Default HEMI MYTH

Interesting article in this months' (August) Hot Rod magazine paying tribute to the hemi. Some of the people interviewed include Jay Leno and Don Garlits. It gets interesting when they interview Marty Schorr. He states that when he would receive a hemi press car to test drive they would almost never run right. He says a good running 440 would take it. It gets even better in the article when he says that to get the hemi running right he would take the car to Joel Rosen at Motion Performance! Although they would not put on headers(as that would alter the stock appearance) he would rejet the carbs and recurve the ignition amongst other things. Very cool how JR was the go-to guy at the time. He obviously knew how to set up a car. It would lead one to think that just about the most brutal street machines of the time were coming out of Baldwin Chev
