Im new also to the group.
I bought a 331 industrial engine at a auction last weekend,and would like to build it up and put it in my 75 duster.
my question is, can the engine be built up with a bigger cam and bored out . Where does a guy find new pistons and parts for one a 331?
Im looking forward to building this engine, just dont know a thing about 331's or where to look for parts and how much to build up for the street and an occasional drive down the strip.
Im a mopar guy and will always be!!!!
thanks for your help.

mopars are great!!
Parts from www.hothemiheads.com. Get a copy of Tex Smith's Hemi Book by Ron Ceradono from HH or www.hotrodlibrary.com. You can get a 354 cam, front cover from a 51-54 car engine will work. If it passes sonic check overbore up to 354 standard is possible. Is it an extended bell type?
there is a plate on the drivers side rear of the engine that says chrysler industrial an a model # ind 56 . it is on a lip that sticks out about 2 inches from the rear, so that would be an extended?
sorry to sound so dumb about this, but all ive ever done was 340s and (sorry) 327's.
