67' cuda + 57' hemi

[mastahyeti]

I've had this 325 hemi from a 1957 red ram sitting in my garage for many years and I finally decided to do something about it. After lots of searching on ebay, I ended up with a 1967 barracuda. The only problem now is that I am having a hard time finding after market parts for a old hemi. If anyone has any suggestions on where to start searching, or any other suggestions for that matter, I would appreciate it. Thanks, I will update this as my project develops.

Sorry i didnt post this earlier.

They specialize in 51-57 hemis so i would think they will have anything you would need.
A freind called them on a 392 hemi and they had everthing he wanted. Wasn't cheap but show me a hemi that is!! 
Keep us posted with pics please..

Thanks Crank

Also welcome to the best website on the net..

Maybe you should message member 392heminut. He seems to be the resident expert on the early Hemis. I'm sure he would know where to get parts.

Hot Heads and PAW are the best places to get the parts for these old hemis. Bob Walker at Hot Heads is great, and always seems to have time to talk on the phone when you need advice or whatever. The early hemis are not cheap to rebuild, but then what hemis are? That 325 is a good engine and would make a cool project for the Barracuda. It's a tight squeeze, but should fit with some work.

Once again thank you all for you suggestions, though one thing i forgot to mention earlier is that this hemi was rebuild about 5000 miles befor i got it. It shouldnt need rebuilding though i was hopeing to add some performance parts...

Cool, you have the most expensive part of the swap done then! Call Bob Walker at Hot Heads Research, if anyone can hook you up with performance stuff for your hemi he can. He's a stand up guy and won't sell you something that won't get you where you want to go just to make a buck. He knows what works on these engines as he has been building them for a long time, and he doesn't mind spending some time on the phone to help out!

are the baby hemi valve covers the same ?? will a 241 fit a 392

[heminut]

No, the Dodge, Desoto and Chrysler hemis each have their own size valve covers, almost nothing interchanges between the three families.
