Can you Hemi...? Can you Hemi NOW?

[70_Fastback]

Picked another Hemi this weekend. A good running '54 imperial 331 Hemi. Needs a little cosmetic work ( clean/paint) and some new plug wires now. I spent yesterday making engine cradles for both Hemi's so I can store them and have them mobile as well.

We have a Hemi in our 07 Magnum wagon and it is just stupid fast. No one needs that much power to go get the kids and Pizza. What were they thinking ?

We have a Hemi my wifes jeep. It's a beast. We Bought it for towing power. But its not nearly as cool as those vintage ones.

We have one in the new Durango and I am plenty impressed!

Hmmmm...maybe a hemi powered mustang?

Those old Hemi's run a 7.0:1 compression ratio, no? I wonder what sort of horsepower they were able to put out.

 

[70_Fastback]

I'm not sure of base specs, but being low compression, they couldn't be much on the HP side. But to up the compression is big $$$... just for pistons.

Like I said though, the '55 is running as is and ready to go except on the cosmetic side. So I will probably fire it again on a test stand and thoroughly check it out and make a final decision

It's going to look good in the model A though.

Course some of Fords most popular engines are not listed (Boss 429 and SHOC). The Hemi with it's special head design is a Monster.
