everything you ever wanted to know about the hemi engine (and some stuff you didn't)

http://www.allpar.com/mopar/new-mopar-hemi.html

for example:

"The Hemi design combustion chamber is one of the poorest designs for emissions - why do you think it took so long to get it into production? It almost did not make emissions test requirements even with the modifications. ... Today's Hemi is that (a "Hemi") in name only. [Editor's note: Bob is referring to the head design. It is not a true hemispherical head, but looks vaguely like a hemispherical head with parts filled in.]"

nice write-up, thanks for posting ;)
