1 OF THE BEST YOU TUBE VIDEOS FOR A CAR ENTHUSIST! Hemis Have always been an American Icon. Thanks.

Absolutely Beautiful! Just watched all 2 hours worth while in my pinkie and doing the family’s ironing! Ha. Here in the UK, the American muscle cars are only seen on a Sunday and at car shows in the summer - what a shame! Petrol is $2 per litre here and all nearly all cars are the standard inline 4 cylinder 1.6-2 litre engines… We have a 06 Jeep Commander with the 5.7 Hemi - and we Love it! Converted to LPG with a Flowmaster exhaust and a sound to die for… in fact, all the older generation always turn heads and smile when we go past… you can tell they remember that time when owning a muscle engine was just like being on a date with the prom queen! Regular maintenance and with some love and care and these Hemi’s can hit 300k miles… EV cars? Hydrogen Cars? Over my dead body! A Hemi makes me feel alive and always brings a smile to my face! Thank you so much for this… the Best Hemi video I’ve seen!

I thoroughly enjoyed this history of the HEMI engines , very interesting , and a lot of great photos of the old mopar Nascar and drag cars . As an owner of an Australian in line Hemi 6 cylinder engine, it is interesting to learn of it's relationship with the ball stud Hemi .🙂

And the legend continues.

Chrysler striving to be cutting edge and different is why I love Chrysler. Richard Petty and Lee Iacocca wouldn’t steer us wrong.

Zero mention of Big Daddy Don Garlits and his contributions to Dodge/Chrysler which he's still involved with to this day..

Battery Electric cars will never take over, too many downsides to overcome, they can definitely be a transport solution in certain applications. Why is there a not a mindset that both types of vehicles can co exist.

How come nobody ever explains what makes them better Or what makes a Hemi a Hemi The valves are rotated 180° placing them in perfect alignment with the intake and exhaust ports.

Great video at 9:50, it explains how Ford had use of the hemi as well and I love both versions of the hemi, Chrysler's and Ford's.

The most powerful engines in the world are hemi’s in top fuel cars they making 10k hp which is insane! And they all got hemispherical heads on them no matter the brand!

426 Max-Wedge was very fast and quick at the Drags. So were the 440’s stock. Street Hemi’s so so but the 426 Race Hemi was King !!! I had a 68’s Hemi Dart

👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 ...I needed this on the Monday...

Nicely researched and put together doc. I'm a new sub.

This is the era of great Dodge/Plymouth cars, I love the styling. Great work on the repairs Myles, keep the videos coming.

All these rule changes just to hamstring Chrysler for the sake of the others.... Hearing about it always boils my blood.

Really good video of the goat of all engines The awesome HEMI

Awesome documentary. Thank you very much for all this work.

Wow, dude! Excellent history! I had never heard of the indy roadster effort. Gonna have to finish the viddy in two viewings, it's very detailed. Excellent work!

i enjoyed every minute...hats off to you.thanks

Wow ! Though I was never a Chrysler fan BITD . I did have a friend that had a Super Bee before I went into the army in 68 . It ran VERY strong . Had NO idea that the hemi had this lineage ! Great video !! doc BG 68-71 RVN ...

Thanks this was a great run down

Lot of nice Hemi’s but there’s only the 426” Hemi. It’s King. Now these modern Hemi headed engines are incredible but for Classic Hemi it’s 426, period !!! They’re temperamental as heck but I raced a ‘68/426” Hemi Dart 4sp 😎

I have a pair of hemi with consecutive serial numbers. They were pulled out of my 42ft classic yacht when it was converted to diesel. Both are sitting on stands and run great. Eventually i will sell them for the right price.😊

The Gran Turismo 3 menu music sets the mood perfectly

No mention of the fact that the IMPERIAL was SEPARATED from CHRYSLER DIVISION and became It’s OWN MAKE/BRAND and DIVISION in 1955…meaning that, from THAT YEAR on, it became “The IMPERIAL”….and was no longer the “Chrysler Imperial.”

Awesome production!!!

If you wanted to play in AA/FD quarter mile in the mid '60s you were going to rum a 331, 354 or 392 Hemi sooner or later to be competitive if you started out running anything else. In the smoke run era the 331 and 354 would put it to the ground better sometimes but the 392 was usually preferred. The mains on the Dodge Red Ram Hemi were too narrow for Nitro and Desoto Hemis didn't last long.on Nitro. Chrysler New Yorkers, 300s and Imperials were the source. The ports on the 331s were biggest in volume but oddly enough the fast 331s seemed to run with 354 heads . . . I dunno, maybe velocity was right with the smaller ports, perhaps, like not getting exhaust valves too big,in diameter. They wouldn't have made them with less volume at Chrysler.for the 354 and 392 if there wasn't a realization to do with HP.. Team Skinner, Jobe and Sorokin aka "Surfers" probably had the best combo for the 1st generation with a low 7.5 to 1 compression 392 and 98 percent Nitro and 2 percent toluene for starting in damp cool coastal drag strips. Stock 34 degrees timing for the first generation. Nitro alone was a slower gradual but stronger detonation past top dead center. That consistently winning eam got nearly 400 runs out of that combo. The 426 never came alive for top fuel until they advanced the timing .to an insane 50 degrees and then they took top fuel over. The 1st generation wouldn't take that advancement in timing for long.and that would defeat the point of running 98 percent nitro. Don't know what fuel combo the 426 AA/FD guys ran to win as I was busy elsewhere other than drag racing by then. . .Those 1st gen longer exhaust valve rocker arms, btw, is what the AA/FD owners or teams would need to replace because they would break sooner or later under the stress once you multiplied the HP and used it. The teams with the limited budget like the "Surfers" still used the stock intake rocker assemblies but replaced those exhaust assemblies and their necessarily longer rocker arms that you mentioned with aftermarket rocker assemblies. . They also replaced the block's main bearing caps with 4140 billet caps to handle the Nitro Methane. Some guys would use lower end steel girdles but you really didn't need those so long as your fuel mixtures weren't detonating right up at Top Dead Center. You would need to replace those stock main caps though. You could use a stock forged crankshaft with no problems. You could've had the rods boxed with quality billet inserts and arc welded with nickel rod for the low cost top fuel rods. Balancing was a must.

If I ever buy a classic Chrysler, you’re darn right I’ll be keeping that authentic Chrysler starter. It sounds much more refined than most other starters, so that would be the last thing I’d ever want to change.

Awesome vid, thanks from a fan in Calgary, Canada. Cheeds.

Cunningham was putting Hemi's in his cars in 1950,before Chrysler.

Thank you for the info.

Don't forget about the new Jeep Grand Cherokee L with the 5.7 Hemi. I absolutely luv mine!

Absolutely a brilliant video on HEMI history.. great research and narrator... Keep up the great work..

Firedome firepower fireflight fire sweep....😮. .. the problem they had is the cars were just too heavy... But they did okay

People don't know that Pontiac also had a Micky Thompson Hemi a few of their race cars

Going to do a video of the Australian Chrysler Hemi inline six engines?

Excellent video!

ITS AMAZING HOW THE NEW DODGE HEMI ISNT EVEN A REAL HEMI..GOOD VIDEO THOUGH😊

This is an incredible video.The only HEMI he didn't talk about is the one from the DEMON 170.

The duel overhead roller cam hemi with all forged internals would make sense for the next revival. Maybe maybe someday

What a killer video…!!!!

What a great video. Hopes for this channel growing stronger. SUBSCRIBED!

Great video as per normal!

I wish nascar had not banned those ohc engines. They should have just lowered CID to slow things down. Much R&D/refinement was lost for 30 years. That technology is what made it possible to still make power and still satisfy the EPA and get efficiency. I know it came from the likes of Merlin and the GAA Ford in WWII. But refinement made it really work.

Great video!!!! 👍👍

Great video! Thank you for taking the time to produce this awesome history lesson! 👍🏼

Ive got a 454 that twice oil coolant line popped. first time it took out the cam and some lifters,dents on pistons the mains and everything else where still perfectly fine. Replaced everything and rehoned. years later happened again two lifters their rods and cam. Replaced just those parts. 7yrs its still running. So maybe it takes a little more time to wear the mains?

19:07 Funny how the "3 musketeers" consulted with Willy's (one of the main innovators of the jeep), then decades later, Chrysler owns Jeep. Some even have Hemis in them.

Like he said in the last few seconds in the video about the HEMI. G.O.A.T.

👍👏😊♥️🇺🇸 Thanks for posting this video

Thanks!

Thanks for making this video I enjoyed it very much. Sad to see the passing away of the HEMI . I have truly enjoy mine I ordered it back in 2019 and took delivery the last Friday in August 2019 , Octane Red, manual transmission Challenger. I hope to keep it a long time . My dad had a 1957 Chrysler New Yorker when I was young it had a HEMI in it , strong running car . I was disappointed when he replaced it with a 1963 Cadillac , way under powered compared to the Chrysler. Whats this world coming to? It's getting so hard to find cars with a manual transmission. I drove a couple of hundred miles last week to buy a car they no longer build with a manual transmission . I hope I'm never forced into driving an electric car.

A sign of a good product is how long it is in continuous production, SBC 1955 till now, THE BBC 1965 till now enough said

I love this channel

Did Christine have the 413..😊

You did a good job of adding more inaccurate information to the internet.

Great stuff as always!

@17:33 Beefcake!!! BEEFCAKE!!! -Cartman

My 54 New Yorker deluxe has a 331 my favorite 😍 hemi

If they could just build one that doesn't guzzle gas so much it would be perfect. Maybe add a two speed differential like a semi truck. Lol. Bad ass engine though.

Actually Peugeot and Alfa Romeo use hemispherical combustion chambers before Chrysler did.

Can anybody tell, why Chrysler is using that orange paint on there engine ? I like orange sooo much. I did learn sooo much about that brand and engine, never thought iI would. For example, that the the two Spark plugs fireing after each other. Or the eagle engine....wow Awesome Video !

426 hemi baby there's nothing can touch it.

Rich GT350R brought me Hair 🥝✔️

Whats the name of the TF dragster car at 1:05:18 ? The one blowing up.

Oh well,back to my Prius! ;) :D

HEMI is hard to beat. 'NUFF SAID?

You forgot the 361 and 350B but, otherwise....great video!

the research for this was in almost all cases restricted to america so when he says 1st or in the world he actually means in the states

Chrysler V16 had Individual cylinder heads? I thought it had individual cylnders (sleeve and barrel), but one-piece head.

The new HEMI’s are not hemi’s. It’s just a name only

XIV-2220 means eXperimental Inverted Vee, 2220 cubic inches. Not that Roman numeral stuff. 1:05:52 That's real racing there. The guy literally had to pick his crankshaft up off the ground. Classic picture. Without the Hemi, it's goodbye Chrysler.

This is a more detailed account of the fourth kingdom prophecy of 2 Baruch Ch 39.

Hear me bullshit they pulled the 427 SOhc off the trailer and it went 10 miles faster than a Hemi. Made load it up and take it home that’s what’s sad they didn’t want on track They want them have comphave any competition but when the 429 came along single overhead cam stomped that hemi ass

The world would appreciate it if Americans would refrain from refering to their backwater as the entire world. We're way beyond obsolete technology like hemispherical combustion chambers and live axles. Have been for decades.

UT did you see the story about the EV doing 1 million in fire damage to a house?

you missed jeep SRT 6.4l hemi and called it the jeep SRT Trackhawk its just Jeep Trackhawk and Jeep SRT. otherwise 10/10 great doc!

Why have you neglected to mention the 4 cylinder Hemis of the 1980s

Yeppp,it's a MOPAR WORLD,... schweeeett

You mention other hemi head engines, but don’t mention the other Chrysler Hemi motor. But disappointed. You mention the Ford and Porsche ones…. In it’s ultimate form, the Hemi 265 is a legendary motor in its own right. The best in class until the release of the Barra.

love the JEEP section GM made all the engines for the original Jeep then mopar got rights to the body still a gm 4 or 6 in any jeep

Harley Davidson not only beat Chrysler to the hemi head by about 20 years when they released their 1936 Knucklehead engine that was a true hemispherical head combustion chamber, which was followed by the Panhead and eventually the Shovelhead that lasted until 1984 with all 3 having virtually the same combustion chamber, but they also had the 1957 to 1985 Sportster which was also a true hemi, but their crowning achievement for the hemi was the mighty XR750 engine, the winningest motorcycle racing engine in history, from 1972 to 2008 it won 29 of 37 Grand National championships for the factory Harley Davidson racing team, the Wrecking Crew. Not only did Harley beat Chrysler to the hemi by almost 20 years but they beat them at improving it by almost 30 years when they released the 1984 Evolution engine with it's closed chamber and flat top piston making a squish and quench area, after that in 1999 they went to the Twin Cam engine that incorporated a bathtub combustion chamber before Chrysler released their latest generation hemi that also has a bathtub style chamber. Also there is no debate as to the fastest P47 and it wasn't the Chrysler V16 engine XP-47J or a regular P47 variant, instead it was another experimental P47 called the XP-47K and it's the reason the Army had Republic Aviation drop the XP-47J, the inverted Chrysler V16 engine was having development issues and since the XP-47K was already faster than the XP-47K and it used the already proven production Pratt&Whitney R2800 engine they canceled the XP-47J program, not only was the XP-47K faster but it was also the fastest single piston engine propeller driven aircraft in the world all the way up to 1989 when a specially modified racing F6F Bearcat with a Wright R3350 engine called Rare Bear broke it's record by going 528 MPH, but what's so incredible about the XP-47K is not only that it set the record in the 1940's and held it for so long but also it used a stock production R2800 engine and not a racing built engine like the Wright R3350, it was a production engine but the one in Rare Bear was modified and built for racing. You're wrong about the sleek nose liquid cooled V engine planes being faster than the radial engine planes, the P47 Thunderbolt was faster than the P51, you make the same mistake everyone else does when visually accessing the aerodynamics of the two basic designs, you only look at the nose, on the P51 follow the bottom edge back and sticking down right underneath the pilot you'll see something that the P47 doesn't have, a great big radiator scoop sticking down, physics 101, there's mo free lunch, a radial engine may have all those cylinders sticking into the air but even with a liquid cooled V engine you still have to get rid of the heat, and a 1,760 cubic inch engine takes a considerable amount of air flowing through a radiator to get rid of that heat, that's where it's price is paid getting rid of it, on planes like the ME109 and the Spitfire they create an even bigger problem doing it, thry have their radiators in the wings with the scoops sticking out of the bottom not only creating drag but also canceling the lift that would normally be generated by that section of each wing, the designer of the P51 put it at the bottom of the fuselage which generates minimal lift anyway, but it's still a big scoop creating a lot of drag that a radial engine doesn't need, a few years back i saw the drag numbers of the P51 and the P47 from a NACA study done on them and i wss shocked at how close they were, after thinking about it i realized that the P51 has that big scoop sticking out of the bottom and that it was penalizing it to the point where it's drag coefficient was close to the P47's, the XP-47K being a form of P47 which was already faster than the P51 had a sheet metal spinner on it's prop and the sheet metal on the front of the engine cowling curled around the fronts of the cylinders to where it almost met up with the back edge of the prop spinner leaving a round slot air went in to hit the cylinders along with a fan mounted to the prop shaft that sucked air in through the slot blowing it on the engine, a lot like the FW190, between improving the aerodynamics of the front and lightening up the XP-47K is what took a plane that was already faster than the P51 to the fastest plane in the world for over 60 years, go to Wikipedia's page on the P47 and click on variant's, then click on "Razorbacks", scroll almost all the way to the bottom and you can see both the XP-47J and the XP-47K and read a little about them. One other thing you're wrong about is the turbo on the XP-47J, well kinda wrong, the engine's of all P47's along with every other aircraft engine ub WW2 all had mechanically driven centrifugal superchargers on them, that's what the engine actually throttles off of, but most US Army aircraft in WW2 including the P38, P47, B17, B24, B29 and a few others had a turbo to compound the engine's supercharger for higher altitudes, starting at medium altitude when the engine's supercharger could no longer make max boost waste gate valve's that normally dumped the exhaust right out of them when open started to close diverting exhaust to the turbo to drive it to keep the inlet pressure at the supercharger the same as at low altitude, the higher you went the more the valve's closed driving the turbo faster, that was a superior system to others that typically had 2 stage superchargers, at medium altitude they would engage the 2nd blower stage but since it's mechanically driven it drug about 250 additional HP off the motor driving it, but the supercharger/turbo configuration that the Army preferred using a turbo as it's 2nd stage that's a waste energy recovery system didn't cause a 250 HP loss at higher altitudes, that's why they typically had higher service ceilings and higher speed at high altitude than the comparable aircraft from other countries and even the US Navy that for their own reasons didn't want the turbo compounded system but instead wanted the 2 stage superchargers on their aircraft. One other thing, Chrysler along with every other car manufacturer in the world knew about hemi engine's long before WW2, a company called Hall--Scott Rail Car Engine Manufacturers built very powerful and successful hemi's as early as 1909, these were true hemi engine's and not something that kinda sorta resembled them and were very powerful at the time, and several years later the main engineer there was ask to work with the Army developing the Liberty aircraft engine, that was the birth of hemi head aircraft engine's in America, what really kept vehicle manufacturers from making not only hemi's but really any kind of OHV engine and had them concentrating on flathead engine's was the crappy low octane fuel that was the only thing available to motorists before WW2, since you couldn't tune a hemi to ryn to it's potential with low octane fuel you might as well make cheaper flatheads and put them in cars, American car manufacturers wanted to sell a car to everyone in America unlike in Europe where those manufacturers concentrated on making cars for only the wealthiest of people, so why drive up the price of a car with an expensive to manufacture hemi engine when at the end of the day it won't make much more power than the less expensive and more reliable flathead engine, but after WW2 when high octane gas started being sold to the public at all the service stations is when the vehicle manufacturers started pushing the development of OHV engine's that could be tuned to to make their potential power on the higher octane fuels.

No wonder everyone is crazy. What is the sense.

That means is a Chevy 350.

Hope they don't bring back the 2.2 K cars.

in short the best engin cant be produced or it would cost you a 4 bed family home

Yes, the Hemi has history. However from day1 all the way to the current HellCat there is zero canyon carving with these car. A 150hp Honda civic will completely destroy a Redeye or hellcat on just about any road course. At 2.5 tons you cant wish for much trail breaking or late breaking into an apex and expect to get it. We have all seen sub 1900 pound civics with 700hp. The weight deficit of 2.5 tons just can't be over come unless your willing to cut your car in half.

Dodge brothers designed the hemi ,

Pontiac experimented with the domed piston head yes, but to call that 4 banger HEMIs history? You must be a generic motor company lover. 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂

What up with the cartoon.

What’s the big deal about the “Hemi” “Jaguar” has been using this configuration way before “Chrysler” and yet you guys keep pushing it as though it’s some new found technology, which it’s not.

It’s NOT POUND FEET ITS FOOT POUND.

If you own one, I guarantee there are two things you WILL fix at some point: broken exhaust manifold studs and lifter ticking noise and eventually failure if not addressed. *I'm not picking on anyone, every engine has it's problem set

Tell them don't go there with that super b shi*

Laz bem..

gen 3 is hemi in name only.... that chamber so flat....

Cammer the elephant killer. (Hemi)

You forgot the Chrysler Australia hemi 6. So this is not a complete Chrysler hemi story.

Probably the most overrated engine from Chrysler. The 440 wedge had more low end torque and would outrun a hemi every time.

Too bad Chrysler (Nascar) deleted the competition by totally destroying the SOHC ..scaredy cats..power and control...i say this and i am NOT a ford guy
