Bruce;
The Chrysler hemis are really no different then any other pushrod V8s other
then in the valve trains. I spent a good amount of time last summer pounding
the pistons out of my 331 as the former owner had let it sit for five or
more years with the aircleaner removed and had let it seize. Although most
of the parts look to be in good shape, other then a broken skirt on one
piston, I think that I will need to rebore it as it has gained quite a
ridge. From what I can tell Performance Automotive Warehouse has better
prices then most on old hemi parts. They are on the web so send off for a
catalogue so you will have something to compare to as you shop around.
Best Regards
