The guy we bought it from is where we got our info. He had the engine rebuilt in the '70's. He was going to just buy another engine but found that there was only one other one in Pa. So he had this one rebuilt.
I don't think it's any model of the early hemis as the bellhousing on this engine won't match up with any bellhousings my dad has which are sm block, big block, and poly block. So, with that info you can count out the 426. The engine looks like an early Hemi though. It has the distributor in the back of the engine and the valve covers look like the typical early Hemi valve covers.(I've seen quite a few of them)
Like I said, it came out of a D800 schoolbus so it is a truck engine of some sorts.
thanks,
Jeff
