Yep - that would be 353ci with 353hp and 353ftl-bs. Sound familiar? They did
basically the same thing back in the 60s when the original 426 Hemi came out -
426ci with 425hp and 425ft-lbs. Of course this is nowhere near what they
actually put out.

The 353ci Hemi will be the small-block version - the prostock version (big
block) put out 1,275 horsies and ran a 6.92 at 198mph on its first pass out of
the design room. And this was with a carb! They both use a similiar design
with the prostock version having a larger bore and stroke.

Latr,

Shane
