After rereading your post, that is not a hp figure, that's the cu in of the original hemi engines that powered dragsters and muscle cars to fame back in the 60s. Given that, I would not use it. And anybody with engine smarts would know better. Really, who would put an old hemi in a new truck? You couldn't pass emissions....... etc.

Well, given the comments I am 58% for using the 392 and 42% against. So I am going to put them on and see how it looks and what happens with comments and mean looks etc. I'll post pics soon.
