Re: [FWDLK] 57 sierra wagon

Paul,

Nope, it's not a D500. The ad doesn't say D500. A real 57 Dodge D500 would
have a Dodge 325 Hemi. The engine looks like a 56 Chrysler 354 Hemi with
"Chrysler FirePower" embossed on the valve covers. A real 57 D501 (1956 300B
engine) would not have embossing on the valve covers. It looks like a nice
ride with some custom touches and an engine transplant.

Found this on another list.  You "experts" is this a real D500-?? motor.
It does NOT have the solid lifter valvecovers!!  At least from what I see in
the 2 pics of the motor!
