[Chrysler300] Hemi siren

["Terry & Andree Hoeman" <tehoema@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Out in Nebraska they are commonly found as irrigation pump motors.  My 55
StRegis has a rebuilt 331 (model 56 as I remember) which was near factory
spec when disassembled.  It came with my 55 300 when I got it and finally
used it when redoing the StRegis.

Good memory. Chrysler was a supplier to the companies
that manufactured Air Raid sirens during the cold
war.The one on Ebay was a complete unit as I recall.
But the use of the industrial Hemi didn't stop there.
they were also used for remote power plants and other
applications. Another was sold on Ebay about two years
ago. It was a new in the crate industrial Hemi that
had been bought as a spare for a lumber mill in
Northern BC in the 50's. I saw one about 10 years ago
at a wrecking yard near Seattle as part of a huge
indudtrial compressor.
