    What happened to this? Is the file covering the E7T2 carb available somewhere?

    Great! I have bought a '49 Plymouth or Dodge 218" with three gears plus overdrive unit. Donor car was equipped with column-shift. I'm not sure but I guess it must be what you show in the picture. My plan is to put everything in my '37 Plymouth Coupe and to use a conversion kit to get the shifter in original floor position, which is center of gearbox. Is that possible with your equipment?

    Hi! I'm working on very much the same set-up exept I'll go with three single barrel Carters. Have you considered another camshaft? I guess your gearbox with O/D will leave you with column shift. Since I want my shifter on the floor, still with O/D, do you have any idea how to fix that?

    I've got a '37 Plymouth coupe with original front suspension. How did you lower it and how much? I want mine down 1 or 2 inches.

    So, where did this operation end up? I'm interested in the final solution since I plan to do the same on my '37 Coupe.

    Well, discs are surely a brakewise good alternative but... plan is a "1955 period correct" racecar like the Cotton Owens -37 Plym with 331 Hemi (Yes, I will use that engine). Thats the reason for using bigger drumbrakes.

    Question... anyone having a suggestion for suitable front drumbrakes, approximately 10 - 11" fitting on original tube axle spindels? I use original 16" wheels. Best would be if I could also find a main brakecylinder, two circuit preferably.

    Thanks everybody for your efforts! I get a little confused though since the figures differs quite a lot. Reason for asking is that I'm gonna put in a 331 HEMI with a T5 gearbox and keep everything else, as far as possible (exept for bigger drumbreaks and an 8 3/4 rear end) in original shape. That means ie keeping the tube axle frontsuspension. I need to know how much extra weight this operation will add. I do not intend to lower the front suspension other than what the extra weight(?) might do.

    ...and Oldguy48, I still can't find any thread or answers...

    Sorry, I really tried to search everywhere in the forum!

    Anybody here knowing the weight of a 201 (or 218/230) cui Plymouth engine, complete with starter, generator etc? I'm also wondering about the weight of the complete engine and manual gearbox together.
  13. Rumblin Rolf
    How much do you intend to lower it in front? I've got a -37 Plymouth BC and my plan is to get it 1-2" closer to the ground... so I'm following this thread with excitement :-)

    Thanx for the info, Don. I found an add for finned alu-covers said to fit all Mopar Flat Six'es. Can't obviously be right then.
  15. Rumblin Rolf
    Is there any difference in size/fastening between the valve cover plates of the Plymouth/Dodge flat six and the Chrysler/DeSoto flat six? Questioning because the different lengths of the engines.
  16. Rumblin Rolf
    Upgrading my 1937 Plymouth BC I wonder if there are any automatic gearboxes with "overdrive" ratio on top gear (also with "direct drive" for better milage cost), fitting directly on the engine? If not, are there any nice adapter sollutions available? Steeringcolumn shifter might also be an alternative. Any suggestions in that matter?
  17. Rumblin Rolf
    Thanks for the overwhelming respons!! To clarify, my car is built in Evansville and the engine # starts with P and is, as far as I see, a "shortblock" 201 cui which means I have to stay with the, as well, short 230 cui (or 218 whith 230 crankshaft).
  18. Rumblin Rolf
    greg g, thanks for the info, you're right about not modify my 201. What year did Plymouth and Dodge stop using the 230's? Was it used even later in military app's, caterpillars, stationary use or such? Since I live in Sweden the amount of donorcars are probably limited... and also the stock of "high performance" parts.

    Being a newbie in this forum, having a 1937 Plymouth BC I'm upgrading, I need some advice regarding the different engines. Might find this info somewhere in this fantastic well of info but ask the question anyway. In what cars and productionyears do I find, especially, the 218 and the 230 engines? My car is in very good original condition and the plan is to get it a bit closer to the ground, maybe upgrade to a T5 gearbox and build a 230 with twin carbs, twin exhaust and a bit higher compression. Also need advice regarding carbs and changing from 6 volts plusground to 12 volts negative. Thanks in advance! /HotRolf
