Does anyone know if Olds ever produced an actualy demo version of the hemi. If so, is it in private hands or at a museum. Any help would be great as I have wondered this for many years. God if that motor was only put into production.

 

did olds ever release the hemi heads to the pubic, or did an aftermarket company ever produce these.

Thanks for the info. WOW What I would do, what we all would do for one of those.

 

I presume you're talking about about W-43. It is not a hemi.

Here is more info on it from Wild About Cars:

OK, Kurt, technically you are correct, but to most folks, any engine that doesn't use a wedge-style combustion chamber is considered a "hemi". Yeah, that's probably more "truth decay"...

 

It would look good in the garage next to my ZR-1

 

I saw it at the Ransom E Olds museum in Lansing Michigan about 10 years ago.

 

Very nice looking motor! Obviously not a driver because it's way too clean . OOPS, I mis-spoke, there's grease or something on your cooling fan motors....

 

The car has 30k miles and has seen both rain and snow. Just never salt! I take it to work a couple times a month. I enjoy driving it, but mostly, I am saving it for my kids.
