330 hemi?

They're great engines, but I don't think I'd pursue it for an A-body swap.

The block itself isn't that different from a poly 318 block. In fact, dimensionally they aren't really any bigger than an LA block. The heads, on the other hand, are A LOT wider. Not to say it isn't possible, but also keep in mind those are seriously heavy engines. The power to weight relationship is better on the later engines.

I have a 291 DeSoto waiting for a hot rod project, similar engine but with a shorter deck height. They're getting pretty popular with hot rodder's, as hemi's of any kind have a decent following, and as they get harder to find and more expensive even the early engines are being used quite a bit.

If it's not stuck, its a good price for a core.
