5.7-liter HEMI
Facts and Features: |
|
|
|
The Chrysler Group 5.7-liter HEMI® is
Elegantly Simple, Delivering Power and Fuel Economy. |
|
|
|
No other engine in U.S. history has
the heritage and recognition of the Chrysler Group HEMI®. While
completely re-engineered from the legendary 426 HEMI V-8 that
powered Chrysler muscle cars of the 1960s, the two features that
earn the new 5.7-liter HEMI power plant its HEMI name are: |
|
|
- The hemispherically shaped
combustion chamber designed to accommodate large valves and put
the spark plugs close to the center of the combustion chamber.
- The cross-flow valve
arrangement that is perpendicular to the crank-shaft centerline.

Facts and Features: |

|
- In the Chrysler 300C, Dodge
Magnum RT and the all-new 2005 Jeep® Grand Cherokee, the
5.7-liter HEMI is equipped with Chrysler Group's
Multi-Displacement System (MDS), which turns off four of the
cylinders when V-8 power is not needed, giving customers up to a
20 percent improvement in fuel economy.
- The 5.7-liter HEMI engine is
an internally balanced pushrod, OHV 90-degree V-8.
- The cast iron block is a
deep-skirt design with cross-bolted main bearing caps.
- The aluminum cylinder heads
feature two valves per cylinder, hemispherical combustion
chambers with dual spark plugs and coil-over-plug ignition.
- An Integrated Air Fuel Module
(IAFM) incorporates the function of 26 individual components in
the induction and fuel system, thereby reducing cost, weight and
engine plant complexity.
- The 5.7-liter HEMI marks
Chrysler Group's first application of an electronic throttle
control in a rear-wheel-drive vehicle.
- A systematic approach to
sealing, using premium elastomeric materials and
state-of-the-art practices, helps ensure a leak-free, weep-free
engine.
- The power plant's simple and
efficient design means servicing and repairs are easier and less
costly.
