    They literally make the earth rumble! Their sound is very distinctive. Chebbie and Ferd boys beware a HEMI means business.

    Crates sound the same as the originals as long as were not talking new style Hemi.

    The solid lifter hemis (69 and earlier) have a more mechanical sound that the hyd. lifter motors. Those big valve covers magnify the solid lifter noise.

    The do have a unique sound when you open them up and the 8 bbls kick in. The 440-6's also have a sound all thier own when the outboards open up. I've owned both and they both are an experience to feel and hear!

    I just heard one today for the first time (as far as I can remember).  My buddy has a '68 Hemi Roadrunner.  I offered to drive it to Carlisle for him since he is taking a truck full of parts to sell, but he said no thanks. :crying: He has a plaque from Carlisle from when they invited him to show his car in one of the buildings 2 years ago.

    I have heard them, drove them and owned one.I had one shohorned into a 70 Duster and it was a bear to handle when you nailed the throttle. :burnout:
