TRANSFORMING 5.7 LITERS INTO 100 PERCENT DEPENDABILITY: PUTTING THE
INCREDIBLE HEMI
®
V8 TO THE TEST. When it comes to the HEMI V8, we’ll concede:
we’re bold to the point of audacity. For Dodge, there can be no compromise.
Second place in the public eye is really not an option. When you’ve got an engine
that carries everything demanded of the HEMI V8 — payload, passengers, and
above all, a world-famous reputation for power and quality — you do what it takes.
Including, from time to time, destroying the very engines we are so proud to build.
The development of the world-respected HEMI V8 encompassed testing that took it
beyond expectations of conventional usage. Try day-long time trials at 98% output,
or utilizing the HEMI V8 at maximum torque in real-world situations, or testing every
system — computer interface, electrical, electro-mechanical — in an ongoing
series of tear-downs and rebuilds until it’s as perfect as an engine can get. It’s all
connected: HEMI V8 power ➔ Dodge quality ➔ Ram durability ➔ your satisfaction.

THE HEMI V8 HORSEPOWER AND TORQUE CHART: CONSIDER IT A MAP TO
THE WORLD OF PERFORMANCE. Put HEMI V8 power out there, and
you’ve got to take every scenario into consideration: from big farm
equipment on a triple-axle trailer to retirees in the Rockies with their
new travel trailer. The common bond? They rely on their HEMI V8.
Combine hemispherical combustion chambers, a dual-spark plug
ignition system, aluminum cylinder heads, and one of the most
sophisticated computer interfaces available and you’ve got
outstanding power with credibility that defi nes reliability. Just follow
the curves: the long, broad torque curve (it starts at engines speeds
just above idle; it’s there from a dead stop) telegraphs exceptional
towing and take off. Contrast that with the impressive horsepower
line; it’s steadily ascending, refl ecting superb acceleration.
345* horsepower @ 5,650 rpm
375 lb-ft of torque @ 4,200 rpm
*330 horsepower @ 4,800 rpm on 3500 models.
