Hemi?

[Anonymous]

I saw a really sweet bare long block in the junk yard yesterday. It was a 225 Dodge inline six, still really nice paint and everything. Was that a Hemi six or was that just the 265? If anyone is interested it's here in Reno, NV and I would imagine the yard would charge about $250-$300.

Most likely to be the 225 slant six. They were conventional wedge engines. The 215/245/265 Aussie Chrysler Hemis were straight sixes, not slant, and came with ployspherical chambers and a non-centred sparking plug...they weren't Hemi like a NASCAR 429, Hemi 426/354/392, or even Toyota 2,3 or 4k sub 78 cube four cylinder engines. But there were technicaly Hemi engines, and had gross power figures from 145 to 302 HP in the triple Weber E49 versions. Blocks were mirror image Chevy, but with twelve ports in the head.
