LOL..hey that would work though, Doc..I can see him saying that..heheIt's a twisted wedge, not a true hemispherical combustion chamber. It was just too tough for the MOPAR media men to get those two rednecks in their commercials say "Yeah, it's got a twisted wedge!"

There is almost no chamber in the cylinder head, just a very small pocket between the valves and the valves are rotated slightly out of line and tipped to point to the center of the cylinder. The Rockers are individual stands for each valve. If you have ever seen a 409 chevy head it looks similar, but with a smaller chamber and valve centerlines tipped to meet about 6" down in the cylinder. Real HEMIs have a combustion chamber that you can put your fist in (or a pint of NITRO), both the production HEMI and the pro stock HEMI are using the term as a marketing tool as neither head has much of a combustion chamber.It's a twisted wedge, not a true hemispherical combustion chamber.

Thanks Ian, for the response and great explanation. I remember the 409 configuration. I couldn't get the link to work, though. It comes up blank.

Yeah, I'm not real good with computers, but the other two links have better pics anyway and seem to work. By the way if you want to give Kaase a call, he has an 815" one @ 1700 HP for sale. I don't want to even think what it would cost.
