66 Hemi Coronet! (Kind of, but not really)

[hurmit4life]

Hey, All!

I am attaching a photo of my 66 Coronet 440 with a flippin' HUGE hemi in the engine bay.

OK...it's not a 426 hemi...but I picked up this motor today for only $50! Yeah...it was sitting in a field for years, but it sure has potential!

From the casting number, it turns out to be a 1956 330 cid DeSoto hemi. (a whopping 230 hp from the factory) Now I just need to find a 1934 Dodge pickup to put in in.
