Admiral Yamamoto infamously said "You cannot invade the mainland United States. There would be a man with a rifle behind every blade of grass."
And so it should be, a nation of riflemen....

Early Chrysler "FirePower" Hemi Time-Lapse Rebuild
Another great time-lapse rebuild from Hagerty, this time of an early Chrysler "FirePower" HEMI!
I'll bet it really sings with that exhaust system.
Learned mine from my Dad, who was a Tool and Die Maker. He did woodworking to relax, but I was more interested in learning how to make things out of steel and aluminum.
331??? Doesn't look like a 392 to me.
ReplyDeleteMost likely. The bore size is pretty small. I noticed that right away when they were boring it out, along with the fact that it's a "low deck" block.
ReplyDeleteSo if not a 331, then a 354, at most.
I think they were blueprinting it, maybe boring it .30 over... And agree the largest it could be is a 354.
DeleteI'm just curious as to what they're going to put it in.
DeleteWonder if they were setting it up to power a boat from the exhausts.
ReplyDeleteMost likely a street rod of some sort. The video was sponsored by Hagerty, the largest insurer of classic and collectible cars.
DeleteI wish they had started it.
ReplyDeleteSo far, the only one they started was a flat head that they installed into an old truck.
ReplyDeleteAnd people in the comments section are starting to ask them when are they going to do a video of these engines lighting off the first time!
Too bad for me, I have no mechanical skills. There are plenty of times when I wish I did.
