Even the word hemi has a magic to it that only a Furrari can come close to.

Chrysler introduced the Tomahawk (the V10 motorcycle) at the 2003 Detroit Auto Show.

500 hp!

They sold nine replicas for $550,000 each through Neiman Marcus. But they are not street legal.

This place is great! How many parts make up a Hemi? If dodgehemi gives us all of them, this may become the longest thread in history!

I think dodgehemi is trying to build his post count. It's a long way to 400, like some people here.

How shameful!!!!! I still wonder if that is the same as a harmonic balancer on a Corvetter or whatever.

Yes the Vibration damper is the same as a harmonic balancer.

pmossberg I don't really know how many parts make up a hemi, but I will tell you it will be over 1000. But I don't inten to use all of them I only have about 13 more post on this.

revilo
As for post count No.

Good. I thought so. I had never heard of one until one of my friends had one go bad on his Vette. This is a great thread!
I think rev was making fun of me and pmossberg in the count battle. Nothing meant toward you hemi.
I have to ask though. Is the vibration damper adjusted like a wheel with a little more wieght here or there to balance the engine? Seems like that would be it but I really don't know.
Thanks.

Songsmith got it right dodgehemi. We were busting each other.
I'm enjoying this thread.
I have hemi-envy. My 65 plymouth has a humble 318 poly.
But then she does get 20mpg on the highway; not bad for a 4,000 pound 45 year old!

That is the best I can answer.

Olive Oil: I have a picture of my late husband with Richard Petty. Richard was his favorite driver. Is place I can send this and have Richard sign it? It would mean everything to me. We were married 52 years. May 25, 2015 11:43:27 GMT -5

Carole: I have a picture of my husband sitting on the hood of the 43 car at the 1979 Daytona 500 winning circle. How he got on the hood, your guess is as good as mine!!! he's also on the back of the sleeve of the movie. Jun 9, 2015 13:19:25 GMT -5
