Thanks for the post, Mopar. Sorry, but I don't have pics or the engine id#. I'm just making calls and such. We do have a bunch of new leads to work on this week, so hopefully something will turn up. Thanks again, guys!!

LOL I wish I had a prize for you, Young Ed, but it turns out the guy was wrong!!! He insisted he had it on the phone with me, but when my friend called to order it he was told it is actually a 53, not a 56. ARG! I did just get an email from a guy who said he has a 56 D-500 315ci with a #1730541-1 and a 57 truck 315ci #1828129-1. He says they are the same as what my friend needs, except for a boss at one end, which doesn't matter. Can anyone confirm that for me?? (I'm a clueless girl, just trying to help my guy) So that's where things stand for now. There are still a few replies here I need to read in a minute. Maybe someone else has another lead for me. This sure is proving to be a challenge, but I'm determined to find something that works. Gotta give all you guys props for what you go through to restore your beauties : ) Thanks again to all of you for your help. I have to say I'm really happily surprised to see so many guys using forums like this!! I've been trying to convince my friend to update his website and create a blog & discussion forum. Others are telling him guys aren't interested, but I know better!

Young Ed, YOU ROCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! French Lakes has one and I'm now the happiest girl ever : ) THANK YOU SOOOOO MUCH!! Trisha :D :D :D

Hey! Two new names! Nope, Ihave not, but I sure will now. Thank you Trisha

Yeah. They were the 1st of the 87 calls! lol Thanks, though. BTW, you're got a very cool car there!

Hi, guys. I am trying to help a friend of mine. He owns a speed shop in PA and is rebuilding a 1956 Dodge (may or may not be a Desoto??) with a 315 ci hemi engine for a customer. He desperately needs a cylinder head. Tall order, I know. I have made 87 calls for him and no luck yet. The casting # is 17305411. If you know where to get one or can point me in the right direction, I'll be your friend for life! lol (I've enjoyed reading the threads here, btw) Thanks so much for any help you can provide!
