Chrysler was always great for supplying industrial engines ,so there were likely early 50's hemi versions. I don't know if any were installed stock in a farm tractor,but a buddy of mine fitted a 354 hemi engine out of a 56 300C in an 88 Oliver. Was not too bad a fit except for the starter. That narrow Oliver belly had no room for that big engine with a starter installed. he finally built a Chrysler starter nose with a little pillow block mounted jackshaft with a sprocket on it. A high mounted Ford starter with a sprocket on the armature shaft chain drove the drive down beside the engine.It worked. The thing really looked impressive with those big heads and valve covers hanging outside of the Oliver belly pan.
