Ohhhh yea! :D

It's a '53 331 hemi industrial high nickel block motor. It's gonna get bored and stroked to a 392, 8-71 blower, and a Hilborn mechanical injection ;)

It'll be a street/strip car so it'll see some street use.

I thought it was a 392, but Its GOING to be a 392 :lol: nice!!!

EDIT**
Jon once again on Jakes computer.

Steve, is that like the ones in the Studebakers?

that looks like a smooth cover Hemi, man I havent seen one of those in years, those were around like the desoto's time.whered you find that? and why you gonna make it a 392? thats a rare engine, dont be messing it up.

i like the headders

x2 those are begging for turbos

haha poor last hemi... didnt have a chance in the truck with melissa driving...

OMFG so true..... twincharge the bitch!

Oh man Desoto, maybe that it what I was thinking.

that was not a hemi. mr 1le killer. it was a 440 wedge. and its still perfectly fine, thank you very much.
