i was looking at this pic of a 2.4L head (http://www.rsmracing.com/twincamportedhead.jpg) and something croosed my mind...."that looks like a HEMI, but DOHC." any one else have any comments?

Well, yeah youre right. Really, everyone copied the hemi design, and also, itmakes good sense to have the plugs in the position they are with 2 Cams overhead.

Plus, the combustion chamber is not as highly "domed" as the hemi heads, nor are the valves at such extreme angles to each other as the old hemis were...plus they had virtually no turbulence! (ie, perfect for forced induction!)

all information was provided by the "Mopar Maniac"
