Chrysler wasn't the first to use a hemi head in a car, by almost 50 years. So wouldn't they be a copier?
To stay on the Ford discussion, I believe Ford along with Ardun put them in garbage trucks before Chrysler put one in a car.
And I thought better of you.
5.0 with aluminum heads, cam and some mild tuning easily surpass 300hp and is smaller than a SB Chevy and is lighter than a 4.0 six.

The 70s were bad for performance. New emission laws sent engineers trying to pass new standards. My '75 Mustang was a dog until I reworked my distributor. Initial timing was like 3 or 4 degrees and the advance springs didn't allow more than around 20 degrees. Mr Gasket springs and modifying the advance stops made a huge difference.

I passed inspection with slicks on my "street car" a few times. I put a lot of miles on slicks and never got caught.
Unfortunately.i wonder how far behind the diesel performance shutdown the rest of us are....
They got busted because they flaunted it, same thing is going on with the faa and the diesel douches Blackhawk, just because you can doesn’t mean you should videotape that shit…
Here you go guys, a Ford 302 in a 2001 TJ.
