302 HEMI Cross Ram on Ebay?

[Salvatore]

Doesn't Charlie own that car?

[Keith Tedford]

Weren't these more of a canted valve head like the big block Chevies, as opposed to the Chrysler Hemi valve train layout?

Keith, I don’t know why some call it a Hemi head. They used to call them “semi hemi” head or porcupine head

[Mark_C]

This auction is for a cross ram setup with a manifold top from a hemi (or porcupine) head setup. Except for the part number the top appears to be the same as a "standard" crossram top. If a standard cross ram setup is going in the $7500 range it looks like the top alone is worth about 3K (without reaching the reserve).

Unless your one of the 3 guys that has a hemi cross ram base, and are missing the top, is this worth anything to anyone else?

Al Maynard has...or had...a 302 Hemi motor installed in a silver 69 Z28. I last saw it sitting in Floyd Garrett's muscle car museum.

Pretty impressive piece.

Keith: Wayne Guinn's book "Camaro Untold Secrets" has a good section on the valve arrangement and design of the head. Interesting reading and some cool photos too.
