I have one. It's in a 5 window 54 two ton truck. I'm not sure what I'm going to do with it. I have a 392 Hemi also, not sure what I'm going to do with that either.

Yeah, I found it bird dogging a 315 Red Ram a guy supposedly had for sale. I was asking some guys at a local JY about it, and they put me on to this one. I was told it was a 330 Desoto Fire Dome, got there and found a 331 instead! The guy just wanted to get rid of it, he was going to use it in a Chevy Luv truck, decided it was too much work and went SBC. I got reaaaaaaall lucky!! BTW I'm still on the trail of the 315... Block, heads, valve covers and crank for 150.00 is the story.....

I had a 66 Valiant that someone started to turn into a pro street, but I had too many projects at the time, so I sold it real cheap, your car makes me wish I had kept it. I showed my wife the pics, she said 'Wow, you should have kept yours, idiot!'   Really neat car, I love it!

A guy I know has been trying to sell me a early Fifties Coronet with a baby Hemi. Not sure of the size,241 probably. The one's with the bellhousing cast onto the back of the block. Are they worth doing? The car is original needing alot of work but complete. I keep saying it's not worth as much as he thinks (you know the type,has a Hemi so it's worth gold)  I was going to put the engine in my 49 Plymouth Deluxe and . Vinny

As far as I know only the 51-53 Chrysler 331s had the built in bellhousing. In fact in the "Tex Smith's The Complete Chrysler Hemi Engine Manual" they state DeSoto and Dodge never had the extended bellhousing. HTH Bryce

Would love a baby hemi for my rat rod p/u but cannot afford one. Very expensive to build as well. Guess I'll have to stick to 318 power...
331's especially long bell 331's are not every expensive at least here in the midwest it seems. I have seen one's in good to great shape from 500 to 1000. I cant imagine for a re-ring kit or a complete rebuilt with machine shop work would be much cheaper for a small block mopar? Its not like we are talking an early hemi vs a 350 chevy which you can build with money saved up from a couple of trips picking up aluminum cans.

Price varies depending on what engine you get and what year it is for the Chryslers. For example, the 392 is the most expensive with complete engines being a couple grand and bare unmolested blocks going upwards of $1k. Next would be the 354 which is usually half or less than a 392, and then the 331's with the later 54+ 331's being more valuable than the early 331 extended bell motors. Rebuilt kits are in the $1500+ range with crank, rings, pistons, cam and gaskets. This doesnt include the additional cost of a front chain cover to allow for a BBC water pump to be used.
Really depends on what was found and what condition it is in, I am not positive but I believe one of the guys from RM mobarn was trying to sell a 331 longbell engine for $500 and it took awhile.

I has the water pump housing and found a guy on ebay from jersey that had a rebuit pump. I figures I would give it a try before converting to a chevy pump. I wanted that stock look also

yes same size heads except the valve sizes,,,the embossed heads,, with the words red ram and DODGE and the running ram,are the harder to find,,not all 241s had them, some had the smooth type as well, do you have a motor yet ?

Ok thanks. Did they come on the 55 270s? I could swear that my folks '55 Royal Lancer had the ones with the running ram on them...but i was too little to see them myself.
No I dont have a motor yet, just thinking ahead to a future project. I have a chance to get a 50 Dodge business coupe and thought a little hemi would be a cool mill for it.

Thanks for the info, I checked out Hot Heads and they had only one 325 Hemi for sale..wants $2800 for it. Are these motors kinda rare? I suppose I could always go with a nice 392, but would like to keep it all Dodge.

hot heads has a classified section,,,motors and parts for sale all the time,,the dodge hemis are the smalest phisical in size,, and cost as much as the bug inch chryslers to build,,and a lot less performance parts for the dodge,,,the 241 seems to be plenty ful compared to the 315/325 no one wants to give them up,,

i guess if u wanna have custom parts made,,315/325 would be a beeter deal,,but still no realt performance parts,, maybe a better intake selection,, the chrysler is the way to go if your looking for easy to get parts,and HP,, if your cas has the room under the hood for a big chrysler

Has anybody you know of stroked a 325? Could you get close to 390 ci with a welded stroker, you think?
325 Dodge hemi already has a 3.80" stroke. To get 390 cubes, you'd need about a 4.5" stroke.
Problem with the early Dodge hemi is that its bore center-to-center distance - 4.1875 inches - is one of the smallest of any V-8 ever (the Ford 4.6-5.4 modular V-8 is smaller).
By comparison, a SBC is 4.40 inches, SB Mopar is 4.46, and a BB Mopar is 4.80 inches.
So all the early Dodge hemis are small-bore engines, and the small bore limits its cubic inch potential.
The early De Soto hemi was also limited in size potential, just not quite as limited as the Dodge. Its 4.3125" bore center distance you will note is still less than either a small block Chevy or Mopar.
And just FYI, the Chrysler 331-354-392 hemi had a 4.5625" bore spacing.

Thanks 413, wow that is a small bore space! I guess one should consider the Dodge hemis to be small blocks, actually. I guess i can live with that..lol I did ask Hot Heads about this today and he wrote back that i could have the crank welded and offset ground but that it would be more cost effective to just start with a bigger ci motor in the first place. He said the 325 "can hold its own" with any motor. So if i decided to use it, i wont try to make it any bigger than it already is..and I agree, a 3.8 stroke is already pretty long! Thanks again for all the good info.

I'm running a Mallory. I initially tried a MSD, but the intake manifold extended back too far to slide the distributor in. With smaller diameter, the Mallory makes it in, but not by a whole lot. I'm happy with the tri-power set up. One aspect of it is the visual, it just looks cool on a Hemi. Performance-wise, it's better when I nail it in first (rolling) or from a stop, but if I open all six at about 70 or so, it's less impressive. Just an adjustment issue, I haven't hit the right combination yet. The carbs are Rochester, they're all functional. As a lot of you already know from your own experience, the real fun is in the driving.
It's never been on a dyno, but the best guess is I'm getting about 310-315 hp. And with the total weight of the car just under 3000 lb., it does all right.

that's for eight. if it had been for ten, the other two would have been made into trophies. at least it would seem like more of a bargain that way. As to the cam, luckily it was good enough to be reground by Isky Cams. Here's another interesting story by the shop that did the engine; Ol' Ed Iskendarian himself, now retired, sometimes still likes to come in the shop and run through some cams. When mine came in, supposedly he reground it.
Don't know if it's true, but makes for a fun story.
Just to clarify; the engine builder was in Lansing, MI and sent the cam out to Isky,
