[AcidicDreams 10+ year member]

Lol, I hate when people call them that. Also, another thing that makes me go crazy is calling their SIM card sims cards

yah... or when people refer to the internet like it's their's...

hey man can you help me my internet is broken...

Yep, no 454 hemi. chevy doesnt have a hemi head. Not many cars actually have them heads. DOHC ford motor is a hemi with spark plugs down in the heads, but other than that, GM is in love with their 350 OHV engines.

The kid is FOS but

There was a bunch of BigBlockChevy experimental engines with

Hemispherical heads but they never went into production.

GM did put into production a motor with hemispherical heads...the Quad 4 found in some Olds cars and possible in some Pontiacs

there is no such thing as a 454 hemi; gm has never used a hemispherical head. maybe one out there if some rich guy had a custom block made.but there is no way your friend would ever get one.

Why would need a custom block to make "hemi motor"?

Production dont mean **** ...all after market

Not my quad 4, the spark plugs are at ~30 degree banks.

you are.......they both were working on hemi type heads around the same time but both ignorant of the others work. the original hemi motors were used in airplanes during WWII in the P47 Thunderbolt. It was a V-16 design and produced a rated 2500 hp. It was a breakthrough because a piston driven engine broke 500mph. They later put out the first automotive hemi under the name Fire Power V-8 and displaced 331 c.i.. It was a 2-barrel and made 180 horse at 310 ft/lbs torque. Desoto was the second company to release a hemi, it was a whopping 276 c.i.d. the 426 never hit the street until 66 but they were available as a race motor only in 64.

Here's a hint ...
If someone says it at school, then it's probably not true ...

For future reference ...

I don't believe a word he says anyhow. He comes to school in his POS truck (which he spraypainted flat-black) and we are talking about how gas prices jumped and stuff, this is his reply to the conversation.

"Yep... Iam sure glad I took out my 405 last night and put a 307 in it."

Just like he swapped engines over night after claiming to work 40 hours a week while in school //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/confused.gif.e820e0216602db4765798ac39d28caa9.gif

Lol, he also told me he drove a Save-A-Lot semi to Alaska and killed 7 big black bears and brought them back over the weekend. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif

BUT, with experience and knowledge, a swap could be a one nighter...
