  1. What happened to this? Is the file covering the E7T2 carb available somewhere?
  2. Great! I have bought a '49 Plymouth or Dodge 218" with three gears plus overdrive unit. Donor car was equipped with column-shift. I'm not sure but I guess it must be what you show in the picture. My plan is to put everything in my '37 Plymouth Coupe and to use a conversion kit to get the shifter in original floor position, which is center of gearbox. Is that possible with your equipment?
  3. Hi! I'm working on very much the same set-up exept I'll go with three single barrel Carters. Have you considered another camshaft? I guess your gearbox with O/D will leave you with column shift. Since I want my shifter on the floor, still with O/D, do you have any idea how to fix that?
  4. I've got a '37 Plymouth coupe with original front suspension. How did you lower it and how much? I want mine down 1 or 2 inches.

  6. So, where did this operation end up? I'm interested in the final solution since I plan to do the same on my '37 Coupe.
  7. Well, discs are surely a brakewise good alternative but... plan is a "1955 period correct" racecar like the Cotton Owens -37 Plym with 331 Hemi (Yes, I will use that engine). Thats the reason for using bigger drumbrakes.
  8. Question... anyone having a suggestion for suitable front drumbrakes, approximately 10 - 11" fitting on original tube axle spindels? I use original 16" wheels. Best would be if I could also find a main brakecylinder, two circuit preferably.
  9. Thanks everybody for your efforts! I get a little confused though since the figures differs quite a lot. Reason for asking is that I'm gonna put in a 331 HEMI with a T5 gearbox and keep everything else, as far as possible (exept for bigger drumbreaks and an 8 3/4 rear end) in original shape. That means ie keeping the tube axle frontsuspension. I need to know how much extra weight this operation will add. I do not intend to lower the front suspension other than what the extra weight(?) might do.
  10. ...and Oldguy48, I still can't find any thread or answers...
  11. Sorry, I really tried to search everywhere in the forum!
  12. Anybody here knowing the weight of a 201 (or 218/230) cui Plymouth engine, complete with starter, generator etc? I'm also wondering about the weight of the complete engine and manual gearbox together.
  13. How much do you intend to lower it in front? I've got a -37 Plymouth BC and my plan is to get it 1-2" closer to the ground... so I'm following this thread with excitement :-)
  14. Thanx for the info, Don. I found an add for finned alu-covers said to fit all Mopar Flat Six'es. Can't obviously be right then.
  15. Is there any difference in size/fastening between the valve cover plates of the Plymouth/Dodge flat six and the Chrysler/DeSoto flat six? Questioning because the different lengths of the engines.
