looks like you scored big time:) thanks for sharing:)

agreed but most of those 7 1/4 were geared pretty tall..and if he's looking for 3.55 or to lower his gears he's up a creek...of course the 7 1/4 people are giving away...and i don't think it will break on him but would it be too tall he couldn't: get out of 1st gear?

congrats on getting the Desoto if i read right??going to need to see more pics of that one:) please:)here's a '31 i would like to get but...http://seattle.craigslist.org/see/cto/2056494522.html

not all a-bodys had 8 3/4..a lot had the 7 1/4 littler rear end that i don't think was a drop out..the 8 3/4 rear was optional.in the A body.so keep in mind in your quest that you might have to pay top dollar..for one..that's why a lot of street rodder guys i know who rod early 30's mopars give up and just go ford 9..because all the muscle car people are hogging the rears and driving up prices...unless you luck out and find someone who doesn't know what he has.. if so also ask the guy if he has some old violins he wants to get rid of...you might get lucky twice...good luck Benny

welcome back:) while you were gone we put another shrimp on the barbie...sorry couldn't resist glad to have you back:)

i'm going to by running an 8 3/4 rear out of a '68 charger (b-body) in my '33 Chrysler i don't know if Plymouths were narrower? but would suggest find an 8 3/4 rear or ford 9..and maybe see if you can get an adapter for a t-5 5spd... i'm in the same boat i would love to restore my car back to stock but if your going to be driving in today's traffic on today's roads you may have to look into some mods...it's a good idea to keep all the parts you take off.. you might what to give these guys a call?http://www.transmissionadapters.com/index.htm if you want to run something like a t-5 if you get an 8 3/4 mopar you can get a 2.76 or a 3.23 ...i think if you go ford 9 they have a 3.00?

i always wanted to go there thanks for sharing the pics:)

putting a 300 ford inline 6 in my '33 Chrysler..so you won't here complaints from me:) have fun and good luck "Any engine swap should be approached from a strictly practical standpoint, taking into consideration cost of swap and later transportation.If swap will increase value of car or reduce overall transportation cost per mile, it is worth while."- Tex Smith 1968

i have been away for a while. did anybody got to the WPC meet in Dayton,OH? they have posted pics of the cars that showed up.

here's my stuff: '37 ford 1 1/2 panel truck, '69 Sport Satellite,'51 Sportabout,'33 Chrysler.

i'm 28 almost 29...the old man just started finding old mopars...and bought me my '69 sport satellite when i was 15, still have the car ( and no it's not for sale) i like mopars but i like other stuff too..what was the question again?:confused:

thanks everybody for your condolences.

if i were you i would get that '42 dodge before somebody else does...only 5,257 were built..

hello all my father BUTRNUT79 passed away last month from a long illness. He was known for his Bright red 440 powered D-24 2dr sdn. he will be missed,Moparbenny

thanks:)...the biggest problem with ford flathead is over heating but Bob Drake makes a kit that will help the problem... and 350 will go down the road just fine but there is something about the old flathead motors in general that are just cool...
