    I had to heat my left front lower with the torch while turning it to get it loose. Took a while but finally did come out

    Another thing I did on my 52 that helped shifting was to go under the hood and clean the linkage where it attached to the steering column. 60 years of road grime and dried grease gummed up the movement. I scraped and used BrakeKleen to remove it and then sprayed WD40 all over the thing. Really made shifting smoother.

    Hard work pays off. Looks great. As an Aside, Andydodge I once read that 2 door cars were not sold in Australia because the folks there simply refused to buy a car that did not have 4 doors if it had a back seat. Any truth to that? Read it a long time ago and could be just a story. Your post reminded me of it.

    Nice car. One of the reasons I quit going to our local towns once a year show is the fact that it is really a Chevy show and if you can't bring a Chevy maybe a Ford is ok.But a Mopar? Don't bother unless it is a Muscle car. They subtly (or not so subtly) let you know it. Last time I went I was so far away from the main stage I couldn't hear the loud music. Me, the old Jeeps and Furren cars were in exile.

    I also have 215 75 on my 52 Cranbrook and have no problems with drivabilty. Air pressure at 35 PSI

    I guess it depends how much it leaks. Seems most do leak a little from what I see. Are you sure it is the lower half that is leaking?

    Try shifting very slowly into second. That works when my 52 is balky going into second.Pause in neutral with the clutch in to allow gears to mesh speeds.

    The tendency is to assume drunk or worse but in reality could been thing from confusion to medical issues. Sad to here. On the plus side, have a great trip and stay.

    i was involved in the 2009 meet when I was in Dairyland club. Unbelievable the amount of work needed to make it work. Kudos to the Lincoln land group for taking it on.

    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.
  13. plymouthcranbrook
    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.
  16. plymouthcranbrook
    Would have been happy to do so. Wettest May ever here. 8+ inches of rain.
  17. plymouthcranbrook
    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..
  21. plymouthcranbrook
    In a word, no. My 52 Cranbrook seems to run cool and liquid.
  22. plymouthcranbrook
    Looks great.
  23. plymouthcranbrook
    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/
