I own a 66 hemi charger (survivor) and a built 440 '66 charger as well. The 440 (stroked to 493cid) puts out 1100HP, so I can tell you a 440 can be built to make power. There's no real doubt about that.
0-60 a stock 440 and 426 are narly identical. The hemi excels beyond that point as it builds power at higher RPM, where the hemisperical chambers gain their benefit.
The 440 is probably the better street engine, where the Hemi is the better drag engine, all things considered.
Is that why the BOSS is, to this day, the engine of choice in NHRA's top two classes...Top Fuel Dragster and Top Fuel Funny Car? Oh wait, that's the Hemi! Oh I know, the BOSS must be the engine that rules NHRA's top Super Stock class...SS/AH. Oh wait, that would be the Hemi too! In fact, the Hemi is so dominant that SS/AH was created just for the Hemis because nothing nade from G.M. or Ford could compete in the same class!
That's because the HEMI was optioned with aluminum heads, a large single 4 barrel, a more aggressive camshaft and overall the HEMI is just the better drag motor.
You idiots with your brand bashing need to grow up. I'm a Ford guy, working at a Mopar shop. We built an 835HP Hemi. Jon Kaase built a 760HP 351 Cleveland. Those are the two top motors, period. Dont try to compare them because they cannot be compared to. For the record, I love Windsor motors but that's neither here nor there.
Of course theres a need for name calling, nobody elected me a judge or expert nor did I portray myself as one. If you took your head out of your ass for a sec you'd realize I was talking to the fools who keep arguing about who makes the better engine.
dukes103 your full of shit. 225mph? so your blown 440 puts out 2500ish hp huh? with a SIX-PACK?!? on top of a blower?? Why don't you open your mouth wider and shove your other foot in
you're a dumb fuck, Dukes103 is right, it's more about your transmission, rear-end and suspension than it is about horsepower when reaching high top speeds. The engine gives you the RPM and Torque and gives that to the transmission, it's up to the properly tuned transmission and suspension to deliver is to the ground.
Ok thedrakenz,then if what your saying it true that the 440 is better then the hemi,then why are they useing the hemi in top fuel instead of the 440.Wake up the hemi head is better then the 440 head and the hemi has cross bolting makeing it stronger on the bottom end of the engine.
There's more to cars than big super chargers and turbos and blowers my friend. Tuning a car and understanding engine dynamics is what you need. By the way, I didnt at any time say that 440 was better than Hemi, I just said it wasn't impossible what he was saying.
I dont know where I said anything about turbos or superchargers or blowers.If you look at the dynamics of how the hemis combustion chamber works you'll see why the hemi is a legend.The 440 dont even have 4bolt mains or even cross bolting? I've owned all and love them all but I love my hemi more!
The hemi is a legend,everyone knows the hemi not many know what a 440 is. Also the hemi was build down from the drag strip to be on the street,my hemi weighs as much as a 440
Well yes they do original but also they are cross bolted where the 440 isnt,the hemi also had low compression,now take the mid sixties heimis they are alot faster then the 440s with the short rams,I'm sorry the 440 is a great motor and so is the 383 but nothing beats a hemi when the hood is open
you're a fucking moron, 440 = displacement of the engine. Hemi = hemispherical head. Not many people know what an actual hemi is, more people know what a 440 is.
umm yeah I am going to tell you like I told that other guy before you come to an argument come with actual facts and not what you hear from your fucking friends, THERE ARE ford cars in top fuel dragsters, I do not know where you got that sorry info from but it's wrong, and just because I happen to love Ford and not Chrysler, there is nothing wrong with that, at least I love American performance and not some sorry rice burning piece of shit!!!!!!
Yea and my cobra has over 960hp to the back so before all of ya'll start trash talking y'll should know what you are going up againts!!!! I told you guys already I respect Chrysler but not enough to say it is the best when it comes to American Performance!!!!!!!
buddy im a top of the line drag racer i raced against a Cobra that had the same hp ur car has and guess what i still smoked him. Hp dosnt count its how fast ur car launches and mine goes from zero to sixty in 2 seconds! and i got it to top out at 225 miles an hour at the drag strip.
First of all my car is circuit car, and I do not street race with it, but I am going to say this, I have whopped a few plymouths and dodges when I have taken it to the strip. But I have never raced an actual dragster with it, so I am going to admit you probably will beat me, and that is only because my car is not a drag car!!!!!
Words of wisdom from the balless wonder. You are probably one of those stupid pussies that drives a primered shitcan Honda....pathetic. GO CHRYSLER!!!!
when you can show me a carbed car, that stock from factory put out over 800 horse, you can rag on chrysler, untill then go back and shine your spinners
First of all If you are going to argue make sure you argue with the facts and not what you hear you your faggot friends talk about. I give respect to Chrysler becasue I love American Cars, out of the Big 3 I am all ford, now if you want a car that is fast from the factory maybe you should get a 67 Boss mustang or a 70's Hurst olds which puts out more torque stock than that cahllenger. I have seen both of those cars beat a Hemi STOCK so FUCK YOU!!!!!

Actually, the HEMI is easily beaten, since it weighs a FUCKING TON.
440 sixpack, tuned, is the way to go. Or the 340 T/A performance option.
