It is very possible for this motor to use a "hemispherical" combustion chamber, for two reasons, one no Hemi truly has a hemispherical chamber (a COMPLETE half of a sphere) they have more like 25% of a sphere or so and the 426 had less than the older motors, two, I had a Jeep J-200 (1964) ...

:oops: I believe that a look at a good dictionary will inform one that the word infamous is used in a negative sense and is not complementary to whatever is so named, in other words you don't want to become infamous for anything!

The '56 desoto hemi's and my '58 354 in my '58 dodge semi all had the Carter Ball&Ball 2bbl. as for a picture of one it would be awhile on that, but the same carb was also used on 318 poly and LA motors well into the '80's (untill lean burn came out) so you should be able to get one from a scrap...
