William Davey Posted April 27, 2014 Report Share Posted April 27, 2014 My '55 C-3-B8 with the 259 V-8 showing the 4 barrel WCFB carb. Although everything looks stock, I've been told that MOPAR never put a 4 barrel on a pick up until the 60 or 61 Adventurer with the 413. The other clue is the "Super Red Ram" on the valve covers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bmartin Posted April 27, 2014 Report Share Posted April 27, 2014 (edited) I came across this at the junkyard yesterday. Not sure what it is, but it looked a lot longer than a standard flathead. Did they make a spitfire for the trucks in the larger blocks? Edited April 27, 2014 by Bmartin 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
casper50 Posted April 27, 2014 Report Share Posted April 27, 2014 I'd like to get a Spitfire head for my 230. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Coatney Posted April 27, 2014 Report Share Posted April 27, 2014 The Spitfire head was a Crashler (25" engine) only thing. I believe some trucks had the 25" engine but it did not have the Spitfire head. I did pick up a Spitfire head for my Desoto engine but I have not yet installed it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

40phil41 Posted April 27, 2014 Report Share Posted April 27, 2014 Here is the Canadian D24 engine in my 1940 Dodge. It was rebuilt in about 1951. This is a 2010 photo. It definitely needs new paint now. This is on my long to-do list. Phil 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lumpy Posted April 27, 2014 Report Share Posted April 27, 2014 (edited) There's the old heart of Lumpy. Chrysler Marine, B&B carbs off of little slant-sixes, and a bit of a shave off the head.

Don, what is the difference between a 25 inch Spitfire head and a non-Spitfire 25 in head? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonaldSmith Posted April 28, 2014 Report Share Posted April 28, 2014 Let me guess: The Word "Spitfire". Was it higher compression? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Coatney Posted April 28, 2014 Report Share Posted April 28, 2014 The word "Spitfire" is the only difference I know of. The compression might have been higher but I have not seen any documentation to support that. I think Chrysler wanted to spit on the Buick "Fireball 8".
