WIW 1954 331 Chrysler Hemi

matthon said

A friend of mine has 4 hemis on a flatbed, 2 are 4 barrels, but I think he said they may be truck motors, which are different in some way.
I think he wants $1,500 each, but I don't know anything about a truck hemi, if they are truck, and different.
Has a cast in bell hemi on the floor.
Not sure if I want to get into a hemi that has been sitting forever.

Also has a 40's something car with an early hemi.

Also has a Coronet with a dual quad 345 DeSoto hemi.

That dual-quad DeSoto hemi would look real good in my 56 Belvedere.

A few years ago, a guy who lived not too far from me offered me an even trade - his 55 Coronet 2dr hardtop (in super nice shape) powered by a 56 DeSoto 341 hemi hooked up to a GM Turbo 350 trans, for my 56 Belvedere 2dr post with its original 277 poly with power pack (4-barrel carb and dual exhaust) and Powerflite. I couldn't bear to part with my Belvedere, so passed up the deal. But the Dodge was nice, and I would have just bought it outright if I didn't already have too many cars.
