If all you need is a bearing or two, I would just go ahead and replace everything internally. You hav...

The Desoto

Re: After Market Intakes

:D Count me in to! I have a 54 Desoto 276 CI Hemi and I have been looking for a good set-up for the top. How about an intake with bungs for a fuel injection set-up? That is my goal in the near future. Other wise I would like a 4 bb or 3 x 2. That would work too, anything is better then an old cast i...
