Where can I see this engine or read about it on the web? The smallest Hemi V-8 I've ever heard of or read about was the 334. Due to cost and parts availability I don't think any early Hemi V-8 from the 50's would be a practical upgrade.The 50's 270 V-8 was not a small engine in size and a Hemi is usually a tad wider than a V-8 of the same cu.in. While many things are done and would be neat to see done to our PWs,many are not practical for everyday use.The simpler the upgrade the better for the average guy to do or work on and usually is more economical in the long run. Thanks again but I'll just keep searching for a chrysler inline-6 that suits my need and who knows I may one day get tired of fooling with a inline upgrade and just do a V-8 upgrade.
