The Chrysler Hemi-6 engine is a family of inline six-cylinder petrol engines produced by Chrysler Australia in three piston displacements and multiple configurations. [1] Hemi-6 engines were installed in Australian-market Chrysler Valiants from 1970 through 1981.
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.
The new engine was introduced as a 245 cu in (4.0 L) unit with quasi-hemispherical combustion chambers. The "Hemi" name was already legendary in America with Chrysler's use of the Hemi V8, hence Chrysler Australia's marketing leverage for its 6-cylinder offering. The 1-barrel version of the 245 produced 165 bhp (123 kW) and 235 lbf⋅ft (319 N ...
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.
215-245-265 Hemi-6 (Australia only) The Slant-Six is the popular name for a Chrysler inline-6 internal combustion engine with an overhead valve reverse-flow cylinder head and cylinder bank inclined at a 30-degree angle from vertical.
The Chrysler Centura is a midsize car which was produced by Chrysler Australia between 1975 and 1978. It was based on Chrysler Europe's Chrysler 180 model, but was also available with larger Australian-made Hemi Six engines. 19,770 Centuras were built.
The 5.7 L HEMI engine for 2005-2008 has slightly less horsepower than those found in the Dodge Ram or the Dodge Charger (330 vs 345) due to different engine control unit (ECU) programming. The 5.7 L HEMI engine for 2009 and up was upgraded with Variable Cam Timing (VCT) adding 27 hp (20 kW; 27 PS) and 14 lb⋅ft (19 N⋅m) of torque.
Forged connecting rods used the Wedge's 3 ⁄ 8 in (9.5 mm) hardware, as opposed to the Hemi's 7 ⁄ 16 in (11.1 mm), but would nonetheless have been considered high-performance parts. [ 1 ] The intake was to be a single Carter ThermoQuad , of greater flow than any previously used, on a dual-plane intake manifold, [ 5 ] while dual four-barrels ...
