Editing Pontiac V8 engine (section)

===427 Hemi SOHC===
This was a project started with the end goal of building a 427 Hemi.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://tamrazs.wordpress.com/2014/01/08/pontiac-experimental-v8-427-hemi-tohc/|title=Private Site|website=tamrazs.wordpress.com}}</ref> Pontiac asked Mopar (Chrysler, Dodge, Plymouth) for help in designing it and making it work. Surprisingly, Mopar actually agreed and sent over several of the engineers that designed both the 392 and 426 Hemi. The goal of making a Pontiac Hemi succeeded but the engine was never produced.

==== Features ====
* Thin-wall, cast aluminum block
* {{cvt|4.342|x|3+3/4|in|mm|1|adj=on}} bore x stroke, 8 cylinders, each having a bore of 4.342 inch and a stroke of 3.75 inch, results in a displacement of 444.21 cubic inches (7,279.34 cc); for the Pontiac OHC 427 Hemi refers to it as a "TOHC" and lists the bore at 4.257 inch—which, with a stroke of 3.75 inch, results in a displacement of very slightly more than 426.99 cubic inches (very slightly more than 6997.124 cc).<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.wallaceracing.com/hemi-1.html|title=Pontiac Hemi-Head Story - Wallace Racing|website=www.wallaceracing.com}}</ref>
