If nothing else, that engine needs to go into some sort of deuce coupe or something with an exposed engine, because that looks neat as hell.

Also, it looks like you posted twice.

It probably is a gen 1 hemi if its in a desoto. The desoto versions are fuckers to find parts for. :argh:

Desoto? Daimler, my dude. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daimler_V8_engines

Some guy made a rear-engined dragster using one:

"The car, named the <i>Glacier Grenade</i>, was the first British-engined car and the first car anywhere in the world under five litres to make a quarter mile
pass in less than eight seconds, eventually running a best of 7.2 at 180 mph. Russ competed in Europe at Mantorp Park, Le Mans and Hockenheim and won the
Euro Series Championship twice in the 1980s. Since retiring from regular driving in 1990 he has kept the car and has exhibited it regularly for over twenty
years."
