Truly, a little cold logic as regards bore spacing etc. should call this artwork out, and the time spent had to be tidy for a photo-op. Nowhere is there a story to go with it, such as how & why,.....curious no??? Lol.....

The story is on slantsix.org.
I have a Chrysler 331 Hemi. Ed Thompson (805MoparKid) and I talked back and forth on the phone for hours one night with me measuring everything on the heads before I assembled the engine and him comparing those measurements to a 225 block. It won't work. The bore spacing isn't even close. The head bolt holes though I remember were fairly close, but nothing else would line up. Nothing. It won't work. Period.
Without having to search, got thread title or a link to it??

I would have to also search, so I'll defer.
But the story goes, that it started out as a gen 3 HEMI head that was sectioned and then epoxied back together. Intakes and exhaust were built and everything was assembled. The engine was started and it ran until the epoxy failed. Then nothing was heard of again, and the picture is now famous.

It's total bullshit. Like the Loch Ness Monster and Bigfoot. If it was like you say, they'd found a better way, welded the head pieces together and we'd have videos of the thing runnin. We don't.

That was the next step, but like I said the thread died.
I have to question the mental integrity of anyone willing to do that in that manner. That's a lot of work just to epoxy it and give it a fling, and just run it 'til it fails, which One would have to know was going to happen. Gee, try to weld that mess together after contaminating the sections with epoxy, coolant, and oil,where could that go wrong?!?!?!? LOL!! It would also need a one-off camshaft, rocker shafts, and a lot of grinding/filling on the block.........I still say photo op............
Exactly. That's all it was about. They could have duct taped it together to achieve what they wanted.
