Guest Bob Call Posted February 8, 2013 Posted February 8, 2013 The Chrysler Model 20 is basically the same as the 51 thru 53 passenger car engine of 331 cubic inches, rated at about 135 HP. It is he least desirable of the first generation hemis. It has heads with small valves and ports and an extended bellhousing that is intergal to the block. This bellhousing limits the number of transmission adapters available. Here is a link to a page with first generation hemi specs.Chrysler Corporation Early Hemi EnginesIf you replace the engine with a Lincoln and want to sell the hemi, go to www.hothemiheads.com. This is a company that sells all parts for the first generation hemis and they have a buy and sell page (Swap Meet) and question and answer page (Tech Talk).
Jim_1937_Buick Posted February 9, 2013 Author Posted February 9, 2013 Thank you for your help, it is actually a museum’s automobile and we are the volunteer mechanics for the museum. We are looking into getting the automobile up and running and are trying to find out as much as possible about the automobile as we can. Thank youJim
