" Original” 1934 Ford Frame Fully Boxed Car Logo: Clay Smith Cams - Mr. Horsepower. The image is a caricature of legendary hot rod guru Clay Smith (1915-1954), well known for his red hair. The “Mr. Horsepower” legacy began in the early 1930's with camshafts that were literally hand-ground by Clay Smith to high performance specifications.

His technical expertise was recognized by the industry and racers were mesmerized by the overall performance of his products. Although he specialized in camshafts, his high-performance engines were setting world speed records. Engine: 1955 Dodge Red Ram Hemi (Est 183-193 HP). The engine starts right up every time and provides a " classic"

hemi sound through the straight headers dumped just in front of the suicide doors. Dodge's Red Ram Hemi was third in the company's increasingly successful series of Hemispherical-combustion-chambered V-8 engines: Chrysler's Fire Power Hemi displaced 331 cubic inches and churned out 180 horsepower when it was introduced in 1951; a year later, it was De Soto's turn, and its 276-cu in Hemi also put out 180hp.

It had been 20 years since an eight-cylinder had been available in a Dodge, but when its version launched for the 1953 model year, it was rated at 140 horsepower from 241 cubic inches and 7.1: compression. In '54, compression was bumped to 7.5:1 and the power rating rose as well, to

150hp in Dodge's 40th anniversary year. Dodge's Red Ram Hemi had the smallest bore center distance of any of Chrysler Corporation's Hemi engines, at 4.1875 inches.

Did it work? As an engineering triumph, you bet. Though Hemi-headed engines had been used by racing and high-end brands in the pre-war era, it took Chrysler to bring them to mainstream America in the post-war era. Among other advantages: The shape of the combustion chamber allowed a central spark plug location for more efficient fuel ignition, and valve sizes grew because they didn't rub shoulders with one another, as they did in conventional engines. A better burn and bigger valves meant more power.

Chrysler's Hemi weighed in at the same 331-cu in displacement as the mighty Cadillac V-8, and the Mopar put out 20 more horsepower. And Dodge dropped theirs into every body style it offered: coupe, sedan, wagon, convertible, whatever. Displacement grew rapidly, as did Dodge's cars, through the 1950s: an overbore in 1955 brought displacement to 270 cubes and 150 hp. The Century's hemispherical V-8 lasted into the mid-1980s. Since that time, the term Mopar has basically become synonymous in automotive circles with any Chrysler-built vehicle, which would include Chrysler, Dodge, Ram, Plymouth, Imperial and De Soto.
