Bought the last remaining parts from my buddy's race engine (520 CID, 9-second '58 DeSoto)

All Mopar RB parts. Crower 4340 4.375" Hemi stroker crank, Crower roller cam and lifters, hi-volume oil pump and remote oil filter setup, head & main studs, steel main caps, aluminum water pump housing, McCleod mini starter. The engine was built by Dick Landy, ran mid-9s with a single 4-barrel in an all-steel '58 DeSoto ("Claudia"). I didn't get the B-1 heads or intake, just too much for my humble needs!

I guess I better get the car put together, so I can build up one of my 440 blocks to put these goodies in :D :D :D

What no pics? :p

Am I reading this correctly to mean a '58 DeSoto means the engine was made in 1958?

No, it's a more-modern stroked 440 ;)

He's delivering the parts (still in the broken 440 block) hopefully this weekend. I'll borrow the DC from work and take some pics.
