Re: 331, 354, 392 Exhaust manifolds

Has anyone ever looked at the size of the outlet on these manifolds? It looks so small to work with a heavy-breather like the 392. I understand that they will interchange among all the years. What about headers? The best flowing OEM mans are the "4 bolt" mans used on 300s & Chr truck ...

Re: 56' 331 Hemi - octane gas?

According to this site it is officially 7.5 C/R, and some hemis, when measured, have measured up to close to a full point lower than posted C/R, so it could be anywhere from 6.6 to 7.5. Should run on 87 w/o any problems. If you're where Sunoco sells 85 it would probably be good on that.

Re: Need help identifing hemi

VT 350 is a 331 truck Hemi. Basically like the '54 car engine. the '54 4 bl car hemi intake should bolt right on. Don't know what year it is, if the heads have round ex ports you may want to look for newer heads. The '54 car heads bolt on, think the 55 331 & '56 354 heads will work with a locati...

You can see in the bottom pic that it has the tall/narrow crossover. Hot Heads intake is designed to seal that style crossover, or weld it up. Some truck heads have the square car style crossover.

Re: 1955 desoto 291

You'd still have the risk of loss in shipment, but..check with Gary at Quality Engineered Components. May be a bit cheaper & if originality isn't a problem he can change out the hub to take a modern fan.
