BTW; I can not remember what year (late '40's early '50's) the first hemi
head design was used in a Desoto brand and started at 230 or 231 cu. in. and
lead up to and stopped with the 392 cu. in. design in '58 or '59 and was
discontinued until the 426 cu. in. design in 1965 for NASCAR and put in
production vehicles in '66 due to the NASCAR rules.
