Well the time is now, this 47 Plymouth business coupe SD has stalled for a year, but only for good reason. the original plan was a mild build with a 318 Magnum. But i was able to get my hands on an entire 08 Charger R/T, that's getting turned into a drag runner. Yup that means the 5.7 Hemi, trans, interior, steering column, gauges, seats, and entire electrical system is being installed in the the Plymouth. AND ONLY ABOUT A MONTH TO FINISH!!! Engine: 5.7 Hemi Trans: 5 speed Tiptronic Steering: 89 Chevy caviler Rear end: 01 ford explorer (DSK Brake typ) http://s1268.photobucket.com/user/vethd32/media/IMG_20170326_192443944_zps2oqtkxxj.jpg.html?filters[user]=144930205&filters[recent]=1&sort=1&o=1 http://s1268.photobucket.com/user/vethd32/media/IMG_20170325_112957080_zps742lbbze.jpg.html?filters[user]=144930205&filters[recent]=1&sort=1&o=3 http://s1268.photobucket.com/user/vethd32/media/IMG_20160709_241347219 1_zpsunomkp06.jpg.html?filters[user]=144930205&filters[recent]=1&sort=1&o=4 Ill try to keep this feed updated as best i can!

I posted yesterday regarding a 383 conversion in my 1946 plymouth. My reasoning for the swap was for speed. I currently have the stock flathead six with a 12 volt conversion and the car is maxed out at 55 mph. I was thinking about using the wilcap transmission adapter and bolt in a 700r4 overdrive transmission. I was wondering if this transmission conversion will get me more speed. What other things could I do to get the stock flathead to hit 65-75mph? I have been told the transmission conversion with a change in the gearing would help. Just looking for some guidance. Thanks!

I have a 1946 plymouth club coupe. I was thinking about swapping the flathead six for a 383 out of a 1966 dodge polara. I know I will have to swap out the rear end as well. I am not very experienced at this kind of thing. Does anyone know if the rear end from the 1966 dodge polara would work for my 1946 club coupe?
