The 426 HEMI Was So Dangerous Chrysler Tried to Kill It Themselves

"This is the story of the 426 HEMI. The engine the racing authorities banned. The engine the insurance companies feared. The engine the government regulated into extinction.
And the engine that its own creators — the engineers at Chrysler — tried twice to kill before it ever reached the people who needed it most.
What you are about to hear is not in the press releases. It is not in the official Chrysler history. It is in the dyno sheets, the NHRA rulebooks, the insurance actuarial tables, and the testimony of the engineers who were in that factory in 1963.
Three chapters. Each one reveals a different institution that tried to stop the 426 HEMI. Stay until chapter three — because chapter three is the one where Chrysler looked at the most powerful engine they had ever built and chose to lie about it. In public. In writing. For seven years."
