alternative engines, now Hemi

[Todd....!!]

Sounds like a painful operation to me!!

ALSO, BTW - FYI - Found a HUGE IMPERIAL cruisin in the junk yard
universe this weekend, and it has a HEMI IN IT!!

HOWEVER it's an old 50's or early 60's at the latest car, I can't tell
what year it is.. but the distributor is in the rear of the hemi, which
means that is ain't a 426(426's dist is in the front like the newer
mopar BB's)  So the question now is, is this engine truly a 392 or just
a 331...?

EITHER way, it IS a hemi and it is HUGE!  NO ONE will be able to tel the
diff tween it and a REAL 426 hemi except for the distributor sittin in
the back!

Anybody know how to tell what year the car is or whether or not the
engine is a 331 or 392 hemi?

They only want $300 for it, and that's still negotiable...

Will be checkin for info on how to tell what this engine is...

May just have ta pull a head to check the bore and pull the crank to
check the stroke or somethin...  the bore should tell me nuff?  Will be
gettin the specs and differences tween the 331 and 392 as well...

LATER!
