[QUOTE="bonesninja, post: 1574665, member: 557079"] 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. [/QUOTE]
