Built my first Hemi this weekend

[74 340 4speed]

I can't afford a real hemi for now so this is as close as I can get, lol.   Maybe I can get one when I finish my mechanical engineering degree.









Found it at wal-mart in the model section for $19.95.  I spent the afternoon putting it together.

Mine came ready assembled though, same engine, shaker hood "Plymouth Hemicuda".

Well, not bad.. But...the PS pump is not the correct color, and the Alternator isnt either..  (How do you like owning a Hemi? )

jK...lol.

jK...lol.

Yea, it came already painted so, so I chose not to redo that part of it. Shouldn't it have a 7 blade clutch fan as well?

I also have one almost like that.  Looks Good

did ya put on the Dyno, what kinda numbers did it post  sorry couldn't help my self

my project is still in the box

you may want to consider upgrading that 4-blade to a 7-blade fan with viscous style clutch. It will keep those plastic parts running much cooler.

Yea it made about 425 minature pony power and about 500 in lbs of torque.

Is that the kind that actually spins and makes engine sounds, or is it just a plain model?

[74 340 4speed]

No engine sounds, but you can turn the pulley on the crankshaft or the flywheel and you can see the belts move around the power steering and water pumps, and the alternator.  The starter bendix moves too when you turn the flywheel.

Well, to be honest, I've never assembled a 426 Hemi...lol. So I'll be looking to you for tech answers if and when I find one...

     You guys are nuts! 

What scale is that?  Is it 1/6 or 1/12?  Looks nice!

[74 340 4speed]

1:6 scale

Cool!  Thanks for the info!
