− | ==Overview==
| |
− | Here with your help we will build a list of internet web links for "direct fit" DeSoto High Performance engine parts that interchange easily with very little or no modifications required for the new part to bolt on.
| |
| | | |
− | Ideally, the parts listed should not be from Hot Heads, TR Waters, EGGE, Kanter or PAW websites. Although these are good suppliers for the most part, the hope is to build a better database of unknown parts suppliers and sources- providing DeSoto Tall Deck Hemi owners a wider variety of parts to choose from.

− | ==New intakes==
| |
− | *1x4, 2x4, 3x2 and blower intakes from Peter Williamson (38 mopar_fan); Hamilton, New Zealand.
| |

| |
− |
| |
− | Hells gate hot rods makes manifolds, header plates and intake flanges,
| |
− |
| |
− | ==Timing covers==
| |
− | With a little machining and careful attention to detail a stock 318 timing cover can be adapted to a tall Desoto block. Modification to the block is minor. Studs are recommended. I have done this to a 341 and two 354 truck blocks. They have been running for over 10 years with no issues.
| |
− |
| |
− | The hot heads timing cover also has the water pump adaptors on it for use of a sbc water pump this is why I would use this and it's not to bad of a price
| |
− |
| |
− | ==Hydraulic roller lifters==
| |
− | *The 273-360 LA roller lifters are a DROP-IN on 330 DeSoto engines, with NO modifications necessary to the connecting link. Block modification necessary on low deck blocks.

− | ==4" forged pistons for blower use==
| |
− | Ross pistons will make the piston that will work for this and customizable,

| |
− | ==HV/HP oil pump==
| |
− | A 340 high volume oil pump with an adaptor plate that about a dozen guys build works great

| |
− | ==Electronic distributor==
| |
− | *Pertronix Ignitor part number 1383 installed in original distributor.
| |
− |
| |
− | ==Performance valves==
| |
− | Rocker stands from stank motor sports for a red ram dodge will work with minor machining, the head bolts are 1/16 farther apart on a Desoto than a dodge, but shaft diameter is the same as spread, but Desoto shafts are longer
| |
− |
| |
− |
| |
− |
| |
− | We use sbc Chevy valves spring and retainers, and Bush the original guides with brass for the smaller stem, also allows for better air flow
| |
− |
| |
− | ==Connecting rods==
| |
− | 400 Pontiac rods are exact length and bearings are the same diameter, only have a larger wrist pin so you ca either bush them or get toss pistons with bigger wrist pins for the tall deck
