My humble tidbit of info:  altho the valvecovers appear to be 'dimpled' 
That is Not the style of dimple I would expect to see on a 354. Chrysler 
or Dodge.  I would expect to dee the round dimples on the Dodge baby hemi's

I HAVE seen Desoto and Dodge hemi's miss-identified, "Yups that's  a 392 
all right"

I do seem to recall that 354's were available from 56 to 58. And yups, 
in some Dodge applications you can find 354's. (think mainly trucks, and 
the D-501 cars for 57 and 58)

AND since it only has a 120 mph speedo, I would research the car more 
before accepting the potential of it being a D501 (other experts free to 
chime in and continue my education here)
