was leaving for someone who would take her dancing and show her some fun. I was a wet blanket and she knew even if I promised to work less and be at home nights... you can figure out the rest. She was the love of my life and so I never remarried as I too knew I was addicted to working on anything that made smoke, as in diesel and gas.... or combinations of same said. Many diesels started on gas and then they flip a lever and it ran on diesel. International did this in the dozers and other equipment. They are not the only companies that tried this. Long before a glow plug or other devices to help start a diesel engine.

Did a nice job on the video!
That’s a really quick and great video. Thank you for the Hemi engine history.
