    Looks like a Lincoln V-8, But Cadillac exhaust exited through the top like that. Go take a picture of the front of that DeSoto. Hood up or down is optional. Im gonna look again.

    Whatever it is, it needs to be in a fenderless rod!

    Ok, here is the real answer. 1932 Pontiac, or 1930-1931 Oakland.

    1932 Flat-head V-8. The first V-8 engine that Pontiac offered was in 1932. It was the same 251-cid 85-hp flat-head V-8 used in Pontiac’s almost-dead parent make, Oakland, during 1930 and 1931.
