Another WIW?

[Coyote Jack]

I have a line on a late 50's 392 Hemi. There are no holes in the block, it is not siezed and has been filled to the top with deisel oil for the last 10 years or so. It was a running engine when it was taken out of the truck it was in. It is a single 4bbl engine. I havn't had a chance to see the engine yet but will be in a few days. Then I will have some block numbers.

So what do you think?

I would venture a guess and say roughly $1500-$3000.

There is a dual-quad Letter series 392 on E-bay right now...buy it now price? $21000 :salute:

I just picked up one a couple of months back. A 58 392 from an Imperial. The block looks real good but the heads are pretty rough cause the dipstick let it set with the valve covers off and all kinds of crap got in it. Don't know what I'm gonna do with it yet but I couldn't pass it up. Price was right even if the heads aren't great.

I`ve only seen a few in the last couple years and (carb to pan), they were in the $1500- 2500 range.

Be aware that lots of folks call EVERY 50s hemi a 392. I am not sure that any trucks came with them, but there were 354 powered trucks. Try this link.
