Can anyone identify these hemi heads?

Post by socrates »

hello there,
I've never posted on here but I was trying to find out some info. I have some old hemi heads that I have no idea what year it comes from or anything of that sort. I'm going to post some pictures and hope someone can help out with any info at all! thanks my grandfather passed away and collected a lot of old car parts and I am trying to drum up money to fix the house. Any help would be great.
Thank you, See pics below.

Late 1954 to early 1955 Desoto heads. The casting number is 1613608 (your image is upside down)

Straight from Leo's book...

Value? Haven't a clue, but I'm sure others here will chime in.
