I didn't see a pic of the combustion chambers . Arduns were a hemi. Zora Arkus Duntov, father of the Corvette.

I don't have sound, so I couldn't hear what was said, and it has been over 50 years since I have seen one of these setups, so I could be wrong. A person I knew many years ago, had a NOS Ardun setup. If I remember correctly, there was special pistons, and cam with the conversion. I don't remember about intake\exhaust.
PS: notice how similar the Mopar hemi stuff is to the Ardun, and the Ardun was first.

I'd agree so far as that goes but I guess you know Chrysler was experimenting with hemi head aircraft engines during WWII, and of course there were various hemi designs in Europe way before, but I can't quote what

Actually, Rob, I'm just interested. I don't want a flathead. Love to have a 30's Plymouth coupe, tho, with almost anything in there, LA, B/RB or any hemi

Think they might do a overhead cam conversion for the slant?

I would settle for an Ardun Hemi head.
