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.

Here's a pic of my 53 Coronet convert. I'd include a pic of the Red Ram engine, but the only one I have mostly shows just the 44 years of grease & grime. Maybe later.
That baby is cool, Captain!
