Re:Value of a complete 1957 392 Hemi motor only

["Phil Patterson" <hilljack7@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I'm working my way around to having an early Hemi without having to scrap an
Imperial to do it. I have a 58 Saratoga with a 354 Poly, plus a set of
331-354 Hemi style heads of off an early 50s Chrsyler. I figure I'll have to
replace the pistons on the Poly block and do some fiddling, granted this
isn't the top dog of the line 392, but should move around whatever I decide
to put it in, rather well..
I like to hot rod or fiddle around, just don't want any poor innnocent
Imperial to have to suffer for it!!
