Bill, This may be a typo. He may have meant 392 or 341 and typed wrong. Also, I have found that the great majority of the uneducated (non car hobbyists and younger enthusiasts) public think that Chrysler only made one Hemi size. The 392 was used so extensively in racing, especially drag racing, that it was the engine that got all the press. Half the people at cars shows that ask think my 315 Dodge Hemi is a 392.

This 1956 DeSoto is advertised as having a 391 hemi.
I don't recall those being available in '56 or any
other year. Anyone know?
Thanks,

It will always work out cheaper (cost:horsepower ratio) to just put a
bigger engine in the thing.
