Make all the Joe Dirt comparisons you want, you have no idea how much I love that car.

Me too. I grew up in Greensboro, NC. I used to see one when I was being bussed across town. I was probably about 9 years old and I wanted the car then.

People will argue that it's 426 cu. inches, but I've always seen it as 7.0 liters, which is 427 cu. inches.

Round air cleaner means you’ll have to wait until April 40th. You’ll be waiting a long time.

And if you do the math: 425.587629791 cubic inches.

Technically speaking it’s not big block day - it’s 4/27. A Superbird has a 440 or 426 Hemi, no 427.

Or 6.97413172699 liters.

My car has a 2,997cc engine. It doesn’t say 2.997 liters on it, it says 3.0 liters. Everyone rounds up.

Go to a Mopar meet or forum and ask them about the 427 Hemi. See how well that goes. It has always been known as a 426 because you round 425.587 to 426. Not 427. That’s what happens when you round then convert then round again.

426 is new to me. I’ve always heard 427. If the Mopar enthusiasts also built the engine, were engineers at Dodge, I’ll believe them.

I have never heard of anyone calling that generation of Hemi anything but a 426.

Are you just trolling now? Just look up the bore and stroke and do the math... Note the lack of “7 liter”. I can’t make this any easier.

Not trolling, I’ve legitimately heard 427 Hemi my whole life. Let’s not turn this into an FP shitstorm, okay?
