you cant miss them they look nothing like the A block poly , though interesting note the first v8 in the 1955 Plymouth was a dodge poly and in the 1956 Plymouth you could either get the dodge 270 poly or the first A block poly in the size of 277 or in the fury it was in 303 cubes , desoto state side didnt use a poly head on their hemi like Chrysler or dodge which in 57 was the last year for the desoto and dodge hemi , though dodge did use a Chrysler hemi in the 58 d500s dodges and 58 desoto went to the b block motors.
How can we identify this engine? The valve covers did look quite different and were the old 3 bolt style.
It was a fairly common engine back in the day. My father used to convert them to Hemis and run them in his Fuel Altered roadster back in the 60s. They did VERY well with the 354 supercharged on Nitro.

My friend in Australia, Craig Fountain, makes beautiful finned aluminum valve covers for the 354 Poly so it will look good too. Picture attached.

The 354 poly V8 was used in the US Chrysler Windsor (2-bbl) in 1957 (C75-1) and 1958 (LC-1), and in the US Chrysler Saratoga (4-bbl) in 1957 (C75-2) and 1958 (LC-2).
In Canada the 354 poly came as a 2-bbl on the 1957 Chrysler Windsor (C75-2), 1958 Dodge Custom Royal (LD-3), 1958 DeSoto Firedome (LS-2) and 1958 Chrysler Windsor (LC-2). The Canadian LD-3 version put out 275 bhp, LC-2 was 290 bhp and LS-2 295 bhp. Everything but the carburetor on the DeSoto was shared by all three. The differences were all the work of the advertising people.
