by Ross Mills

Chevrolet’s small block engines, led by Ed Cole’s 265 cid V8, have been roaring through history since 1955, starting with the Corvette and Bel Air. Known as the “Mighty Mouse,” this engine quickly became a race circuit favorite. From the 283’s groundbreaking 1 hp per cubic inch to the legendary 350, these engines have powered everything from sports cars to boats.

Chrysler Hemi Power- Hemispherical by design-1 of 5

by Ross Mills

Chrysler’s Hemi engine, known for its hemispherical combustion chamber design, first roared into life in 1951 as the “FirePower” and hasn’t lost its spark since. Though not unique, the Hemi’s design, resembling an over-enthusiastic bowl, boasts efficient airflow, boosting horsepower but occasionally coughing up unburnt gases like an old man with a cigar. Originally an experimental military marvel, the Hemi keeps revving high with its distinctive wide valve covers and a penchant for high-octane fuel.
