Imperial Home Page -> Repair -> Engine -> Engine Identification -> 331
We have two articles posted about the early hemi. One entitled, 50 Years of the Hemi and the other is Early Hemi Spotter's Guide, both appeared in the November, 2001 edition of Hot Rod magazine. Both are very informative and a good read for all car enthusiasts who are interested in the early hemis.
Here are some websites that we think will be useful to all you owners of 1951-55 Imperials that have the 331 Hemi engine. These websites have content which pertains to your engine, but maybe not your body style. We think you can gain important knowledge about your engines from these sites. Have fun!!
The Early Hemi Registry : great website!! An ongoing registry for early hemi owners with great facts and figures about these engines.
Hot Heads/Power Play : EXCELLENT source for all your early hemi engine needs. They also have an online swap meet and classified section, hot rodding information on the 331, and specifications and identification guides for all component parts for your hemi.
Hemi Rebuild : Step by step guide on how to rebuild a Hemi.
Mopar's Infamous Hemi : 331 specifications (total listing of ALL engine numbers). Also a good source for help and tips with your 331.
