I sent you some pics...

How about Art Chrisman...he's been racing and building them since the 50's....or Reath Automotive in Long Beach...another shop that's turned out record setting Hemi's for 50 years...

I did the hyd. for obvious reasons....EZ maintenence...I used stock pushrods since this is never gonna see high RPM (as long as I'm driving)....and I wanted to save my adjustable rockers for my next project.

I am trying to decide what cam to go with using a hydraulic cam. So please let me know what you did and why you chose that combo. Thanxs 450 lift....280 duration @.050 lift...110 degree centers..installed 4 degrees advanced...all of this per George @ Clay Smith Cams, Buena Park, CA. He's been doing...

Although I have been messing with the old Hemi engines for only 25 years or so, one of the consistant problems that I have seen is that of documentation, or lack there of. Has anyone actually seen, touched or photographed a Dodge or Desoto industrial ?? The amount of 'info' that is simply regurgeta...

It IS painted....like mine....

Like THIS?

Geez...I've got FOUR sleeves in my 354 and I used to race a Ford 427 with EIGHT! A couple cylinders were sleeved TWICE!

You will probably never notice any difference between stock manifolds, block huggers and race headers in your application. I bought a set of those cheap-ass Chinese made block headers on Ebay. They don't fit worth a darn so I'm going to run stock manifolds on my blown 354. I'm not racing it...I've n...

Well, I ordered a filter at NAPA...we spent about an hour going thru the various filters for many of the passenger car and truck applications without any luck. THERE ARE MANY!!!! Then we found a listing for an industrial engine...all the measurements seem to be correct (I do NOT have the original fi...

I'm running an early Dodge truck canister oil filter on my 354. It's the top loader type that you pull the filter out the top and the canister stays on the block.

I need a filter #...anybody know what it takes?

Thanks

Bought mine from the late Bob Ellingson but a guy sells 'em here..$280.00 http://www.dragsters.net/nitroland/forsale/index.html

Briggs Cunningham ran 331's (and Cadillacs) in his C-1's at LeMans...fast!!!!

Cragar style manifolds are available new...I paid $280.00 for mine

I hate to rain on your parade but using a higher octane fuel than required is just wasting your $$$...you will not gain any power and may actually lose some...not my opinon, just the facts!

You can buy adaptors to fit Edelbrock carbs to the stock manifold...I don't think you'll have any clearance problems. Stock carbs occasionally show up for sale on this site and on eBay...keep checking. Good Luck.

Depends on what you wanna accomplish...a good daily driver? Mild. A three MPG lumpity-lump, overheating bear to drive...go wild! Most Hemi's run great with a mild cam...don't forget the BLOWER GETS THE HP!!! Check with the Dyer's, BDS and the other full-time blower shops that sell cams...don't forge...

Nothin..but you will have to either enlarge or make a spacer ring for the input shaft snout...it indexes the center of the trans and helps support the nose of the trans...do that FIRST..then drill the mounting holes.

Boy, did I goof! In my last post, I said the valve lift is measured @ .050... I should have said duration! I meant to say that the actual valve lift would be multiplied by the rocker arm ratio...usually 1.50. I hope this clears this up. I invite other comments from more knowledgeable experts.

I bought a used 354 cranks that needs a little repair. Does anybody have any knowledge of the maximum stroke (with welding) you can put on a 354 crank? I've got a local shop with a lot of experience with welded strokers but they haven't done a Hemi in years. Their "old-timer" retired a few...

Remember....most cam maufacturers list their lift @ .050 of valve lift...the .600 lift you mention is probably GROSS valve lift...confusing?...you bet! But that's the way it's done. Unless you want constant foolin' with adjusting valves (on a Hemi w/adj. pushrods it's nerve-wracking), I'd go with a ...

Let me save you a lot of frustration..I'll pick it up and take it to the scrap yard for you...that way you won't get your hands dirty!

Ok...Here's what I've got. An IND-56 engine...'56 331 Industrial...But it's got a hydraulic cam, water outlets in the heads...a strange combo?...or just a change to a few automotive components after a rebuild? Any ideas?

I just bought a 354 that was used for power on an irrigation pump. I've got my eye on another, too. The guy I bought this from said it would push a mile of water thru the pipes at an idle!!

Campanna Company makes one for GM trans, too.
