Hemi Head Z/28
Back in 1996 or 1997 at the Silver Auction at Hot August Nights in Reno there was a 1969 Chevrolet Camaro Z/28 with factory experimental Hemi heads up for bid. Does anyone know anything about this car? The car was allegedly owned by Reggie Jackson.

Re: Hemi Head Z/28
Was it Yellow and did it have a Cross ram?
If so I believe Charley Lillard owns it. According to CHP,there will be an upcoming article about it soon. Charley?? |

There was also a hemi head 69 at Floyd Garrett's a while ago. Don't know if it's still there.I was there to check out Jim's 67 yenko and it was in the corner. If I can remember it was a crossram.Call Floyd.

Re: Hemi Head Z/28
I have a Yellow one but it was never at Reno. Reggie owns a Silver one. It was probably his. I go every year and I never saw it there though.

Re: Hemi Head Z/28
Smokey Yunick talked about those heads in his book. They look more like a semi Hemi or Porcupine big block design head. They also look very cool. There is nice engine picture of Charlie's on the net.

Re: Hemi Head Z/28
Somebody had a set of these heads on Ebay last year. I was seriously thinking about buying them to put on my JL8 car but after talking to Charley about some of the hard to find parts I decided not to pursue it. You need to find a crossram base for them and I think the distributor is different too. Very coo, racing inspired parts, but according to Wayne Guinn's book, they didn't flow any better than the stock heads ported.
