-> What vintage/displacement are these engines?  Jeezz, I didn't think
-> there was a Hemi anywhere still working for a living earning a daily
-> wage, just like Walter P. Chrysler intended.
WEll, they're getting rarer and rarer as the lifts get to be excessive,
but the ones that are still "hard workin at the mill" around here are
mostly the big displacement (389? cu in) late 60's engines, pumping
shallow lift from the river or a surface canal.  Most of the deep wells
out in west Texas have been taken over by the big CAT Diesels after they
got to trashing a Caddilac engine in one season.  The hemis would stand
the strain but they just didn't have the WHOMP to produce the lift.  I
think my uncle said he could wear out three Caddie engines to one Hemi,
but the Cads were pumping a bit more water.
I know where there's a big Hemi that's so covered with dirt and grease
that you have to KNOW what it is or you couldn't tell....  Hasn't been
serviced or overhauled in ten years but it was pumping this summer.
Sounds GOOD too running flat out against the governor with 18" straight
stacks!  It's on Propane.
