Are BMW engines "hemi's" :)

2 plugs in the chrysler hemi's back in the 60's. Danny Gear with the
Best Western motel funny car was the first I can remember doing it on these motors, he was also the first I remember running a 180 degree flat crank on the chrysler too...

the reliable folk at howstuffworks has prepared a page on how hemis specifically work

looks like mercedes has been rubbing off a little hard on the chrystler end of things......the article says that the new hemi has 2 spark plugs per cylinder.

want some ferrigner inspired 16 spark plug engine on their pickup truck. i guess that's why they made the things so unbearably loud to ride in for any extended period of time. hemmy >or= to mercedes benz pacifica.

as apparently the ford 2.3 has the 2 spark plug dealie??? weird....personally, i wouldn't buy a 4 cylinder truck that needed 8 spark plugs, but my tastes are fickle and conceited :^)
