I drove a '55 DeSoto daily through college. Impressive torque and efficient power from the 291 Hemi. I want to buy another.

Sounds great. I think it deserves a full blown restoration and rebuild to its former glory!

The 291 is one of the best kept secrets of Hemi lore. I stuffed one of these in a factory five hotrod. Roller cam with a wide LSA and it pulls hard on an autocross course. 11:1 compression, Aluminum flywheel, and a TKO600 5 speed. Eldebrock AVS2 on the factory manifold too!

What a great hillbilly hot rod. I bet it makes the ordinary citizens say things like "Who is this lunatic driving around in that monstrosity"? I have to admit to some small amount of envy, just for that alone.

Hey bigblockmitch have you started or finished your 34 cabriolet yet? I would be interested in a look at some photos .I'm in Australia.
@bigblockmitch 5 жыл бұрын
I have a 34 cabriolet but haven't started working on it yet. All apart but pretty much rust free. Are you going to be posting more videos of the cabriolet?

I would be really interested in a video detailing the rocker panels including shots from below. My car doesn't have much of them anymore so I need to figure out how they attach and if they are a two-piece design.
@mercurypete9226 5 жыл бұрын
no problem. I wont get to it for a week or so. The car is still in storage. we are going to have a snow storm tomorrow. the rocker panels consist of the outer and the inner. the inner is part of the sill. I only had to replace the outer. if you want i can send you some pictures that i have already taken. . send me an email address if you are interested. Pete

My dad sold this exact motor about 5 years ago. I would swear this had to be it! It is not, but at least I know of 2 55 fireflies 291’s going into 30’s hot rods. Awesome find
