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!

My family bought a 57 Desoto Firedome. Same engine as here. Ran really nicely

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

That thing is smooth as butter. No fuss no muss start up. Can't believe the oil pressure! Good job finding and repurposing it.

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

If you need a spare trans let me know it’s going cheap if no one wants it unfortunately it’s going to the scrap yard

This needed a wussy radiator, these guys just didn’t hook it up before running it unfortunately.
