225 Hemi head
wanna see another wild hemi project,, on ly 3 exsist if i remember correctly and only 1 runs,, i seen it at chrysler at carlisle in the old tom hooovers mover notch cuda at that time currrently owned by dick landy 2008 its called the ball stud hemi,,, chrysler ran out of money to do further testing,,, but i like the slant 6 hemi fake or not,,
not sure I completely understand this version of the Hemi. I know it was done or well was going to be, for cost of manufacture, BUT wasn't, not sure why, BUT the real deal is just that. A legend these days and will continue to be, BUT why? I really mean WHY? you know? It was pretty much untouchable for its time, why make a "different" version of the V-8 when the original was so great to start with? All due to money?
SO being said that, WHY did Aussie (no offense guys) get Hemi-6's and not us in the USA? IF the design for its time was so good, WHY didn't they mass produce them everywhere? Some law restrict it? Can't say I understand that due to the much larger beast we all love and would cherish if we had one.....
THEN, if you had a 225 and a 245 block what was the difference between the heads in so as much to have a 225 head, "Hemi" milled? They were doing it by the head "placement" in the shops at Mopar anyway, so. mill out a 225 head to be Hemispherical.... BUT this also says something, I to date have never seen the underside or piston side of a normal /6 head, OR the Hemi version to see if that machine work is even possible!
BUT, with the bore, stroke, and the distance from one cylinder to the next, I'm not sure if I'm looking at this correctly. I know the whole rod connection from the cam, or through-ways might be an issue due to the angle they are in the Hemi head.. BUT the OHC would cure that issue, wouldn't it?
Bears the question, what (if this would work) what sort of Horsepower and torque might something like that, have? I mean the |6's are known for their torque ratings, what might a Hemi version be like?
Then you got those that are purists......The Hemi |6 is a "U" head flow......The Hemi purists would have it be a cross flow, how would that fit in a car from a \6? And even if either was good....... what sort of difference would the "U" flow to the cross flow have on any one single engine CID?
Even say it was possible. BUT, limited space for a \6 Hemi 225 or so....Whats to say you reverse the flow? Mostly, you have the head, flowing on a in-line 6 cylinder from the left side.....(that's is, setting in the drivers seat) WHY, suppose to have this cross flow. OK? You got the manifold/header on the left side, and the intake from the right side, reverse this, put the exhaust on the right, (you can ALWAYS make pipes fit a bit better even if factory Mopar manifolds were used....SO, this would open up the point of intake, to get a "Ram Induction" set up, if more power was seeked out, and would allow a bit more room for aftermarket parts for even higher HP ratings, and torque as well......
The engine would still fire the same, just being fed from a different side, to exhaust from a different side... I'm not sure a space issue was the issue along with the cam issue as that can be remedied by an OHC system. be a good power point as this motor type I bet would produce V-8 HP on In-Line 6 gas mileage.....
