Thanks Gary, seems some folks just don't like 331's! lol Well, ol Jay isn't buying any more hemi's after what Mama's grand piano just cost! But,...
George, I already have the 331, can't afford to be buying another hemi. Or are you suggesting buying a 354 crank instead of a 331 crank?
If I wanted to build a street blown 331 (I have a '55 C300 block and heads), do I have to go into a stroker or can I build from the 331 using just...
lmao!!!!
Thanks much for the tips Gary, I know we'll be talking more about this as time goes on. Thanks for the "Scat" and "Cat" references. I saw these...
I checked out his website, but couldn't find it listed in the archives.
Gary, I agree that its not worth a small dollar savings if they are not the right part. Dyer's website recommends press fit pins up to 12lbs...
What is the difference between "forged" pistons and "drop forged" pistons? I was looking at 331 specs and they said the stock pistons were drop...
Gary Stauffer of Quality Engineered Components is making header flanges for our '56 Dodge 315 Poly V8. I believe these will also fit the '57 325...
The mounts in my '56 Dodge use three small bolts (on each side) and lock washers on each. Is it okay to use lock washers if one is using three...
My '56 Dodge 315 mounts use the three short bolts as originally used. That's how I planned to use the Hurst mounts I have for the 331.
Just getting to that point now jimi, though I haven't got the heads checked out yet to see if they've been rebuilt or just really clean. Just...
Yes the one I have is an original rebuild, but was stated that it is hi flow, I don't know what that entails and hopefully does not mess up my build.
Your right guys, Hollander is like that and they do say you have to machine for the pilot bearing if using an auto tranny crank on a manual tranny...
It is a fun project though! And since I must get off my feet at least half the day, I have plenty of time. At least now I know the oil pump is...
Scooter, (and anyone else) have you seen the guy who sells on eBay reconditioned blowers (w/o drives or w/ for xtra dough) for around $600-$1,200?...
Yeah Scooter, I expect Hemi stuff to be expensive, but was just trying to get a range I should be looking at. 73RR is going to get back to me on...
Be sure and pull the fenders and look real good at the perimeter frame. These things are known for rusted and rotted frames. How do I know? I...
Luicky, very cool looking ride there. I had a baby blue '64 back in '81 and it is the best highway cruiser I've ever had. You look down at the...
A friend of mine is building a '56 Dodge suburban wagon and bought a '98 Dakota for parts but said the '80's Oldsmobile front clip went in at...
Scooter, I read your thread and see the problem. Those truck crankshafts '56 331 and '57 354 won't fit the early 331 blocks or the '55 331, only...
I went out to look at the part number on the oil pump I bought and it is a rebuilt original 55-56 chrysler oil pump, part no. 1323361. That's...
There's a guy selling 331 rods on eBay right now for $24.95 + $8.50 each. Says they're checked for cracks and wear and also shot peened. Is this...
Hollander's list 51-53 - early 54 V8 as Part No. 1323335 w/ forging nos.: 1323335,1523335,1619647, 1635690 late 54 and 55 as Part No. 1613125 w/...
Okay, Okay!! Got the picture! LOL I think that's the direction I may go in and then save up money for another hemi that gets blown!
73RR, are you still suggesting using a 392 crank? Or just use stock 331 (or stock 354?) crank and rods and buy 10:1 forged pistons? I just want...
Been reading and listening on cranks, pistons, and rods, so how about I throw this out for the group to consider. It seems 392 cranks are very...
I got a set of those old Hurst red mounts in the misc box with my 331 Hemi. I'm gonna see if they will work, though seeing all those cool mounts...
I'm going to show my lack of Hemi knowledge here, but what are those dual plug heads? Is this a stock head? Or some awesome machining work?
Very nice wagon melsfine! I have a '56 CRL with the Poly 315. A question, is yours a Coronet Wagon? Or a Royal or Custom Royal? (I don't...
