I was reading this howstuffworks article on HEMI engines (http://www.howstuffworks.com/hemi.htm/printable) and it said "there are even better configurations available today."


What are some of those configurations?

HEMI has been around for a while man, I would imagine that a DOHC head flows better.

that would be the Pentroof Hemi they had there, right underneath the paragraph that said there are better configurations available. the Hemi can only fit two valves in a cylinder, while the pentroof hemi can fit four...

its too bad it never really caught on with hot rodders... such a good motor. having a EFI V8 revving to 8,000rpm all-motor would be just too cool.
