Sell or Trade? 70 Gran Coupe

On another note, I have this 354 Hemi from a 1956 New Yorker. Any clues as to what it's worth? I don't know anything about it other than I checked the stamped number on the block (NE5632320).View attachment 156228

If that is a running engine it is easily worth $4k.

Not to steal this post, but yesterday @heminut and I soda blasted his center console. Had to "unplug" the ball valve going to the hose as the soda got some moisture in it. Don't you just love it when you have to work on your tools before you can use them.

The 354 Hemi is pretty desirable as the heads are better than the stock factory 392 Hemi if my memory is correct.

Correct! The 354 head intake ports had a straighter shot to the intake valve than the 392 heads did. Back in the day when the Chrysler Hemi was the engine to use in fuel racing, racers looking for that extra bit of horsepower would run the 354 heads on the 392 engines. The 354 was a low deck block and in order to run those heads on a 392 they had to use 1/2" aluminum spacers between the intake manifold and the heads.
