Chysler Hemi; A disaster?

Gee, I guess that's bad news to all the Hemi's out there that are putting out 7,000 horsepower.

Somebody better tell them they can't be modified :)

My 98 GT puts out 10,000HP. I win.

Horse hockey. You can't "predict" how many miles in 15 years an engine will last when it's been out for 2 or 3 years.

What do you want to bet that if they handed the potential buyer a card stating just that, but promised the standard warranty it wont make any difference.

my freakin 82 Escort was a Hemi... I never was impressed once I figgered out engine metrics

That "Hemi" is actually a Mercedes engine and they make very few car engines that last less than 200k miles.

Your Escort came with a Chrysler engine in it ?

Cite please....or shall we write this off as a troll?

But I don't think MB can claim all of that. I believe the major technical points involving the "Hemi" belong to Chrysler. This and the original slant 6 were two big reasons MB wanted to get their mitts on Chrysler.

..... "Horse Hockey" ...????

LMAO!

There were many auto makers utilizing a variation of the hemispherical combustion chamber design. Most modern multivalve engines use it. Chrysler was the first to use it as a marketing ploy.

FYI: The first two generations (1951-58,1964-71) of the Chrysler Hemi V-8 were genuinely ground- and record-breaking designs. Chrysler didn't invent the Hemi engine; there is documentation of the design dating back to 1903. In subsequent years a variety of names associated with high performance used the Hemi design, including Duesenberg, Stutz and Offenhauser. By 1971, its last year, the one major fault with the design had reared its ugly head -- exhaust emissions.

Rich,

Where did you read these lies?

Right! That's why PHR (been known to be a little GM biased) wrote this:

"We're avid Chevy fans and have owned many Chevy vehicles over the years, but this 5.7 Hemi has totally convinced us our next truck just has to be a Hemi-powered Dodge."

Horse Hockey. A phrase brought to fruition by Colonel Sherman T. Potter, MASH 4077.

Well, they were pretty much the first to use it at all I believe.

The 1913 Pathfinder was a Hemi. That might predate Chrysler's:) BTW: It was not a Nissan, it was built un Indiana by an aircraft company. Built 1912 to
