Of all the big engines made during the muscle car era, the stock 392 is the most durable of them all. Long after the larger 426 Hemi was made available to Top Fuel engine builders, they still chose the 392. The original aluminum after market racing blocks were based on the 392.
Did you find the number yet? it's on a machined lip in front of the valley cover.
Why would you paint it Chrysler Blue? That color is nice but it didn't come into existence until 1971. Correct color for a 392 is Aluminum Silver. Your engine is currently 331 light green.
@WhoSaidTyler I have not touched the paint on it, the engine was pulled out of the boat and was went through and before it was put back in whoever had it painted it the color it is now, I know were the data plate is and yes I know the number, It is a 392 CID hemi engine
With the twin 1 barrels, it is likely a 331 cubic inch version from 1954-56. Chrysler offered a 354 cid with twin 4 barrels rated at 275hp in '57 and '58. The 392 was not marinized by Chrysler. Your mill is too cool! Likely very valuable to a wooden boat collector..
This Is a 392 it has 2 BIG 1 barrel carbs on it. This is also a Chrysler Imperial Marine Engine as it says on the tag. We have a 331 hemi engine, and the block on the 331 is smaller compared to the 392 in this video, the 354 shares the same block as the 331. This Is a 392. we also have its sister engine. I am waiting for warmer weather to work on it.
That would be cool but they got to be marine headers cant have stacks..I plan on putting chrome air cleaners on it..paint it Chrysler blue...It sounds better without the pipe i put on it for the video. And it is loud!

Would you be willing to sell one or both of them? I'm looking for a 354 or a 392 to play with a bit...
Thanks!
