The extra set of spark plugs on the HEMI, and on previous engines, are designed to reduce emissions before a catalyst is needed.

What made the 426 Hemi so good?

A hemispherical cylinder head (“hemi-head”) simply allows an engine to make more power. It has an efficient combustion chamber with an excellent surface-to-volume ratio, with minimal heat loss to the head, and allows for two larger valves.

How many spark plugs does a 392 Hemi have?

Yes, that’s correct – the 392 HEMI uses 2 spark plugs per cylinder. Then there are the standard 8 ignition coils. It’s a lot of ignition parts that may cause engine misfires. Spark plugs are wear and tear parts that usually require replacement every 60,000 to 80,000 miles.

What is a 426 stroker?

HEMI 426 Stroker Kit. Stroker rotating assembly kits provide the key internal components for an engine builder to complete a short block with a particular displacement target in mind. They are all pre-matched components with the appropriate measurements to support a precision engine build.

Is a 426 Hemi a big block?

The B and RB engines are often referred to as “wedge” engines because they use wedge-shaped combustion chambers; this differentiates them from Chrysler’s 426 Hemi big block engines that are typically referred to as “Hemi” or “426 Hemi” due to their hemispherical shaped combustion chambers.
