Ever since its introduction in 1951 with a 351-ci, 180-horse-power engine, the Hemi has struck fear in the hearts of its competitors. Hemi: The Ultimate American V-8 takes you through the evolution of this legendary engine, from the research and development of the classic 426 four-barrel, through the muscle car heydays of 'Cudas and Road Runners, to the harsh emissions laws that stopped the horsepower movement in its tracks.
This new edition revises and updates information, photos, and text covering the new generation of Hemi cars and trucks, including the new Charger, Challenger, the SRT8 engine and more!
Robert Genat's spectacular photography brings the story to life. Historical photos from the Chrysler archives take you back to the early days of the Hemi's development. Appendices chronicle all of the evolutions of the engine and are packed with specifications on each version of the engine.
