BobbyBa: There are only 9 1970 Hemi Cuda verts out there. So, if it is one of the originals, he spent over $150,000 for it. Either he has a lot of extra clams on hand, or he got a clone.

Hemi-Hemispherical combustion chamber. The 426s had domed pistons and angled valves, that's what made it a Hemi- Half circle (domed pistons). However, if you have looked at what the new pistons look like on the new Hemi's I believe it's a vaste improvement in design and it definitely looks cooler too.

Yeah, the term has lost it's edge these days. Kinda like the "where's the beef" ads.
Just wait til Dodge makes the 6.1L version soon. Then where will we be? Guess we need ESL ( english as a second language ) lessons or a "Hemi for Dummies" book soon.
