Dick;
Add one more hemi engine to the list: the SOHC 3- liter 128F Ferrari engine.
It has hemi heads and they must flow pretty well although I have no data
other than the fact that it put out 240BHP from 183CID and was as completely
streetable as a Volkswagen. Another indication of the hemi heads' efficiency
was that it could tolerate lots of ignition timing advance.
Happy New Year to all. Regards, Neil Tucson, AZ

I was comparing flow numbers for heads. And I
compared a 270 Desoto to a 289 Ford; a 300
Chrylser with Hemi heads to a 305 Ford; a 354
Chrysler to a 350 Chev. No Apples to Oranges
here. Of Course, I'm talking flow numbers, not
HP numbers, but I think HP is directly tied to
max flow.
