During the last few years, the talk of new Hemi engines has typically referred to the third-generation units used in Chrysler's late-model products, such as Charger, 300C, and Ram. With the advent of stand-alone controller...

With the 331 Chrysler Hemi receiving the go-ahead from Speed-O-Motive last month, it was back in my hands to start assembling the rotating assembly, heads, and valvetrain.

Some engines get all the glory. You know, those legendary powerplants that you can't wait to brag about. "Yep, she's got a 427..." or how about, "I'm running the hi-po 351..." or, "Sure is nice, came...

Without a doubt, one of the most impressive-looking engines of all time would arguably be the Chrysler Hemi. The Hemi was around for 13 years before all these muscle car guys came in and stole the Fire Power's thunder.

In a world where technology has brought us overhead cams, veritable cam timing, high-powered, small-inch, "efficient" engines, factory offerings with over 10:1 compression made to run on pump fuel, and a whole slew of other titillating innovations, it's nice to see that cubic inches are still the w

The quest for a big street-friendly torque curve continues. In the March 2004 edition of PHR we were on the chassis dyno tuning the new Edelbrock AVS carb. The results from that test were satisfying with a peak of 452hp and 492 ft.-lbs. of torque, but we really wanted to try out some new parts to se

To those interested in power output, nothing has the attraction of a supercharger. Forcing atmosphere into an engine makes it take a charge out of proportion to its displacement, and with that, produce power out of proportion to its size. There are many types of supercharger systems used in automoti

Mopar's big-block "wedge" engine certainly never enjoyed the spotlight that surrounds its close cousin, the Hemi. The wedge may not have the glamour factor of those broad valve covers, but it delivered the kind of power that fueled the mystique of the performance car era. Introduced in 1958, the Chr

To paraphrase an oft-repeated line in one of our favorite Westerns, there are two kinds of street rod engines in the world, my friend-those with blowers, and who cares what the others are. Here are some quick and easy tips to use for building a supercharged engine, only in Street Rodder Magazine

Chrysler's new line of Hemi engines is a worthy successor to the legendary status of the Hemi of yore. Not convinced? If the stock performance of the new powerplant isn't enough to get your attention, get the wrenches out and you'll find the Mother Lode of easy power. We did, and judging by the numb

Tension is rising as the Big-Block Shootout continues to shape up. The 454 is done, and now it's time to get the 440 Mopar together. We're sure the Chrysler faithful will be very interested as to how we teamed up the parts, and working with Dick Landy and Summ

Displacement is nice. It's a classic saying in the performance world that there is no substitute for cubic inches, and it's for good reason. Opening up to a larger displacement has a direct benefit in torque production, right from the bottom of the power curve. We like that, but the potential for ho
