If its in am imperial, its likely a 392.
Core value, $1000-1500 if its 57 or 58, depending on the condition. More if its nice.
392 has a longer stroke then the 354/331. Cranks are premium $$$.
You could part then engine out for more than double the $1500 figure. Do the valve cover say imperial?
Single 4bbl carb?
Adjustable rockers are worth $1000 by themselves, but I dont beleive the imperial got solid lifters.
Carb, valve covers and rockers are all missing.
You sure its in an imperial? Had that engine been in a 57 300 car, the dual 4 bbl intake, valve covers with the "bumps" and the mecha rocker gear would be the high $$$ items someone would pull. Seems they took what would be the "good" stuff from a 57 300 letter series car.
With those items missing, assuming its a core, $1000.
Its ABSOLUTELY from a mid 40's Imperial. I'm looking at the car! Someone did mention a "300" series.
as common as engine swapping was back in the day it wouldn't surprise me that it was in a 40's Imperial. just get the #'s off of the top of the block and you will know exactly what it is.
i put a 354 Hemi in a 72 Plymouth years ago, talk about getting some looks at the local cruise-ins.

I like odd. If I had the $$ Id love to have a 354 392 hemi with a modern build and dual carbs in my Demon! I woked with a guy who had a 409 dual quad in a 69 Chevelle. I like the combo of unfamiliar with very familiar.
Keep old mopars alive.
