I wanted to say it was a 7 but did not feel sure so kept my mouth shut. Very nice.
-
Mine came from Kanter and worked well.
-
Is there a particular reason you need a bigger clutch? Lots of hills, more powerful motor? Just wondering as the difference seems to be small.

I was in that very parking lot in 1989 with a crew of Boy Scouts and leaders on the way back from a canoe trip. Beautiful location and a great car to be there with.

Seems to rain every other day or so. Have to cut the lawn twice a week now. The weather people are predicting a cooler wetter summer here.
-
Would have been happy to do so. Wettest May ever here. 8+ inches of rain.
-
Just now starting to get a little warm here. Upper 70's and low 80's for a couple of days. Then the rains come.

I had a bad pressure plate on my 52. After changing the full clutch the problem went away. And I did not resurface the flywheel. It was smooth and clean.

Never believed in changing oil or filter. Waste of money he said. Also killed 2 slant sixes and a Chevy 230. He was a good shade tree mechanic. Just not into maintenance. ,

That was my Father's way of knowing he needed a newer Plymouth. A 1940, a 1949 and a 1954 just counting flatheads..

In a word, no. My 52 Cranbrook seems to run cool and liquid.

Looks great.

Interesting photos I have run across.

I guess they really specialize in Moose heads. -
Canadian cars had the 25 as well as others i cannot recall. I want to say all displacements from Canada used the 25 inch block. Never considered doing it so what I have offed is hearsay I guess Good luck if you decide to do it.

If you mean install in the car I have read it is possible and others who have done it can elaborate. The extra length does require the radiator to be moved in front of the header I believe. A thread on this from AACA site: https://forums.aaca.org/topic/187109-straight-6-engine-swap-23-to-25/

bought gave me a heart attack when I scrolled past it. -
Something to remember about the defroster in an old Mopar is that it just recirculates the air in the cabin, not a separate feed as in modern cars. So eliminating moisture is harder than you might expect.

A bargain at twice the price. -
160's were often used in the summer when the cars were new. Was not unusual to change the thermostat twice a year so it would run cooler in summer and warmer in winter. Gas mileage was not that big a deal as now., I have a 180 in my 52 and run it all summer with no problems.

There was a company that sold Dual masters for old Mopars but of course the link was lost in the latest computer crash. I seem to remember that they were fairly expensive, maybe $275 or so.

This search around your area might help. https://www.google.com/search?q=classic+car+mechanics+near+Bridgeport%2C+CT&oq=classic+car+mechanics+near+Bridgeport%2C+CT&aqs=chrome..69i57.23854j0j4&sourceid=chrome&ie=UT Maybe someone on it could help

i like that!

You might try going to a local automotive paint supplier and if there is an unfaded spot on the paint be able to computer match the color. There is a shop not too far from me that will do that and if you want even put it in a rattle can for small repairs. Not cheap though. But I understand paint prices have really climbed since I used to paint cars so...
