It's part of the Mopar family, so it's cool. If you can't find a Hemi, maybe a Cross Ram? I think those look awesome on hot rods.

I agree but I'm set on a hemi

 

[moparstuart]

bought this to make a passenger side door mirror out of
the drivers mirror will be a charger flip top

 

[Basket case]

Ray will get a chuckle outta that....

 

[moparstuart]

here is the one for the other side mirror

Don't forget about the Dodge and DeSoto hemis. Sometimes they can be had much more reasonably. Plus, the Dodge Red Ram was made all the way up to 325 kyoobs and the DeSoto's largest was a 345. Nuthin wrong with either of those. I like the Dodge Red Ram Hemis because they are physically a lot smaller than the Chrysler engines and can fit places the Chryslers cannot. And don't think parts are not available. Cruise the HotHeads site sometime. Just somethin to think about.

Here's you a couple of decent deals.

I know you said Hemi, but check this out.

It's a Super Red Ram poly. Look at them saw tooth valve covers. That would rock in a rat rod. Also, I am almost certain that like their Chrysler counterparts, the Dodge Hemi heads will bolt right on.

I got luck and found a guy who builds lots of early Hemi's but he just does it for fun in his spare time

so he is building me a 392 , exactly the way i want it all set up to bolt right in and right at my budget
the yellow valve cover is the one he is building for me , getting a modern 340 high volumn oil pump and mild lobe isky cam
a 350 tranny adapter and modern electronic ignition distributor .

 

[RustyRatRod]

Cool. Glad you located one. I just rebuild my oil pump. The 331 is different. The modded 340 pump will fit, but it only puts out like 3% more than the stock Hemi pump, so I just rebuilt mine. What's the guys name that's doin it? I bet he's a member over on The Hamb.

 

[roadrunnerman]

That motor is just freaking cool.

that guy has got some cool early hemi's... a 392 Hemi will be cool as hell in that Nash/Rambler....

 

[Basket case]

nice stuie

mine will be pretty stock 30 over to clean up the bore and a slightly bigger cam and high volumn oil pump. Setting it up to run the current one wire GM alternator and the GM HEI electronic distributor just to keep it an easy switch over and in by budget. I'm sure In the future I will up grade to some kind of cool looking multi carb intake of injection system but for now just a single 4 barrel edelbrock .

AlkyDigger on Ebay has some awesome cool Hilborn/EFI conversions. he really knows his stuff.

Still needing to make a passenger side door mirror < i found a cool mirror on ebay to mate with my ford GT flip top gas cap to make a passenger mirror

 

[RustyRatRod]

The 392 goes about 750 pounds dry. They ain't light.
