its a "HEMI"

[ratnasty]

This might not be the right place to post this but its to cool. I did some work for a guy on his truck that had set for 5 years and it would not run so I rebuilt the carb ,put on a cap , rotor , fuel pump and plugs . I drained the varnished gas and was going to charge him 200.00 but he gave me 100.00 and this engine . I could not pass it up , I think I got a gooood deal. Its a 1951-53 331 "HEMI" . I have 6-71 blower that just might find its way on the engine and build a street rod this summer

Great pictures for reference and I would have nabbed it too

Sweet deal. I used to have a 392 and wished I had not gotten rid of it.

Never say no to a Hemi, no matter the pedigree! The 354 heads are the best flowing of the bunch (if I remember right), and I know Hot Heads makes some killer stuff for the whale motor.

Then again, I guess my screen name gives my parciality to these motors away huh?!

Absolutly cool! Love to see that beast back into its glory!! Jody

PAW out of Cali has separate catalog just for the old Hemi's. You can even buy a complete engine to assemble and one version is even supercharged.

Hey Chuck....I would have taken the deal too, I use to have a 331,352,and a 392 Hemi and had to regretfully sell them off. My 392 only had 42,000 miles on her and was a factory 2 4s on it. It was a real bummer to have to give it up.
