60 views and no replies, so here's a bump.
There is a local guy that has one in his 32.
Nice car; Black with silver sides painted with realistic flames 20 years ago. It's been in mags and he's put a ton of miles on it.

I've got a 1955 DeSoto 291" Hemi,still unsure of it's exact destination.It will be in a rod or early rod style custom when it does end up somewhere.I just have to build it first,well someday.Anybody have a spare early mopar body?

This is my brother's 241 Hemi. He bought it off of here 3 years ago for $2,000. It had 40,000 original miles!! We put some decent used tires on it that I had lying around, ditched the oil bath air cleaner for a small paper style element, put on a glass pack which we branched into "duals", and sprayed the whole thing Rustoleum flat black. Total investment was less than $2,200. He then drove it up to Lake George, NY and has used it as a daily driver on-and-off ever since. I regret not buying the car myself!

My 241 is going in a '31 A coupe. It'll be a traditional hiboy with a T-5 5 speed.It will look something like this.

Man, stick a hemi in that and it would be my idea of a PERFECT rod!

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.

I've got a 241 Red Ram that I pulled out of a swamp, where it sat upside down in the mud since 1962. So right about when I was born!
I've been collecting parts to "put it right", but really don't have use for it right now.
Oh yes, I've got to get the stuck pistons out of the bores before I do anything else!!

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 just picked up a 354, pretty cheap off craigslist, needs a rebuild, I plan on putting it in a glass Willys coupe that I have, needs a ton of work, its on an S10 (blasphemy! ) chassis, I'm looking for an original frame, going gasser style, oh yeah.

Maybe not a baby Dodge HEMI but here is my '65 Valiant with a '56 354 Chrysler HEMI. We also have a '59 315 Dodge, '55 270 Dodge, and a '58 392 Chrysler, but we are not sure where they will find their homes. We got some ideas like an old '55 Nash Metropolitan Altered for the 392 and maybe one of those Dodges will find a home in '40 Willys 4-door gasser or maybe a '52 Studebaker Commander... Thanks Brian & Gordy
