Never took off .   I guess somethings you just can't try and copy.

GM's motto " If you can't beat, copy it "  or get the Racing Association to outlaw it.

If the others didn't win some races, there'd be no need to come up with things like hemispherical heads.  Seeing GM trying to copy Chrysler engineering (and that is by no means the sole GM hemi copy incident) is a bit of a pat on the back.  I like hearing about that stuff.

THAT IS NOT EVEN A SIMI HEMI. GO TELL YOUR BUDDY THAT HE IS TOTALY WRONG. What we have here is Chevy trying to duplicate the Boss 302 Ford. I have seen the engine that is in that very car dissasembled and the heads looks just like a cleveland Ford. Canted Valves and port design. It is so close that you could use the same gaskets with a little mods. My firend that built that engine and I laughed about it being a Ford.

  BTW folks, the Ford Boss 429 is more of a Hemi than that Chevy 302.
Hey anyone ever priced a Boss 429 ??  They cost more than a 426 Hemi.

Rare is rare, I guess. What were the production figures on those anyway?

And the old 426 is more of a Hemi than the new ones.
