What is this??
Hi. I found this motor yesterday, it has been sitting in a heated place for many years, it seems to me a marine converted Hemi of some kind.
Any ideas??
There are no numbers or anything on it, maybe under the valve covers, but i have not got to that yet.
I would be thankfull for any input.

I'm not familiar with early hemi's

Try plugging "early hemi" into Google. Bear in mind, that unlike the 'late' hemi, early hemi's were various and many
Chrysler, Desoto, Dodge, etc, could all be different engines, and there were many cubic inch variants.

================================================== ========
Early HEMI: These engines were introduced starting in 1951 and this style continued through 1958. They can further be broken down into 3 major sub-categories by division; Chrysler, Dodge, and Desoto. Despite what many people believe Chrysler did not offer a HEMI in the Plymouth line until 1964 when the 426 was released. Displacement ranged from 241 cubic inches to 392 CI. All together there were a total of 14 different engines offered over these years.
Chrysler: 301, 331, 354, 392(RB)
Desoto: 276, 291, 330(RB), 341(RB), 345(RB)
Dodge: 241, 260, 270, 315(RB), 325(RB)
