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...

Looks like they forgot Quality Engineered Components.

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.

That should add to parts confusion....

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.

'48 & '60 Plyms with 331s

Where's the oil fill?

Forgot..welcome to the world of Hemis, & we're here to help you on your journey from The Dark Side!

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 ...

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...

Go here & start reading!

Hemis don't need as big a cam as a wedge.

As was said about engine size, if you don't have a list of casting numbers & use codes, post them here & we'll tell you what you got, unless your sure! :D A 10:1 hemi can run on the same octane that a 9:1 wedge does, should be good. Part supplyers: Quality Engineered Components, TR Waters, H...

Put em on the HAMB & HH classifieds

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.

What luck! way to go on that!

Amazing! Most people would have got a diffrent block than sleeve 8!

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.

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...

i have a junk 241 with usable heads and a good 325 with no heads, will the 241 heads work on the 325? i know the heads will physically fit and i know about the tall deck low deck stuff, but what i am asking is if the 241 heads will flow enough to feed the 325? is this a real concern, or am i just o...

SRT Brand? WTF! I could possibly see a Viper Brand if they had to change something but that wierd!

No big suprise!

Wish I was retired with a fat UAW pension!

Put "Jalopy Journal" in google, then "Hokey A*s*s Message Board" when you get there, then put "Hemi tech index" in search, start reading! The current Mopar Performance Hemi book says..Everyone who knows anything about the early hemis are retired or dead! so the book rep...

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.
