  I owned a 34,000 mile 54 Dodge Coronet with a 241 Hemi. Great to see one coming back to life. If it wasn't for this there would never have been a 2-4 426. Great job, love your channel Nick.

  The overhead camera showed the secondaries quit spraying fuel after jet change.

  Enjoyable video. Love those old Hemis whether they're Dodge, Desoto or Chrysler. I used to do oil & filter changes on a '54 Dodge like that when I worked in a Standard station in the '50s. Love that V8 sound. Good stuff. Keep 'em comin'.

  They still had the same unique exhaust sound back in the 50’s. Even the newer v6’s have the sound, just at a different tone.  Love the sound of a Mopar.

  The old Dodge Royale Red Ram baby Hemi. I haven't seen a 241 since I was 16  years old. Thank you so much for showing the little 241. With the Offie, and someone with a tubing bender who could fit & weld to improve the exhaust with some decent headers and some careful tuning these could   squeeze out about 175 180 HP.  You have to change ALL of the jets in these old Carters. The 331 was far more common back in 1954.

  Man, still sounds so good to be a mini-hemi and to be such an older engine.

  I love the pure joy Nick has when he's playing with these old motors.. Show me a man who loves his job and I'll show you a man who never worked a day in his life...!

  LOL painting the letters red has to be worth at least 10 hp.

  Back in 1975, I got my first car, a '57 Chrysler Saratoga. It had a 354 Spitfire V8. What I didn't learn until 20 years later, is that my Spitfire was really a 354 Hemi, minus the hemi heads and domed pistons.

  Its very nice to see this engine on the Dyno, in May when i saw you you indicated you would not be able to run it. Well you did it and i am impressed at how smooth it runs. Well done.
