I have some of these DeSoto's in my garage. These are good engines, but parts can be hard to find. The DeSoto engine has no parts in common with either the Dodge or Chrysler early hemis. That firedome engine is 180HP with stock 2bll Carter carb. There are a lot of those carbs around and they work well. Some 55 DeSoto's were made with WCFB 4 bbl carbs but the 4 bbl intakes are not easy to find. Gaskets and parts available from Kanter's and others. If you have any questions, I might be able to help.
Have a nice day
Steve
