Marauder engine a hemi?

[Joe Walsh]

They take up too much space for too few cubic inches.

I agree too few cubic inches for a car that weighs 4200 lbs

Yep....

external dimensions are very impressive....people often ask if it is a 500 CID big block.

Then you must admit that it is a small 281 CID engine.

If only the Coyote 5.0 DOHC was available for our heavy Marauders back in the day....:shake:

BTW: 'Semi Hemis' are BEASTS!....http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boss_429

I believe the Modular 4v combustion chamber is called a "pent-roof" design?

So the marauder engine is a semi-hemi

read my mind grasshopper

I would not describe the 4v heads (or any modern Ford head) as a Hemi in any sense of the work, trademark or technical.

Yes, but you can't beat those cylinder heads. Such is the price of 4V DOHC.

BBC is considered a semi-hemi, with its canted valves.

You may not be able to beat the exotic sweetness of a 4V , but an LS motor can make a ton more HP , if i had built an LS motor instead of a MOD motor , i would easily have made over 1,000 RWHP!

True, but 600 HP on the street will be enough for me. I love the Ford engine.

Cant argue with that 600 is plenty for the street.
