Thread: Dodge Red Ram 241 cube Hemi

Tweet

This engine has been discussed on the Forum in the past and is of considerable interest for a comparison between a Ford flathead 239 with Ardun heads as shown on oogabooga:

and the early Chrysler hemi. It turns out that maybe Chrysler Corp. just developed the hemi engine based on the Ardun design, but it also looks like the Dodge 241 is a five-main-bearing knockoff of the Ford-Ardun 239. Historical research points to just a concept copy rather than a direct machined copy, but in the interests of having a "hemi" and reasonable gas mileage your engine might just be worth the $800 you ask even if parts are a little hard to find. Therefore it is to your advantage to enhance the sale with some photos of the heads and the five-main bottom. What I am really saying is that I would like to see the pictures and maybe you will sell it quicker?
