Hemi. The word alone evokes images of ultra-high-performance street
cars and dominating race cars. No other engine has earned as much
street credibility and race success. This engine resides at the
pinnacle of American V-8 performance, and cars that carry a Hemi
are some of the rarest, most expensive, and legendary muscle cars
ever made. When Chrysler threw the wraps off the 426 in 1964, it
made history. In the 1964 Daytona 500, the new Hemi-powered stock
cars finished 1-2-3-4, announcing Chrysler's new era of dominance
in racing. Fast forward to today: recently an immaculate 1970
Plymouth Hemi 'Cuda convertible sold for $2.16 million at a 2006
Barrett Jackson collector car auction. The factory Hemi cars have
become legendary, easily eclipsing all other muscle cars in
performance and value. How to Build Max-Performance Hemi Engines
details how to extract even more horsepower out of these incredible
engines. All the block options from street versus race, new versus
old, and iron versus aluminum are presented. Full detailed coverage
on the reciprocating assembly is also included. Heads play an
essential role in flowing fuel and producing maximum horsepower,
and therefore receive special treatment. Author Richard Nedbal
explores major head types, rocker-arm systems, head machining and
prep, valves, springs, seats, porting quench control, and much
more. All camshaft considerations are discussed as well, so you can
select the best specification for your engine build. Induction
options including EFI, aftermarket ignitions systems,
high-performance oiling systems, and cooling systems are also
covered. The book also examines in detail how to install and set up
power adders such as nitrous oxide, superchargers, and
turbochargers.
