Dodge bails on NASCAR
No one was going to run them next year anyway. Fiat factor? Of course all they have to do is replace DODGE decals with FORD decals...

Re: DeSoto Adventurer II Should Have Been Production
In '54 the Corvette was a I-6 power slug. Ford also had a Euro look sports car prototype that was Y Block powered. Wonder what could have been if they could have made these cars.

Re: NEW MEMBER / OLD HEMI
If you have a filtered air inlet up top you should rig up a PCV valve in the tube, unless it's so low, close to the oil that it'd suck oil. If so use that for the inlet & put the PCV up top.

Hot Heads sells remote thermostats for that situation. www.hothemiheads.com crankcase breathing: Is the inlet in the oil cap still being used for letting air in? Depending on how the breather you have was done, you may be able to run a PCV valve in it & run a line up to the carb, or replace/mod ...

Re: pistons and cam selection
On a 392 the C/R is good, even if it's a little lower than advertised, so the cast replacement pistons are fine. If I had a low deck Dodge or DeSoto with low C/R it would be an intirely diffrent matter. a 241 with nominal 7-7.1:1 measured out @ 6.19. :o Custom forged to what you need on something li...

Guy named Ron Ganster in Gainesville(?) Ga. uses the name "Himee Head" sells hemi parts, think some of it was PAW. Might see if he still has one.

Re: 331 Cylinder thickness
He's just saying too many want to do a max bore where in most cases they can't tell the difrence between that & a .030 job. Was your block one with 331 casting # or 354 casting #? can't recall.

Re: 331 Cylinder thickness
I am waiting on a correct size transducer for our sonic tester to test cylinder bores. We have the smaller transducer now, but it is for cylinder head ports and does not give a correct reading for bores. If there is any interest, I will post some numbers for my 56 331. I plan on boring to 354 STD b...

Re: 1953 hemi 331 engine color
You probably need photos to see if they were dropped in still silver or if they might have been repainted some other color to be sure of corectness.greg-b wrote:Thanks Guys, I'm on the right track now. They used this engine in the J2 Allards and I want to make it period correct.
