message sent to me by fabo member, thought id share the info

"Saw your ad for the Desoto 301. I did some research on it since most of the old "poly" engines can be converted over to hemi's using the hemi heads. I have a few old hemi's and some extra parts, so that's why I was looking.

Your 301 is actually a Dodge block, Desoto started using a lot of Dodge engines in '57. Its an "A" block, so it actually same design as the 318 Poly engines. Its not a poly that is based off a hemi block though, and can't be converted. But it should share a lot of the same parts as the later 318 poly's that came in the early A bodies, so you might have some luck with selling to someone with a poly 318."
