Chrysler 426 CI Hemi V8 – 425 Horsepower
The Hemi is one of the most well-known engines in the world and still proves to be a popular choice. Dodge had some of the best examples of the Hemi under the hood, and the Charger R/T was the most notable. The 426 Hemi had a whopping 425 horsepower, taking on just about every competitor effectively. The thing that most enthusiasts enjoyed about the 426 Hemi was the relatively easy process of upgrading it (via Driving Line).
The Charger R/T was an excellent muscle car and its Hemi was at the forefront of reasons why. Chrysler’s design and engineering gave us some of the best rides on the road. During the muscle car era, this was especially true. V8 engines redefined the automotive era, and for a long time were the only thing powerful enough to propel such heavy vehicles. When it came to steady American power and performance, the Hemi was an awesome choice.
