I saw a commercial on the Dodge pickup with a Hemi magnum engine. I was wondering if anyone put a Hemi engine in their Camaro.

 

Well since you're referring to a Mopar HEMI, then I'm sure it COULD be done but why? Theres plenty of BBC's you could put in so why go through all the hassle of putting in a Mopar motor/drivetrain. And besides, Mopar stuff can be VERY expensive.

 

yeah, a 426 Hemi is like 13000 dollars. that's way too damn expensive for a 400 HP motor. Hell, that's way too expensive for a motor in general.

 

one of the current magazines has a nice in depth article on the new hemi. AWESOME motor.

It has a coil for each cylinder. Big whoop, right? Well, it also has two plugs per cylinder. Each coil fires the plug it's on, AND the plug of another cylinder that is on it's exhaust stroke (waste spark ignition, kinda like GM's DIS). So you get two plugs per cylinder, and the engine will still run fine on all 8 even if a coil or two dies!

It has lots of other neat ideas. check out the magazine rack and see if you can find the article. I don't know what magazine it was in ... PHR, car craft, something like that...
