It’s classified like Ford stuff. You have the FE big block series of engines and the you have the 385 series with the 429/460 engines.
The G3 Hemi is just that. It’s not a small block and it’s not a big block. It’s a marketing anomaly that Daimler or whoever owned the once mighty Chrysler Corporation milked for all its worth.
Did anyone ever wonder WHY no other company (in the US anyway) ever bothered with a Hemi? They could have, and yet they didn’t.
There are reasons for that. What’s sad is Drag Boss Garage (Tim Halsted) just had Darin Morgan do another webinar where he explains this in some detail. And he did it for free.
I suspect that by late January 2023 (maybe sooner) you will see two, maybe three actual Ford Pro Stockers. Clint Neff is killing it in Comp Eliminator with a cylinder head that Morgan developed.
Even more sad is that yesterday Uncle Tony dropped a YouTube video about combustion chambers and HE understands more about this stuff than some of the guys arguing here in this thread.
He gets that the chamber matters, especially at OVERLAP, where **** starts happening IF you know what you are doing.
That UT video is worth watching.
