Not quite, the first Chrysler hemi V8s in 1951 were all 331 cid, first
Desoto hemi V8 in 1952 was 276 cid, first Dodge hemi V8 in 1953 was 241 cid.
In 1951 the Windsor came only with the 250 cid 6 which grew to 265 cid, this
six was replaced with the 301 cid hemi V8 in 1955. I believe 1955 was the
only year Chrysler made the 301 hemi--curious.
