Hot Rods Let’s see some more overrated Hemis!

My 331 peeking through the grille...

 

I have 3 now, all 331s. Two are 1953 extended bells and one is a 1954 4 barrel I just picked up. I am going to use this 331 Hemi as it is the only one not locked up and it runs. Plan on taking the 4 barrel intake and swapping it over. Not sure what else I should use off the 54 engine.

 

Is there a thread for current early hemi resources ? I did mine back in 1990 and I have managed to keep up with some parts sources but I'm sure I am missing something.

 

Here is a link for the Hemi tech index. https://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/threads/hemi-tech-index.118764/

 

Much appreciated.

I came across this a bit earlier , he might be a member here , lol.

This one was in a open pipes 32 roadster at Nats South, Knoxville.

 

Great pics.......but no answer regarding the "Plymouth" hemi rocker cover?..........andyd

 

Seems I saw a article somewhere showing a fellow actually
hammer forming the lettering on the covers in question. A very nifty
bit of craftsmanship. I just dont remember the source. I may have
CRS.

 

A member on here did it but can't remember who at the moment. I THINK he has them posted on a Hemi valve cover thread here on the HAMB.

EDIT: Just think I remembered who it may have been @scotty t

A Chrysler in a Chrysler. Cm-6 coupe. Its gone through several changes and upgrades over the years. The 354 was carburated then injected. The early hemi was replaced with a 498 Keith Black.

 

Bad ass car for sure. I still really want a shirt with that car on it.

 

Pm me your size and I can ship one.
S- XL 15.00 each xxl 17.00 plus shipping 13 color double sided. I have all sizes right now.

Not very exciting I know.

 

Here’s my 330 Hemi powered ‘32 roadster

I like the early engine version of this ride . I can watch the commercialized version of this engine anytime , latest and greatest multi - million dollar ... but going fast in a 354 is just so much sweeter man. Nice car either way I guess.

 

Don't have to crook your neck

 

I would still be running the 354 if the block held up. I exceeded the limits of several blocks. Nitro is hard on them. With the way they were cracking a bad accident wasn't far away. The kb can handle much more power.

 

A guy in Mr. S's shop has a old new Yorker with the 8 body trunk and the hemi

This is Three Hemi's I have had two 426 and one 392 300 HP going in a hot rod 39 Plymouth coupe

 

Here is my overrated 354. Putting one in the correct direction is overrated, too.

 

My avatar shows a mockup block, my original chassis has been strengthened with boxing plates, center x-member for a '32 Ford, ladder bars and Winters QCR, just getting my '31 back from Dale's own Hot Rod Garage - this past March. My photo enclosed shows a '58 Chrysler 392 Hemi going in soon enough.
