As a Mopar enthousiast I always wanted to have one of those mighty Hemi's. I especially like the first Hemi, the 354 or 392, with their fantastic history in dragracing. And last week my wish came true, I found a 354 (originally in a '56 Chrysler Imperial) here in the Netherlands, wich is kinda special, they are very rare overhere.
It's almost complete but sadly it had both headgaskets leaking and two of the cylinderbores are completely gone... For the rest lots of worn parts and the heads are also in very bad shape but hey! It's a Hemi!
So now the hunt begins for pistons, bearings and everything else that's in there ( crankshaft is good btw) and then the engine work can begin. It will take a long time though, these are expensive engines to rebuild....
