Re: [FWDLK] Last Year For Hemi Imperial

[Wayne Graefen <WGraefen@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

And another tidbit of useless info.

The last application of the "early Hemi" was the '59 Dodge big trucks - I
believe 1.5 tons and larger.  The trucks never did use the 392, however.
They did have the 354s.  Look under those Dodge truck hoods in the salvage
yards!

I beg to differ with the assumption that 59 was the last year for the Hemi
in
an Imperial.  As a matter of fact 58 was the last Hemi for the Imperial
line.
 It was the 392 used only in 1957 and 1958.  The 413 Wedge design took its
place under the hood of the Imperial for 1959.   Check your books....You
