Alright fellow hot rodders, this is the question(s). I got a line on an old 331 hemi and would like to hear from any of you old timers that has ever had anything to do with them. This one is a late model ('54-'55) so does not have the bell housing built on the block. What I'm lookin' for is any kind of info on rebuild kits, performance parts etc. I would also like to hear from any of you guys that have had them, what about reliability and performance? Are they pretty good motors? Can I get some miles out of one? I'm not tryin' to build a trailer queen, I like my cars driveable, distances even so what ever I can get would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for any info.

Derek
