50 coupe

I have the HF 2k stand. Used if for my 383 B motor and even used is for a run stand for the same motor. Definitely stable enough.

I just took the link above and submitted request to join. Right below that it shows some of the admins. Looks like you can click on that and submit a message. Try signing into you Facebook first then try the link.

You may need to contact them. They are under new management in the past year so looks like they offer different conversion kits than in the past. I installed one of their conversion kits almost 10 years ago. Over time their kits and parts recommendations have changed based on what parts were affordable and commonly available at the time. So, what is on your car now may not be what they carry now.

If you trying to do original, good luck on finding parts. I pretty much end up just making stuff. Of course my car is more of a Rat than anything else. LOL

Thanks Sniper!!

That is kinda what I thought looking at it. Remind me again what is involved in pulling the coil springs? I did it several years ago when I replaced the king pins but don't recall but I will check my manual. I think something like unbolt the top of the steering knuckle support and shock, support the lower control arm with a hydraulic jack and ease it down to unload the spring????

Can anyone chime in and let me know if this will be enough clearance between the oil pan and this steering member? Looks like 2 inches with steering wheel turned all the way to the left. This is a 1950 Ply. business coupe and I am trying to fit in a 383 Chrysler engine with Torqueflite transmission. The car is off the ground with the frame up on jackstands, and no tires so the suspension is not compressed.

OMG I do remember that add! That is another one 'that would never be allowed today'!

I put a 98 Ford Explorer rear end under my 50 Ply. business coupe. Pretty much the same width, or w/in less than an inch from what I recall. Maybe a junk yard still has these?

Awesome. Thanks for the info!

I know this is a really old thread but just reaching out to ask; I am installing a 383 b block in a 50 Plymouth business coupe and have a couple questions about your motor mounts. They appear to be bolted in vs welded, did you drill the holes in the frame with a hand drill? Did you tap threads for the bolts or did you secure them with nuts? If so, did you have to drill holes on the opposite side of the frame to get the nuts to the bolts? If anyone else knows the answers to my questions, please feel free to respond. Thanks!

I did a Scare bird conversion a few years ago. Works great. Did they indicate if they will offer the 46-54 kit again in the future and when? If so, maybe wait until that time.

You may need to pull the front clip off the car if you haven't already. You prolly gonna have to anyway to fit in motor mounts. I was able to get mine off as all 'one unit'.
