Chrysler developed its first experimental hemi engine for the Republic P-47 Thunderbolt fighter aircraft. The XIV-2220 was an inverted V16 rated at 2,500 hp (1,860 kW). The P-47 was already in production with a Pratt & Whitney radial engine when the XIV-2220 flew successfully in trials in 1945 as a possible upgrade, but the war was winding down and it did not go into production.
It was a bored-out 241, having a 3 + 9 ⁄ 16 in (3.5625 in) bore and keeping the 3 + 1 ⁄ 4 in (3.25 in) stroke (90.5 mm × 82.6 mm). This engine was also used on 1955 and 1956 Dodge trucks. Maximum power claimed was 167 hp (125 kW) with a two-barrel carburettor; a four-barrel version with 177 hp (132 kW) was added later. [1]
The Chrysler B and RB engines are a series of big-block V8 gasoline engines introduced in 1958 to replace the Chrysler FirePower (first generation Hemi) engines. The B and RB engines are often referred to as "wedge" engines because they use wedge-shaped combustion chambers; this differentiates them from Chrysler's 426 Hemi big block engines that are typically referred to as "Hemi" or "426 Hemi ...
2003–present: Hemi. 5.7L Hemi - The smallest modern Hemi engine, called the Eagle, introduced in 2002. 6.1L Hemi - A larger modern Hemi, 2004–2010. 6.4L Hemi - A larger bore modern Hemi engine, called the Apache, introduced in 2011. 6.2L Hemi - A supercharged Hemi engine, called the Hellcat, introduced in 2014.
In 1998 the compression ratio increased for a total of 180 hp (134 kW) and 240 lb⋅ft (325 N⋅m). In 2001, like the 3.3 the 3.8 received the symmetrical reinforced plastic intake plenum and revised camshaft which boosted output to 215 hp (160 kW) at 5000 rpm with 245 lb⋅ft (332 N⋅m) at 4000 rpm.
The Hemi-6 is a pushrod O.H.V. (overhead valve engine), with combustion chambers comprising about 35% of the top of the globe. This creates what is known as a low hemispherical shaped chamber. In this way, the "Hemi" moniker was used for the same kind of marketing cachet as Chrysler's 1950s-1970s Hemi V8 engines.
An upgrade is available to the 5.7-liter (350 cu in) Chrysler Hemi, a V8 engine, which produces 395 horsepower (295 kW) and 410 pound force-feet (556 N⋅m) of torque. The engine is equipped with Variable Cam Timing (VCT) and a Multi-Displacement System (MDS) which shuts down four of the engine's eight cylinders when operating between 1,000 and ...
Intended to deal with the troubles created by the low-production 426, of which only about 9,000 were built from 1966 to 1972), [4] as well as the different architectures of the higher-volume 383 cu in (6.3 L) and 400 cu in (6.6 L) B and 440 cu in (7.2 L) RB V8s, the ball-stud hemi was to be suitable for high-volume manufacture at low cost while ...
