Car Forum / Antique and Collectibles / Studebaker / June 2005OT- most beautiful American car engine
It was made in Indiana, but not in South Bend. http://www.frontiernet.net/~thejohnsons/Marmon%2016/ My son is working in a restoration shop where they are finishing a Marmon V-16- aluminum ohv engine in the early 30s. Paul Johnson Well, I dunno, Paul; it doesn't have a huge black plastic shroud over the whole engine that says "HEMI" on it! <G> > It was made in Indiana, but not in South Bend. > http://www.frontiernet.net/~thejohnsons/Marmon%2016/ > My son is working in a restoration shop where they are finishing a Marmon > V-16- aluminum ohv engine in the early 30s. > Paul Johnson A builder in my local street rod club calls those 'garbage can lids'....

But, don't most modern engines use what is called a pentroof head design, which will allow for four large valves per cylinder? So, is a Hemi actually outdated tech, propped up by marketing and urban legend?

If you like Duesys, check this engine: http://carnut.com/cgi-bin/03/_image.pl?/show/03/nash/nash033.jpg Paul Johnson Today's Hemi is only a marketing ploy, it does not meet the definition of Hemispherical since the combustion chamber is not a 1/2 spher. It's just a cross flow head with big valves that are angled to allow bigger valves. It's the biggest cash cow Chrysler has ever devised. It's one of the Cheapest engines in its power class to make. That's why they are pushing it so hard, since you pay $1000 more than the 4.7 OHC v-8 that costs more for them to build. Now all they have to do is figure out how to market an updated Tip Toe Fluid drive and they will have the ultimate money maker in the auto industry. Here is my favorite engine http://www.autogallery.org.ru/k/p/36pac1408_14thseriesconvsedan3spd1_Volocars.jpg caddy? I see the overhead exhaust. my overall favorite engine is the Toyota 2TC, which is also a hemi, the block is cast but everything else will deburr and polish up nice! I've had bot the 2TC and the 3TC Toyota hemi. Amazing little engines that run forever. >caddy?

Lee DeLaBarre Daytona62 At 180k a friend of mine was out of work, so we replaced my 2TC with a 3TC. I couldn't see a bit of difference, but felt it. At SDAM we have a V-12 Caddy - 60 degree OHV. Too bad that they went to flathead with the 120 degree later ones, but space available had changed. I think that a V16 should be 90 degrees. Anyone ever see a 9 cylinder trianglangular engine? Karl Karl. Very nice, must be 60 degree V? Bet it's exceptionally smooth. > My son is working in a restoration shop where they are finishing a Marmon > V-16- aluminum ohv engine in the early 30s. > Paul Johnson >It was made in Indiana, but not in South Bend. >http://www.frontiernet.net/~thejohnsons/Marmon%2016/ >My son is working in a restoration shop where they are finishing a Marmon >V-16- aluminum ohv engine in the early 30s. >Paul Johnson That's a wimp engine --- a real engine is in pic no's 691 and 692 in the high school reunion pictures at: http://community.webshots.com/user/larkparker SignatureLark Parker >>...Marmon >>V-16- aluminum ohv engine in the early 30s. > That's a wimp engine --- a real engine is in pic no's 691 and 692 in the > high > school reunion pictures at: > http://community.webshots.com/user/larkparker Uh...OK.

The one in the picture came straight out of a Tucker crate. It's never been run.
