It is a canadian dodge

I feel there will be enough to start a build thread. Documenting the progress is part of the fun. Thanks again everyone

Jeep was my thought to. thanks @Sniper question about etiquette, This will be quite a project. Do people usually make separate posts for individual questions or should I just keep asking on this thread. It could be a lot to scroll through to look back on advise. What do people here prefer. The got a solution button is whats grinding my gears on it. Thanks again

You may vary well be correct. The car never came with the stock engine so I never got to measure anything. I know an electric fan will be a must but as of right now thats all I know. I will to try to mock it up. If it doesn't fit I have options. We will see. Currently the distributer touches the fire wall. But thats due to a Hasty install, not because there is no room. Tonight the measuring tape will be put to work.

Mounts are ordered and weld in, its been a while but I do weld. I feel the 6 will suit my wants car better. Also I need a v8 for my c10 shop truck build. So many decisions to make. Anyway I look at it, the engine/transmission needs to come out, engine bay spruced up, wiring sorted out. I appreciate the replies. Pictures of the butchery to come!

@Los_Control thanks. I have been building the 250 for a project I have quit. I love how smooth they run and I know its in good running order. the 350 seems fine, but I don't know anything about it. and its scabbed in there pretty badly. I also have an overdrive tranny I need to decide on if I'm going to run as well. The 250 has been built up to run a turbo. so that would be fun/different I feel. As for rear diffs. I have searched the ones you say, just seeing if any odd ball's are also out there. toyota makes a 8 inch 5 x 4.5 diff wish would have every gear ratio under the sun available but I dont know the width. I have some reading to do. As for the trailer hits. The wreckers around here wont let us walk the yards anymore for insurance reasons. I may just have to buy a used one and modify it. Again thanks for the quick reply

just bought a new to me 1950 dodge special. it has a 350 turbo 350 setup hacked in, to be changed. i have a 250 inline 6 going in. this is not the car for purists. Solid bones to start. First question what are people doing for trailer hitches? Second question. is there a junkyard rear sway bar that is preffered. thanks
