Stellantis has been phasing out the Hemi engine from various models, making it darn near extinct. However, the 6.4-liter Hemi V8 might be saved at the last minute from execution. When SEMA 2024 opened on November 5th, a Hemi-powered Ram 2500 Power Wagon concept was unveiled, hinting that the Hemi might have a stay of execution. Killing the Hemi, not to mention the Charger, Challenger, and Chrysler 300, might have turned out to be one of the biggest automotive blunders of the 21st century.

They just introduced all-new valve cover designs and will debut them at SEMA 2024. Ford Performance will be exhibiting them in Las Vegas in its booth #54037 in the West Hall.
