For sure, keep us all posted!

Hello everyone! I posted a similar question outside of this thread, but what about the chevy 500 series gear box? Another forum mentioned this power steering gearbox being almost a bolt in with a V8 swap...stated the splines matched up as well.

I have a 1950 Dodge Coronet and was surfing through V8 swap threads a noticed one comment about using a 500 series steering gearbox (55 Chevy). Stated it was an "almost" bolt on. Anyone ever tried it? Appears 2 of the three bolts are similar (have not actually bought one to compare). Would place the gear drive on top of the frame rail and make more than enough clearance for V8s...thought?

Ok, this is my first flat head...1950 Dodge Coronet 230...trying to figure out if the split exhaust adds any performance or if I would lose torque. Example, SBC larger single pipe had a better torque curve that dual exhaust did (mild performance, not race). Would just adding a bigger pipe improve down stream flow? Enough on a flat head 230? I did want to add a dual single carb intake as well. Just not sure it's really worth the hassle and cost... lipstick on a pig.

Does any one know of the DeSoto trim works, I have seen them on eBay, but hard to tell for sure and I don't want to buy a $100 yard ornament.

No, I just picked this fat gal up from a friend a few weeks ago.

I have a 1950 Dodge Coronet, it came with almost all the chrome in pretty good shape. I am however missing a few peices. The right side passenger front exterior chrome molding (4dr) and the driver's side chrome on the rear window...where can I find these! I've scoured Google, Craigslist and eBay, but it's futile. Anyone making reproduction chrome parts?
