Cutaway early style Hemi?

[Ghoste]

Many of us have seen those 426 Hemi cutaways that Dodge displayed in the late 60's but my question is about the early style Firepower Hemi.  Did they make a cutaway version?  I ask because I saw one at Columbus 2 or 3 years ago but I never did find out if was homemade or Moparmade.  Anyone know?

Yes they did, there was one on Ebay a month or so ago.

I have seen a /6 version as well.

A slant six one too huh?  Any idea how much that one on e bay went for?

My high school auto shop had an old Hemi cutaway. No one knew where it came from and it had been there for a long time. I graduated in 1996 and it was still there.

Here's a pic of an early cutaway Hemi, too small to get much detail.

with those flat top pistons in those early Hemis it's a wonder they even made any power at all.

several years ago i got into a huge nasty debate with a 426 Hemi builder at a large Mopar meet about the factory early Hemi piston design. when i left he still had it in his mind the factory early Hemi pistons had a dome on them like the 426.

i guess he never rebuilt or had the heads off of an earlier Hemi.

Could he have been just thinking about replacement pistons?  Those certainly came in a domed configuration.

or an NHRA built early hemi ?

it's really hard to tell if that was what he was thinking or not. i made a point to say factory stock pistons a few times during the conversation and it started getting ugly. i keept my composer and just walked away.
