> The Dodge display at the TX State Fair had a cutaway engine.  I
checked it out carefully and the head design looks very similar to the
old Hemi design.  It has a big intake manifold on top for the fuel
injection system but otherwise looks like the old engines.  I actually
expected something more modern, maybe OHC or 4-valves.  (If they put 4
valves in it and OHC's, then it would almost be a SHO engine.)

What does it take to get you to understand that there is nothing modern
about OHC or 4-valves per cylinder? Put the rice away. 
I will agree if they made it double overhead cam, turbo charged 200 hp
it would sell ten times better than it will with one cam, 2 valves per
cylinder and 350hp.
