Modelmartin Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 (edited) 4-cam Hemi head V8 with a blower. Most Pegasos ( they built about 80 of them) had multiple carbs. Pegaso was and still is a truck and bus manufacturer. The sports cars were built by the apprentices! It would be like Kenworth deciding to put out an exotic sports car. They are awesome cars.

diymirage Posted December 6, 2011 Share Posted December 6, 2011 i just never heard anyone coll it a hemi before...i mean, ford had the "semi hemi" but i always figured it was a poor marketing plot trying to get a piece of the mopar action Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wayne Buck Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 (edited) Hemi refers to a hemispherical combustion chamber - not exclusive to the Mopar 426! Yeppers. Dave hit the nail on the head. Here's a few examples of different styles of chambers that I found doing a quick search for ya Eelco: (hope the image isn't too small to read) Mopar 426 would be like the one on the bottom left- BTW: That is a WICKED COOL looking motor!....and car! Never saw one before TBH. Edited December 7, 2011 by Wayne Buck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DustyMojave Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 That Pegaso coupe used to be (maybe still is) owned by a friend of a friend. I consulted with him for fabricating the replacement mufflers. (pair of perforated tubes inside of a partly flattened larger tube) What a SWEET Noise it makes!!!! Peugeot used 4-valve Hemi combustion chambers on their race cars before World War I (that's not a typo...it is "one" not two). The Chrysler Hemi was designed by ex-Ford engineer Zora Arkus Duntov based on his Ardun aftermarket heads for flathead Fords, before he went to Chevy to work on Vettes.
