Hemi Small Block Heads

[ChallengerHK]

I saw the place selling small block hemi heads at Carlisle. After I stopped drooling on myself, I started wondering what the issues with these might be. Anybody know anything about them, or better yet have experience with them?

do you remember the name of the company so we can see pics of them from their website?

I guess that would help.

I just took a look but didn't see any mention of small block heads. They had a sign that said "Turn any 318, 340 or 360 into a hemi." I wonder if they were just being metaphorical, like "You'll have power like a Hemi."

I am guessing but could they be current production hemi heads like on the new Charger?WOuld they even fit?

I thought about that last night when I was looking at the page, and that could be the answer. What they were showing didn't look like the new Hemi heads to me, but I only looked for a few seconds.

ther is a company making small block hemi heads for LA blocks now , missed the display at Carlisle though , would have liked to have seen it

So I'm not crazy. Or at least no crazier than I thought I was before Carlisle.

Thanks, Chryco. Do you know anything about them?

NO, these are NOT the new 5.7 hemi heads. I saw these guys at carlisle also, saw them last year too. They have a head that bolts on to the small block, not sure what head it is, but its a hemi head. Definitly not the 5.7/6.1

I don't remember the name of the company making the heads, but they have been out for at least a couple of years now. I seem to remember the conversion being pretty expensive too! The heads were based on the old 392 Chrysler head, as opposed to the 426 or new 5.7/6.1 hemis. Come to think of it, the small block conversion came out shortly before the new hemis.

so these will replace U, J and X heads?

There was a company making them for big blocks called Stage V. I don't know if they still are though, Their website hasn't been updated since 2001.

They sure are selling them for a fortune!If I was going to put that kind of money in an engine,I'd just go buy a 426 hemi crate,or a new hemi crate SB from Ma Mopar
