    Naming the 426 Hemi the Elephant was actually meant as an insult. When Chrysler developed it and pressured the race drivers to use it, they called it Elephant because "It just doesn't run". Don Garlits hated it because it didn't perform as well as the 392 and got fed up being pressured by Chrysler so he cranked in a whole bunch of timing figuring it would blow up and that would be the end of it, instead he broke 200 mph and the rest is history.

      Yeah, the 1960s Hemis sold in tiny numbers and had little effect on most people... plus Chargers were so heavy it needed a tank motor just to move it... problem was the domed pistons needed to match the domed chamber made the pistons so heavy it was hard to keep them on the rods at high RPMs... the 1950s hemis were designed for low RPMs breathing efficiency like WWII aircraft needed and Chrysler bragged of GOOD MPG!

    I just loved the 426 street Hemi. Working with my dad, and a friend who was an expert wrench-master at a Chrysler dealership, we built a "426 Hemi Q-ship." On the outside (unless you looked hard) it was a boxy, forest green Plymouth Valiant. But inside . . . it had a narrowed rear end, and up front the frame was strengthened in the same way as the 426 Road Runner. It was an absolute killer Friday night street racer. Guys would pull up next to it at a stoplight, and you could almost hear the sneer as they looked across at the Valiant in the other lane. Yup. Right up until the light changed. I was in High School, hot-rod crazy, and I knew I could rely on the "Q Ship." So, drop the hammer and off we'd go, and the only thing the guy with the sneer on his face saw was the tail lights. Man, I loved that car. One day, my dad came home without it. He was driving a Dodge Dart with a 360 - the bastard child of the super-strong small block, the 318. Turned out my mother, who used the Valiant often, wasn't crazy about the feel of raw horsepower, and by that time the fuel price war had been started by OPEC - a battle we're still in today. The Valiant was bought by the master mechanic who'd helped build it, and he took that Hemi and dropped it into a Road Runner, set up for drag racing. And he raced it for years, and it never blew up, rarely gave problems, and won more often than not. If I'd been a few years older with a better paying job, I could have bought one of the classic 426 models for myself - a "Kowalski" Challenger, or a bright orange Road Runner. But those got very expensive very quickly after Chrysler ended production of Hemi-equipped street cars. I still loved tinkering with engines, and after reading some articles, myself and a couple of friends built a "Clevor" - the marriage of the two different 350's made in Windsor, Ontario and Cleveland, OH. That was fun, but it lacked the sheer glamour of the Hemi. I know that engine is still out there, and I hope the current owner loves it as much as I did.

    0:56 Eating dust? Get your facts right.... The 426 Max Wedge was still a very capable race engine in 1963 and was still a force to be reckoned with. However the Max Wedge cylinder head was pretty much developed to the point of being "Max'd" out. With GM and Ford were starting to taking home some substantial wins which forced Chrysler to turn to R&D to find an answer, and they returned to the HEMI head design.

      The max wedge heads were good but the 392 hemis were still dominating the drag strip especially with blowers. It was a perfect match to put the hemi heads on the B/RB deep skirted block. 5 head bolts per cylinder and not having any coolant in the intake made it a perfect setup

    American V-8 car engines used the same basic design. Ford, GM and Mopar in almost all of their V-8s. But the Hemi was different because the intake valves were angled in a way to get better volumetric efficiency.
    The intake air, didn’t have to make another 90 degree angle turn to charge the cylinders with air. They did the same thing with the exhaust valves, which helped get rid of the exhaust gases more efficiently.
    Power is all about how well the engine can breathe to make more power.

This was perhaps the most famous derate in history. As for the 1964 Daytona 500, the HEMI took 7 of the top 10 spots at the finish. The HEMI is known world wide for its performance.

    Knock will happen when the fuel is ignited to much before top dead center or from low octane which burns to fast. Edges in the combustion chamber will get hot enough to ignite fuel causing the Knock. Timing adjustment will usually help unless compression is above something like 9.5 to 1 and up.

    Connie Kalitta and Don Prudhomme, both earned 1966 NHRA victories in dragsters powered by supercharged versions of the Ford 427 SOHC engine running on nitromethane fuel. Kalitta drove his Bounty Hunter entry into the winners’ circle at the season-opening Winternationals at Pomona, Calif., while Prudhomme prevailed at the Springnationals at Bristol, Tenn., in Carroll Shelby’s Super Snake entry powered by the same engine.
    At the 1967 NHRA Springnationals held at Bristol. Prudhomme posted the fastest qualifying time and became the first top fuel driver to break into ‘6s at a NHRA national meet and the first to break 220 mph (6.99 @220mph). He also ran sub-7second times in three of four elimination runs (shut off early when opponent fouled in the other run). Prudhomme beat fellow Ford driver Pete Robinson in the final.
    There's plenty of other classes (AFX Gas Rhonda, Ohio George Montgomery A/GS 4 championships, Dyno Don Nicholson match racing) and others that also utilized the Cammer and beat the best Chrysler had to offer.
    Also to note. The 351C was the most handicapped engine in PS racing history, not the HEMI.
    No oe cast HEMI has run 5.88 @ 256mph, but a little oe cast 4.6 4V has.
    No oe cast HEMI has run anywhere near 300.4 mph in a standing mile, but Fords oe cast 5.4L 4V has.
    Not an oe cast HEMI on planet earth has won overall Sick Week,Tx2k24,Import vs Domestic, but a prepped oe cast Predator/Coyote has and set the drag and drive radial record 6.26 @ 227mph.
    The HEMI is overhyped outside of nitro racing.

And from what I have learned over the years about the "oh so bad but really never was" big bad Ford cammer engine is that people in the know knew the engine wouldn't last a 500 mile race because of the horrendously long timing chain required among other issues. Just repeating research I have done in the past to learn of this beast that in my mind really never existed. Besides Chrysler knew of it and was already prepared to up the anti with an even better Hemi but saw no need to unholster it so it never went into production. Look it up it's the real deal. Also how can you say Ford dominated the 426 in NASCAR when the King Richard won 27 of 42 races in one season ('67) in his mighty Mopar. Ford dominated after GM had pulled out and the King protested Chrysler for not giving him a winged car so he made the switch to Ford for one year when he was in his driving prime.

    The first real Hemi engine V8 was a Ford GAA 1100 cubic inches period!

    First automotive Hemi? Not even close. Engines with hemispherical combustion chambers date from the early 1900s. While some of these were racing engines, both BMW and Jaguar had hemi head engines in production models before Chysler.

    It was never built or sold in enough volume to ever be a factor for most hot rodders. We could and did pull 383s and 440s out of New Yorkers and Imperials and stuff them into E and A bodies. Hemis were always too expensive for the average Joe.

      It is right down to the hemispherical head chambers, dual spark plugs, and valves opposite across from each other not next to with two rows of rocker arms on each side...if that ain't a Hemi then your name ain't Buckwheat. But it is and you is!!!

    Info was great, but the imagery doesn't match the dialogue. You keep using vintage racing footage that was way before the years you are talking about.

    Generally well done but littered with stock footage of design and engineering that has no bearing on this particular engine. Still my favorite engine, though.
