Picked up a 1950 Plymouth Special Deluxe Club Coupe. The stock 6 runs great, although I do hear what sounds like a mild knock. I'll be making a decision on keeping the flathead and doing a rebuild, mild cam, increasing compression including dual carb and dual exhaust,,,,, OR ,,, I found a 1953 Chrysler Hemi V8 that I think would look great. Either way I want to keep it a manual transmission.
Has anyone done this swap or knows about what is needed to make it work?
Outside of maybe a disk brake conversion, I'd like to keep the suspension,,, and the swap, as stock and period correct as possible.
Any thoughts?
Thanks,
