How many hemi owners on the board

I have a 1953 331 in a Chrysler New Yorker . Right now the car is a place to store the engine . I plan on powering a 29 Chevy roadster with it some day.

 

Just bought this one. Picking it up Sat. A bit rough here and there but the desoto hemi runs smooth w/40 lbs oil pressure. Hooked to 39 Ford box and 40 rearend... NO nailing it unless you just want to do it ONCE!

I'll know more when it's home. Hoping for good weather and safe trip.

 

great score!

 

This thread has been going for years, pardon me if I posted this before.

Just how BIG is an old HEMI???

Well, that's a FULL GROWN GERMAN SHEPHERD standing on the valley cover!

 

Only have one, but want more. Mine is a 57 392 that has just been completely rebuilt and hopped up and is going in my 32 ford.

 

Nice find , here's to a safe trip bringing it home.

 

Mine is a fresh 392 hemi with a full manual 727.
Sounds like alot of fun to me.

 

Here's my blown '58 Chrysler 392 that will be slated to run in the rails of my '31 Chevy 5 window coupe - HEMI IN A CHEVY - has a wicked "ring" to it!! When she's finished, she'll have candy metalflake paint, white rolled and pleated interior, etc!

 

My wife has one in her 2008 300C. Does that count? probably not.

 

Here's my baby Hemi I built for a modified I'm planning

 

Bought the Green Grenade last month....

 

That chop looks wicked!

BTW, I got my 40 cpe home safely yesterday. NEAT to be driving a hemi powered 40 Ford cpe! This is my first hemi powered hot rod in over 45 yrs of owning cars.

Thanks for the kind words on the score and the good wishes for kind weather worked great! Thanks to all. Al

 

I just picked up my '53 331 that I bought a few months ago. Not sure what I'm going to do with it yet, but it's in really good shape.

Here's a pic of what I want it to look like

 

I've got a baby 291 in a 55 Desoto. It started after sitting in a scrap yard outside of Phoenix for 10 years.

 

In a Polyhead chamber the valves are canted, the valves are not canted in the Gen.III head, also Polyheads have a single rocker shaft as opposed to double rocker shafts.

 

Industrial 331 in my 34. Anybody have a oil filler tube that they want to get rid of?

 

If the chamber is not a symetrical hemisphere but, rather, adjacrnt hemispheres, it is a polyspherical chamber regardless of the positioning of the valves. The Gen III heads have polyspherical chambers.

 

Here's mine I just finished - 1958 Chrysler 392. Should be in the '34 in the next few weeks. http://blown34.com

 

Heres Mine, 56 354 Industrial, Crager Intake Four 48's, Came Off of The Front Of A Locomotive Running A Snow Blower, Had 6:1 Compression, Dished Pistons, And A Oil Heated 1bbl Carb, .I Have 18K Miles On It Now Runs Great

 

Very cool

 

I've got 2 but I'm trying to get rid of them!

 

1 old crusty 270 dodge hemi here

 

3 Desotos and I haven't done a damn thing with any of them.

 

Just one 54 model 241 Hemi,its waiting on a money train to drop off a bag so we can order from Hot Heads.........................YG

 

OK Kerry says its a pent roof, DeSoto says its a poly head, so I guess its a pent roof poly head. What ever it is it makes power!

 

I have 5 hemis. Two Desoto (330 and 341) and 3 Chrysler (2-331 and a 354).

The 1956 354 is headed for the machine shop on Monday. The other four are just playing cards in the garage.

I don't have a car to put them in!!!!

C'mon guys, help a fellow out... he is practically giving these away...

.

 

I have two 392's a '57 and a '58. the '58 is in my '51 Ford coupe now. The other was in it, but needs a rebuild/balance. ...maybe a good motor for a '29 highboy coupe, someday?

 

Same deal here. I also have an overdrive trans attached to it that'll need some loving and a wad of cash as well.

Good thing the flathead in my 54 runs like a clock, cuz it's gonna be a minute til i get to the 241.

 

I have this Desoto 276. Looking for a trans adapter as we speak...73RR?
