hemi sin dudasssss
You could spend hours studying the Hemi in Jim's roadster-but wear sunglasses because whatever's not chromed is polished. Actually the '58 Chrysler 392 block and heads are painted. GG Auto Machine bored the cylinders 0.060-over to 406 ci, added 11.00:1 forged pistons, and balanced and blueprinted the engine, with assembly done at the Jalopy Shoppe by Mike Sholes and Jim. Jim says the Schneider cam was chosen for torque (which he puts in the neighborhood of 500 lb-ft). The O'Brien Truckers valve covers, cast valley cover, and timing cover, Offenhauser log manifold, and six original Stromberg 97s with Wilcap carb tops and stainless air cleaner screens were chosen for impact as much as anything. Retro cloth-covered copper core wires run from a Don Zig Vertex magneto. Paul "House" Gilbert built the custom headers. Walker supplied a custom radiator to keep the Hemi cool. The transmission is a Hurst-shifted Richmond five-speed with a McLeod clutch and Wilcap flywheel. Larry Phillips built the chrome driveshaft, turning 3.50:1 gears in a quick-change, limited-slip differential.
