Siamesed Hemi Block on the street ?

mannymen · 10-10-2011, 11:12 AM

To all you Mopar guys.

A buddy of mine needs to decide on a Hemi block. Should he go with a Siamesed or NON-Siamesed block for street use only? His worries are that the Siamesed block will be harder to keep cool on the street.

Does anyone have any experience on which block to choose and which would be best to use on the street? He's looking at building a 550 plus cubic inch street hemi.

Siamesed will be fine, Can he even get a non siamesed to go 550 CI?

Phil,

I don't think so myself. I called Ray Barton to get the exact details and I'm all set now.

Non Siamese won't go 4.50 bore. Siamese is fine for street.
