Dads old 56 CORONET

It should be a 270", same as mine. You can bolt on Hemi heads (only the small cid Hemi's though)... It's not as easy as just bolting them on though. The 270 is a good engine, but nothing to brag about. The value is much, I know I wouldn't want another one laying around even though I'm going to keep mine when I start to resto/rod mine. In a perfect world mine will end up with a 440 and a 5spd. I'm sure i'll end up with a 4spd for a while. You could check out forwardlook.net for more info. I would say most of the people over there lean to a bone stock resto. though, but they have alot of good info and are good people. If you need any help feel free to ask, I'm more than happy to help if I can. Are you going to keep the hood and trunk trim?
