    For those not aware the reason I’m sourcing these parts out now is my dad installed a 392 Hemi back in the 80s. He placed the 383 on an engine stand and sourced out several parts from the scrap yard to make things work at the time (Rad, hoses, fan, etc).

    Luckily he never cut up the car in anyway to make it fit but I do remember the motor was taller and the carb nearly touched the hood and he couldn’t even install an air cleaner on it.
    He talked about getting another hood for the car but it never happened and the car just sat for years and years.

    So this is why I’m sourcing these parts out now cause they got tossed along the way and he could not be bothered finding them to return the car back to the way it was.

    I put some old parts I had on Kijiji a few years ago and was amazed how quickly they where grabbed up.

    The 392 was removed in 2008 when the resto began and I had no interest in keeping it or using it.
    I believe it came out of a Chrysler Imperial.
    The body guy bought the motor from us and a customer of his was going to install it into a pull truck.

    The motor looked cool and was massive but not how I wanted the car.
    I was just thankful he kept the original 383 after all those years.
