You do not want to be messing with ANY early hemis.
Not that they dont make power, but damn....a diehard powerplant.

Not even close to being the same. I believe the 331 was the baby or there might be one smaller.

Nice paint, but it looks a little bit more bulky. Also there is no deck pattern. Also, the Laveys deck is a little longer and pointier. Who knows what it is, but it is a cool oldie.
Lets go to CBBB! :D

I want to say a 727 bolts to it since I have an early hemi trans here, but I couldn't answer it without a doubt.
Regardless,
Mounts can be MADE pal. If you want that boat, jump on it. The motor is worth something to someone.

$500 is nothing, the V-Drive is worth that. The paint on that boat looks very good and it is a cool oldie. If you have the cash, I say go for it, before someone else does, they go quick.

Vale paint....thats some funny shit KF....
This old tub aint worth the effort. $500 would be better spent on "hookers and beer." (Superdave)
Save up the coin and buy a nice rig.....in the long run, you'd spend less and smile more.

It looks very similar to a 60's Rayson Craft "J-hull". They both have that "not pointy" keel line that drops abruptly down from the bow tip and rolls under.
Very little to nothing is common with a 440RB when you're talking a "early" Hemi. There were more than 20 different displacements offered total by the Dodge/Desoto/Chrylser brands. The 331/354/392 were Chrysler brand (Imperial, Windsor, New Yorker and whatever) specific and used primarily in all the legendary race applications. There's actually more in common with the Mopar smallblock (318 Poly, 273/318/340/360 LA) than big block. some of those early Hemi's had extended crankshaft flanges and the area at the bellhousing for Marine/Industrial applications.
Personally, with my budget, I'd buy it and do a cool 60's retro thing with it using whatever brand motor you want. Nicson/Edelbrock marine hardware is on Ebay all the time. You won't be the fastest but you'll be your own sort of cool.

Old flatties are usually heavy and strong.

You're welcome!!
Yeah, that's the same plan for my old flattie. Got a T-ram with twin 600's and the old style Hilborn scoop. All that'll exit through the bigger Nicson 3" logs then on out the transom. Not the racers edge for sure.
My old flattie is a thick glass-over-plywood-over-glass lay-up. Probably a stone to the racer types here but ragin' vintage 60's cool to me.
My guess is all you'd need is to get the lever, linkage/hardware and transom seal/sleeve to make the cav. plate adjustable. I've seen auctions of parted out hulls that listed all that hardware in a lot before on Ebay. Heck, I'd think on the west coast you could find that stuff word-of-mouth or at a local swapmeet.

I am debating to keep the wet logs or go over transom with my next motor...I just dont want to rob the motor.
