This car has the third from the smallest Early Hemi in it and the smallest the was installed in DeSoto cars. It displaces 276 CID. It has the same bore as the Dodge 273 with a stroke that is .003 inches longer, 3.625" X 3.334" The Displacement of DeSoto Early Hemi engines were: 276, 291, 330, 341, and 345 CID. Early Hemi's used in Dodge cars were: 241, 270, 315, and 325 CID. Early Hemi's used in Chrysler cars were: 331, 354, and 392 CID. The 354 and 392 are the engines that most Hot Rodders want and what the most aftermarket market parts are made for. Some will list a 260 CID which is really a 259 but this engine was made for Plymouth which NEVER had a Early Hemi install in them. You can put DODGE heads on the 259 block and make a 260 Hemi but they were NEVER available from the factory. There is minimal parts interchangablity between the Chrysler, Dodge and DeSoto Hemis. The 241/270 Dodge and the 276/291 DeSoto did use the same bearing sets, 315/325 Dodge and 330/341/345 DeSoto use the same bearing set. The DeSoto 330 and the Chrysler 331 ARE NOT the same engine.
