Ode to the Hemi: A Look Back at the Legacy of Death and Glory — The Drive
|
The first generation of street Hemi was born in 1951. It might not be as well-known as its larger little brother, the second-generation 426 Hemi, but an early Hemi is a feisty ball of muscle. During the seven-year run, it set the stage for Hemis to stand as performance juggernauts. This generation hosted the first American engine to produce one horsepower per cubic inch with the 355-horsepower 354 cubic-inch engine featured in the 1956 Chrysler 300B.
