I picked up one of the coolest automotive-related items ever today. It is a Chrysler Industrial 354 Hemi. It was used to power a Sawmill. Still all mounted up.
The Hemi is going into my 55 Belvedere Gasser.

That's cool! Never seen one of those. Take lots of pics for historical sake. You never know, someone out there may really want it as a collectable - like those old hemi powered air-raid horns.

That is just way cool....the engine, the fixture and especially the control pannel. As mentioned take a lot of pictures. Of course it's your call, but if it was me, I think I would try to find a collector for what's left after you pull the engine. there is an old wood working machine site that this would probably generate a lot of intrest on. http://owwm.org/viewforum.php?f=1

This did come out of a local sawmill. Not sure if that was its original application though since the tag mentions spraying.

Did you pull the valve covers yet?
Likely mech valve train.
I used to care but....... things have changed

The valve covers have the raised dimples in them - so i am assuming they are adjustable.

“....Did you pull the valve covers yet?

“…….The valve covers have the raised dimples in them - so i am assuming they are adjustable……”
Not necessarily. The couple of Industrials I have both had hydraulic lifters and non-adjustable rockers, including the 354 that’s in my 57. Both had the dimpled Industrial Valve covers.
If it does have adjustables it makes it even sweeter.

Mike: Now i am curious! I will pull them tonight and see. I can live with hydraulic - but if they are adjustable that is even cooler. I will post some updates here from time to time. BUZZ SAW painted on the side of the Plymouth - i like that.
