Un livre de Brooklands consacré aux moteurs Chrylser Hemi V8.

Les 22 articles, parus à l'époque dans le magazine américain 'Hot Rod Magazine', donnent beaucoup d'information sur le blueprinting, la préparation, la modification des culasses, la révision et la restauration.

Hemi. The word alone evokes images of ultra-high-performance street cars and dominating race cars. No other engine has earned as much street credibility and race success. This engine resides at the pinnacle of American V-8 performance, and cars that carry a Hemi are some of the rarest, most expensive, and legendary muscle cars ever made.
When Chrysler threw the wraps off the 426 in 1964, it made history. In the 1964 Daytona 500, the new Hemi-powered stock cars finished 1-2-3-4, announcing Chrysler's new era of dominance in racing.

This book details how to extract even more horsepower out of the incredible Hemi engines. All the block options from street versus race, new versus old, and iron versus aluminum are presented.
Full detailed coverage on the reciprocating assembly is also included. Heads play an essential role in flowing fuel and producing maximum horsepower, and therefore receive special treatment.

Author Richard Nedbal explores major head types, rocker-arm systems, head machining and prep, valves, springs, seats, porting quench control, and much more.
All camshaft considerations are discussed as well, so you can select the best specification for your engine build.

Induction options including EFI, aftermarket ignitions systems, high-performance oiling systems, and cooling systems are also covered. The book also examines in detail how to install and set up power adders such as nitrous oxide, superchargers, and turbochargers.

A step-by-step guide to rebuilding, restoring, and modifying the famous Mopar 'Six-Pack' engines that appeared in all of Chrysler's muscle cars from 1969 through 1971, as well as the late-model small-blocks and crate performance motors currently offered by Chrysler.

Larry Shepard is a former engineer for Chrysler Corporation, where he worked in Mopar Performance, the high performance parts division.

Larry Shepard delivers thorough instructions for each crucial step of the rebuilding process. Before commencing engine tear down, he shows you how to perform compression and leak down testing to accurately assess the health of the engine. Disassembly and comprehensive inspection instructions are provided so you can determine and remedy any underlying problems.
Expert insight allows you to select the ideal parts package for your rebuild, whether OEM replacement or compatible and complementary high-performance parts are selected.

The most pertinent information for the latest machining practices is provided, so you can coordinate with the machine shop to return the block, head, intake, and other surfaces to like-new condition.
Assembling the cylinder heads as well as accurately measuring, checking clearances, and test fitting parts is detailed, so you're sure all components are within spec and ready for final assembly.
Finally, comprehensive step-by-step instructions are provided for assembling all components into a completed engine.

Covers the Hemi Gen III 5.7L, 6.1L, and 6.2L supercharged and 6.4L engines (2003 to present). These powerful engines occupy the engine bays of new Challengers, Chargers, Magnums, 300Cs, Durangos, Jeep Grand Cherokees, and Ram trucks.

The New Hemi engine has an aggressive persona and outstanding performance. Powering the Challenger, Charger, Ram trucks, and other vehicles in the Chrysler lineup, this engine produces at least one horsepower per cubic inch.
Unleashed in 2003, it has been offered in 5.7-, 6.1-, 6.2-, and now 6.4-liter displacements.

With each successive engine introduction, Chrysler has extracted more performance. And with the launch of the Hellcat and Demon 6.2-liter supercharged engines, Chrysler built the highest horsepower production engines ever made, at 707 hp and 840 hp respectively.
This third-generation Hemi carries on a high-performance Chrysler tradition and is considered the most powerful and "buildable" new pushrod V-8 engine on the market today.

Mopar engine expert and veteran author Larry Shepard reveals up-to-date modification techniques and products for achieving higher performance. Porting and modifying the stock Hemi heads as well as the best flow characteristics with high lift are revealed.
In addition, guidance on aftermarket heads is provided. A supercharger is one of the most cost-effective aftermarket add-ons, and the options and installation are comprehensively covered.
Shepard guides you through the art and science of selecting a cam, so you find a cam that meets your airflow needs and performance goals. He details stock and forged crankshafts plus H- and I-beam connecting rods that support the targeted horsepower, so you can choose the best rotating assembly for your engine. In addition, intake manifold and fuel systems, ignition systems, exhaust systems, and more are covered.
