354 or 392? Hemi? Questions?

392 in my 32 bantam. Long block has low compression pistons and better rods, .400 lift @ the valve solid lifter cam and dual valvesprings. That's it. Swap meet blower,Hilborn injected on gas and super mag 3. Goes 9 flat @150. Very little maintenence. Early hemis are fun!

That's awesome. ....and that's another thing people get carried away with on these engines. The cam I have in my 331 is only a .435 lift solid. The exhaust rockers are VERY long and if you get up in lift and spring pressure, you risk breaking them. It's all about reliability......and built right, they are dead reliable.
