When the 426 hemi was introduced in 1964 it was strictly a racing engine. The street version differed from its racing cousin by virtue of a lower compression ratio 10.25:1 milder valve timing and different intake and exhaust manifolds for reliability cast iron heads were used instead of aluminum. Throughout its eight year production life very little changed inside the 426 hemi. Chrysler never changed the engines advertised horspower and torque ratings which stood at 425 hp at 5000 rpm and 490 ft lbs of torque at 4000 rpm. Thanks to its exiting track record the original 426 hemi remains one of the most famous engines in automotive history. Includes molded display base.
