DeSoto w/ S2T block number?

A website visitor has a HEMI that is, according to both head and intake
castings, a '55 291 DeSoto. Yet the number pad says S2T, which is not
a prefix that I'm finding in my HEMI database. Does anyone recognize it?

I have no idea. I would check with your registration office. Maybe they have some advice on what will need to happen or what you need to be on the look out for?

How about adding a 6-71 blower? Or a 8-71?
