Hemi History
« on: September 29, 2008 - 03:38:28 AM »
Hello i'm new to this forum and this is my first post. Last night me and a couple friends were working on my duster and one of them who is a die hard chevy guy said to me you know the hemi was originally a chevy thing the guy who invented it took it to chevy first and they didn't want it. now it got me thinking and i was wondering if i could get some history on the hemi engine.

This link provides a short video documentary of the history of the Hemi engine.  Maybe this will help you out a little....   :2thumbs:
