It can be done. My '40 P10 convertible has had a 25" engine installed at some time in the cars past. It appears they used the original rear engine mounts and drilled new holes for the front mount. I'm not sure what they did with the rad but it's not butchered. One flaw that I need to address is the front crank pulley. It sits too close to the front cross member and I can't change the fan belt.

Bringing the '53 back. Calling this tour the "2024 Redemption Tour"

I would be looking at the turn signal switch. Some "magic" happens in there to separate left from right and front from back.

My engine on the run stand before it was installed in my '49 Fargo. 265, shaved about 1/8" off the head, reground cam and slant 6 distributor swap. A good friend did the welding and I made up the linkage. Sounds nice and drives nice. Extra horsepower? Yes. How much? don't know.

I have had trouble with Pertronix in the past 2 or 3 years both with a 12V and a 6V conversion. A farm tractor I converted more that 10 maybe 15 years ago has been fine.

You don't mention your trucks year. I bought a parts truck a few years ago. The mechanical cable worked a vacuum switch on the firewall. The rear axle was vacuum controlled. The speedometer also had a switch that compensated for the 2 speeds.

Some are already gathered at the host hotel. Mark and I are doing a pretour through northern Ontario.

Working out the final tour routes and confirming our stops. For me the highlight will be a private collection of some 30 Dodge and Fargo trucks ranging from '23 to '78. Lee

Thanks andyd. Specifically the winder parts. Drivers side is stripped near the top of window travel and the glass is crooked.

So my bad. 1940, Plymouth, P10, convertible. The doors I'm looking at are advertised as 1940 Plymouth coupe. No model listed. I've had the car about a month. So no haven't acquired a parts manual yet.

Can someone confirm that the "internals" from a '40 coupe door will work in a '40 convertible door. I suspect they will. Lee

Adding this on the truck forum in case some don't visit the car side. P-15 picnic is in the Niagara region of Ontario this year. Last year a couple of trucks joined us for a day. Good people lots of fun. Bring out the trucks Dodge and Fargo. Contact Mark or myself for more info.

Interesting lubricator Ivan_B but definitely not an air cooled engine.

I've seen that on old farm tractors Merle. I have a John Deere model D that has a tap to controll water into the carb.

My Google search also came up with that ebay listing. I don't think it's for a temp gauge. The car is a 40 Plymouth convertible. I'm thinking it's for the vacuum operated top.
