I need schooling - old vs. new engines
Wait, is your issue with the G3 less that is is a late model motor and more that you thought they would have been better off if Mopar had done an LS like motor?
I've been reading your comments as if you were old-school and didn't like newer motors. But now I am wondering if I as mis-reading you and the issue is more you didn't like the direction they chose to go.
Im not posting anything else until the guy who said the G3 Hemi fixed the shortcomings of the wedge headed engine.
Thats bullshit. If you have one year porting heads and using a flow bench you would understand that flow is down the list of important ****.
The LS head is FAR better than the G3 Hemi. In fact, most decent wedge heads are.
Comparing engines or heads or whatever from different era‘s is difficult at best, but to make the wild *** claim that any Hemi head fixed the shortcomings of a wedge head is crazy talk. Like put the crack pipe down crazy talk.
As far as a few other things you’ve posted, I dont know why you can’t get something other than a new engine to cold start and idle. That makes no sense.
And, I would put a decently prepped W2 head up against a G3 NA Hemi all day long and whip it’s ***. And that head was developed in the mid 1970’s for 340 inches.
No matter how you slice it, ANY Hemi (NA) will lose to a wedge head for power, mileage, drivability and such things.
The Hemi guys (especially the G3 guys) get butt hurt when you call them on their delusions.
Of course, if you want to discuss power adders (with the exception of Nitrous) then the Hemi is a far better engine to start with. The wedge has serious issues with fuel volume and flame speed.
