Daily commute. Weekend errands. Highway trips. The Hyundai Sonata is built to make real life easy. When the engine gets tired—loss of compression, oil consumption, or a bottom-end knock—a manufacturer-built remanufactured long block brings back the quiet idle and confident mid-range you expect.

The Gearhead Advantage: We build and test in-house, so quality control, warranty, and support come from the same team—not a broker.

Why choose a remanufactured engine?

• Known baseline: Standardized teardown, machining, and testing—no mystery history.

• Consistency: Critical clearances and surface finishes set to spec for ring seal and longevity.

• Written coverage: Clear warranty terms from the people who built your unit.

• VIN-verified fitment: We match the exact long block to your year/trim/emissions package.

Common symptoms that suggest replacement

• Persistent knocking/tapping or metallic debris in oil

• Low compression or misfires across cylinders

• Oil consumption with smoke under load or at start-up

• Overheating damage (warped head, head-gasket failure)

• Turbo models: boost-related oiling issues or shaft play (we’ll advise on best practices)

What to expect with Gearhead

• Build & test in-house: Teardown → precision machining → assembly → verification

• Fitment confirmation: We check VIN, engine code, emissions label, and sensor/reluctor needs

• Clear warranty: Written coverage included on every quote

• Nationwide shipping: To your shop or home; core return made simple

• U.S.-based tech support: Break-in guidance and installer coordination available

Installation & break-in notes (quick hits)

• Replace cooling components (thermostat, suspect radiator) if there’s any overheating history

• Use our break-in oil and procedure for the initial run-in period

• Early oil/filter change is cheap insurance—capture initial wear particles

• Turbo models: confirm clean oil feed/return lines and proper priming before first start

The Gearhead Advantage

As the manufacturer, we control the build, the test, and the warranty. Brokers and salvage suppliers can’t match that end-to-end accountability. One builder. One warranty. One support team.

Few names in American performance carry the same weight as Hemi. Short for hemispherical combustion chamber, the Hemi concept allows large valves and efficient airflow, helping an engine make serious power with durability. Chrysler didn’t invent hemispherical heads, but the company turned “Hemi” into a legend—first on the street in the 1950s, then on the track in the ’60s, and again for the modern muscle era.

First Generation (1951–1958): FirePower, FireDome, Red Ram

After wartime engineering research into high-output engines, Chrysler launched its first overhead-valve V8 with hemispherical chambers in 1951: the Chrysler FirePower Hemi. Sister brands followed—DeSoto FireDome (1952) and Dodge Red Ram (1953). These early Hemis quickly built a reputation for smooth torque, stout bottom ends, and responsiveness to hot-rodding.

By the late ’50s, displacement had grown to the 392 Hemi, famous in early drag racing for taking abuse and asking for more. Emissions concerns, rising costs, and changing market tastes ended this first Hemi era after 1958—but the legend was just getting started.

Second Generation (1964–1971): The 426 “Elephant”

Chrysler returned with a vengeance in 1964 with the race-bred 426 Hemi. Built for NASCAR and top-level drag racing, the massive heads and cross-flow ports helped the 426 dominate on ovals and quarter-miles alike. The engine earned the nickname “Elephant” for its size and power potential.

To keep it on the track, Chrysler built street versions for 1966–1971 in cars like the Dodge Charger, Coronet, Daytona, and Plymouth GTX, Road Runner, ’Cuda. These street Hemis were detuned compared to their racing cousins but still ferocious for the era. Insurance costs, fuel concerns, and new emissions rules ended production after 1971, and the 426 passed into mythology.

Third Generation (2003–Present): Modern Hemi Revival

Chrysler revived the Hemi name in 2003 with the 5.7L Hemi for trucks and performance cars. Modern Hemis moved beyond a pure hemispherical shape to meet emissions and efficiency targets, but retained the spirit: strong breathing and big-torque character. Over time, the lineup expanded:

• 6.1L Hemi (SRT): Higher-revving performance variant for early SRT models.

• 6.4L / 392 Hemi (SRT/Scat Pack): Broad, usable torque for modern muscle.

• 6.2L Supercharged Hemi (Hellcat family): Factory-supercharged performance that reshaped what “street fast” means.

Modern updates—coil-on-plug ignition, variable cam timing, MDS cylinder deactivation on some models—made these engines as livable as they are potent. Meanwhile, Mopar kept the heritage alive with crate engines (including a modern 392 and even a factory-supercharged crate options), giving builders a direct line to Hemi power.

Why Hemis Matter

The Hemi story isn’t just about numbers; it’s about design discipline and durability. Hemispherical chambers allow efficient burn, strong mid-range torque, and airflow that rewards proper head and valvetrain work. From 1950s boulevard cruisers to Top Fuel rails to modern SRTs, the Hemi has anchored Chrysler performance across generations.

Whether you’re restoring classic Mopar iron or keeping a modern daily on the road, we verify VIN fitment and back every reman long block with clear, written coverage.

Popular Hemi families we support:

Quick FAQ

Are modern “Hemi” engines truly hemispherical?
Not perfectly. Modern emissions, fuel economy, and packaging requirements led to chamber shapes that borrow from the Hemi concept while optimizing swirl, tumble, and burn. The spirit—strong breathing and efficiency—remains.

What’s the difference between 426 Hemi and 392 Hemi?
The classic 426 is the legendary 1960s race-inspired big-block. The 392 number has appeared twice: as a late-’50s first-gen Hemi displacement and again as the modern 6.4L Hemi’s marketing name. They’re different families, separated by decades and design goals.

Why do racers and restorers still chase Hemis?
Parts availability, robust bottom ends, and airflow potential. Hemis respond well to upgrades and can live long, hard lives when built and tuned correctly.

Built right. Backed right.

Few names in the automotive world carry as much weight as HEMI. Known for their unique hemispherical combustion chamber design, HEMI engines have become synonymous with raw power, durability, and performance. Whether you’re a muscle car enthusiast or a truck owner who needs reliable torque, chances are the HEMI has caught your attention.

At Gearhead Engines, we understand why these legendary engines have stood the test of time — and why drivers continue to choose them for replacements and rebuilds.

What Makes a HEMI Engine Different?

The name “HEMI” comes from the hemispherical combustion chamber. Instead of the flat-top chamber design used in most engines, HEMIs use a rounded chamber that allows for:

• Improved airflow – Fuel and air move more efficiently.

• Higher compression ratios – This translates into more horsepower.

• Better efficiency – A cleaner, more complete burn of fuel.

This design has been around for decades, but Chrysler/Dodge/Ram made it famous by putting HEMIs into cars and trucks that demanded both speed and strength.

Popular HEMI Applications

• Dodge Charger & Challenger – Iconic muscle cars known for their aggressive performance.

• Ram 1500 & 2500 trucks – Durable powerplants built for towing and hauling.

• Jeep Grand Cherokee – Offering SUV drivers muscle car power in a utility package.

• Classic Mopar cars – The 426 HEMI remains a legend among collectors and drag racers.

Why Choose a Remanufactured HEMI Engine?

Like any engine, even HEMIs wear out over time. When that happens, you have options: buy new, rebuilt, or remanufactured. Here’s why remanufactured HEMI engines from Gearhead Engines make sense:

• Precision machining – Every component is inspected and machined to OEM specs.

• Warranty-backed confidence – Industry-leading coverage protects your investment.

• Eco-friendly option – Remanufacturing reuses core components, reducing waste.

• Cost-effective – Reman engines typically cost significantly less than buying new.

Common HEMI Engine Sizes We Offer

• 5.7L HEMI – A popular choice in Ram trucks and Dodge cars.

• 6.1L & 6.4L HEMI – Found in high-performance SRT models.

• 426 HEMI – The classic powerhouse, often remanufactured for restoration projects.

Whether you’re restoring a muscle car or keeping your work truck on the road, Gearhead Engines has the HEMI solution to match.
