The History of the Chrysler Hemi Gen III (Revised)

[@tomnekuda3818]

It is obvious that you went thru a fantastic amount of research to present this upload......thanks.

[@TheGearheadLounge]

Thank you so much!

One more time... great researcj, and an excellent video production! Must agree that as a new performance benchmark, the gen III is an amazing engine. Questionable cam and lifter lubribcation, MDS system, and dropped valve seats are all issues that scare me and I'm not convinced they were ever totally fixed. Nevertheless, I think the 6.4L SRT version is the best of the breed, and I would love to have a late 300 SRT as the ultimate American performance sedan benchmark. Great video series... Thanks!

[@TheGearheadLounge]

Thank you so much for watching!...and I'm with you, I would LOVE a 6.4 300 SRT for a daily!

[@jamessneed8789]

I knew you had to revive it.😊

Nicely done once again. The gen III hemi was an nice turn on the automotive industry. The 2003 dodge commercials are what got me into the newer style hemi engine. I like my 2005 dodge ram hemi. The power to weight is dam near perfect and theirs no MDS. The PCM is less restrictive, so tuning the engine is really nice. My truck sits on an 2 inch lift and 35inch Al terrain tires with an 6k rpm redline it gets to 120mph pretty fast. If my truck ever drops an valve seat I’ll just throw on an 6.1 intake and cylinder heads because parts are interchangeable. Keep up the great work 👍🏻

Great stuff as always my friend.

[@TheGearheadLounge]

You are always appreciated, my friend! Hey! I don't know if you ever saw my post, but my wife and I have started another channel---The Renties of Houston! Check it out if you can! Thanks! (insert shameless plug here) kzbin.info/door/W8W3tX_ReRPDaDM4q-yehw

They should have made a hemi head inline 6. My idea got many others. I have always loved MoPar. Great video.

[@TheGearheadLounge]

Thank you!

[@williamg2552]

They actually DID…many years ago. But it never got to the States. I was only available in Mopar cars in Australia. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chrysler_Hemi-6_Engine?wprov=sfti1

[@THROTTLEPOWER]

Great vid!!!!

[@TheGearheadLounge]

Thanks again! Lol...I had to make a couple of tweaks during to a copyright claim...

[@Mike_Collins392]

Cool series man , lot of research required for sure . The first one ( " Gen 1 " ) is still the best !!! It's my favorite at least , lol. Here is to " Keeping the FirePower Lit " !!!

[@TheGearheadLounge]

Thank you so much! Yeah, the FirePower was a great engine!

[@Therecouldbehope]

Between Ferrari & Hemi the rest are just temporary experiments.

False Porche uses Chrysler Semi Cumbustion Engine of the 1950's from the Chrysler/Plymouth Division! Porche didn't have a HEMI Automobile Ever! The Chrysler HEMII is derived from the WWII XP Chrysler 16-Cylinder HEMII Aircraft Engine for "The XP47-Thunderbolt Fighter or Pursuit Airplane!

[@manfredwhite9418]

Nice Video.

[@TheGearheadLounge]

Thank you!

Rumor has it that in 2018 all the Scat Pack 392 Challenger/Charger models used the beefier BGE block. Do you know if that rumor was true??

[@TheGearheadLounge]

I’ve heard that as well! Although I’ve been unable to confirm.

[@boblister665]

I just watched the two part series on the gen 2 HEMI or elephant motor Very impressive. The gen111 caries on the legacy but with modern computer controlled motors the new HEMI is not as far ahead as the original. GM and Ford have monster power also these days

[@MisterMikeTexas]

According to ButterDaInsider, a new HEMI V8, or Mopar V8, may be in the works. And he has a theory that "Last Call" and the special models were planned to maintain interest in the aging cars, so sales wouldn't slip in anticipation of their replacements. It could be wishful thinking on Butter's part. We'll have to see. Dodge has been quiet lately.

[@TheGearheadLounge]

I saw that video! You know, I wouldn’t be surprised if they came out with a new Hemi! I believe that ButterDaInsider is appropriately named…I’m sure he has an inside line!

[@youtubecarspottersguide1]

glad I was able to buy a brand new hemi 5.7 like to get a new 6.4 hemi 6 speed and be the orig owner who would of thought. every one could afford and daily drive a hemi

[@hectorguajardo6392]

I think the TRX ram was more of a payback to Ford and also show Ford the light and stop with their V-6 nonsense

[@bwtv147]

What about valve train lubrication at low RPM?

[@TheGearheadLounge]

What about it? Something I missed? I wouldn't be surprised. Which generation?

[@bwtv147]

[@TheGearheadLounge]

@@bwtv147 Okay! Yeah...I totally missed that issue!

[@shawnriddle3018]

I don't know where you got your info for the 03 Hemi which i was a proud owner of being copied from Porsche. I dont see any resemblance from Chryslers 5.7L Hemi V8 to a flat head engine. I also fail to see any design even close in the cylinder head chamber. I call B.S. on that one.

[@sprout2033]

The third generation hemi is not really a hemi engine but a ploy to sell a image

[@bwtv147]

Semi hemi, like the Chevy rat motors and Ford 385 engines.

[@britjohnson1990]

The change in the combustion chamber was a must to pass emissions and get better gas mileage. A true hemi chamber has a huge volume. Also the pistons would have to be domed which raises weight and cost. I think it still deserves the name becasue it is still a pushrod v8 with similar valvetrain and rocker setup and a deep skirt with cross bolted mains, 8 bolt crank, etc. If they didn't call it a hemi everyone else would
