1950's Dodges

354 hemi

The Derelict DeSoto of Jonathan Ward, DeSoto front on a '52 Chrysler Town and Country custom wagon

Exterior is rat rod, genuine aged US steel and paint.

The engine is a new Hemi, and has vintage 392 era valve covers covering the new stuff. Sweet touch!

The lug nuts appear to be 1/2 inch or 9/16ths sockets... cool idea I've never seen anyone realize before.

Awesome interior

hot rod engines at the Primer Nats

the simple beauty of the Hemi racing engine in a slingshot dragster

This is the kind of wallpaper I like, I make it myself and know it's what I'm going to use it for when I took these photos

just how fast was a stock hemi Plymouth Satellite?

Or maybe the speed record was 164 mph, depends on the source of info

Just how stock was it? A hemi, yeah, they wouldn't have super tuned that on a dyno, upgraded the guts a little? Dropped to the tallest highway gears available in a 8 3/4 or Dana 60 which were 2.93 and 3.23... maybe aluminum panels? Headers? Hell, I can see the roll cage, so it was prepped for the salt high speed.

Well, how about that, a little diggin around on the internet turns up that is was a prototype Satellite, the first street hemi to be installed, with special fuel injection ste ups and dry sumps, and the project was shepherded by Peter Dawson a Chrysler factory engineer who shared a garage with Tom Hoover (father of the 426 hemi) and a variety of rear axle ratios were brought along, http://www.moparmagazine.com/2009/may_june/grassroots_engineering
