Re: [Chrysler300] 354 CI hemi for 1957

[G Barker <gbarker@xxxx>]

Yes Warren, The 354 was used in the 300B, but also in the New Yorker just less H.P. I
just finished building a 354 and the 2x4 intake manifold is like a log type. It is a
factory manifold. I don't know if Chrysler had more than one 2x4 manifold in 1956 but I
do know this one will interchange with other Hemi engines. I'm also sure that the 354
NASCAR engine had a lot more H.P. than the 300B version.---Gary Barker
