been hearing mumbling about the appearance of a Hemi engine, and for 2003,
it'll go to Dodge, in the Ram Heavy Duty. The star is a 345-horsepower 5.7L
Hemi Magnum V-8. You want tech? You got it: "Crossflow aluminum cylinder
heads with hemispherical combustion chambers and investment cast, steel
rocker arm actuated splayed valves; two spark plugs per cylinder; direct
ignition with high-power coils; a cast, nodular iron crankshaft running in
cross-bolted steel main bearing caps." This all translates into less
vibration, consistent and fast combustion, and improved airflow
