People get chills when someone says "Hemi". When you hear one run down the track, the sound is like no other engine. American made at it's best. In this case there is no replacement for displacement.
I still watch this video over and over. I remember flipping through my Mopar muscle magazines at the indy heads ad in them. I would say to myself that one day, I want one of their Hemi's for my car. This is still true to this day after all these years. I will make it happen. Love the video still to this day!!!
I actually had the opportunity to get a ride in an original LO23 Hemi Dart along with a BO29 Hemi Cuda All I gotta say is damn, that was an experience!!!!

That was a nice brief history of *half* of the HEMI story. The first HEMIs were put in cars for the 1951 model year, and the line eventually included displacements from 231 to 365 cubes!
@@willemp6432 Good luck. You'll have thousands and thousands in machine shop work, and thousands and thousands in replacement parts. 426 Hemis have been the most pounded and tortured engines around, and scrapyards have been desperately picked through for elephant parts. 11,000 produced, raced like nothing else, 50+ years passed...
Get to know any Mopar guys in your area, get online and seek Mopar (and other) sites. Hit car shows and hob-knob with the muscle car guys, you might get a basket-engine lead.

@@gtsman6954 I'll check them out.

18:16 "this engine increases the value of any car it goes into" a very optimistic way of saying "this engine costs more than any engine you could possibly already have" lol
Would of loved to seen a test with a carb spacer on the dual plane manifold and also test it with a victor sr style intake. Maybe do a fuel injected build with a holley tuning package. Also throw a couple turbo's on it to get some real heat in that engine
Draglist is an awesome source to read all about 50's 60's 70's fuel cars. Pontiac,Ford,Chevy teams having to run Chryslers big block in their race cars. Some tried to hide the heads to make you think the engine is powered by the Car brand body style. lol Chryslers big block is the baddest hot rod engine ever. Todays top fuel cars are the fastest cars on the planet. Hemi Nito power baby. After Chrysler stopped building them guys like Keith Black took over going from iron to aluminum.Mopar sells them in their catalog. Direct Connection.
I love the original 426 Hemi it's always been my dream to have one in some way shape or form I just don't understand why it has to cost over 20,000 to have one
The rear main seal leak solution is real genius! So simple. Well done sir.
Now if he can stop SBC leaking that’d be awesome

This has to be the most impressive example of MoPar's Gen II HEMI in all its iconic glory! What a powerhouse!
The beast which led to real drag racing🤟
I've always been a big Chevy guy. But I love the Chrysler hemi engine especially this big 572!
Love those real hemi engines, my brother-in-law has two original hemi cars.

Can't get over how badass this motor is and that sound tho!

The 2nd Gen Chrysler Hemi is a masterpiece. Considered by many as the King of the V8's.
We did the wrap over on Chrysler 383 and 440 rear mains for yeas. We never had the financial means to own a Hemi of ANY type. One can dream though
always wanted a hemi, never could afford one. Lots of friends and family ran them.

Dom Toretto will certainly love this.
That "little" 1050 cfm carb limits this big hemi to 6200 rpm. An 1150 dominator would give 6600 rpm and 800+ hp. Easy.
Not with a dual plane intake
I could afford the cake though!

I'm confused as to why they don't break in engines? I thought that's what you always had to do
Break it in on the dyno
Breaking was mostly for the cams...these have a all roller cam like modern engines. Rings might take time to seat....
