Young Ed Posted July 19, 2011 Report Share Posted July 19, 2011 I wonder with mods like that what kind of power you can get out of one. Whenever we want Dad and I could buy a 30U off a neighbor. It was his first car and has been buried in his garage for decades but its in decent condition. He also has a 55 New Yorker 4dr with a hemi, air, power windows etc and used to have a 39 ply 2dr(his second car) and a 49ply fastback Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don I suspect he's done a little more than I'd want to do to the 30U. It does look like his 4cyl is also a 14 23 split. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I noticed that split too. Interesting carburetors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greg g Posted July 19, 2011 Report Share Posted July 19, 2011 Hey Ed, we were talking with a fellow who is way into 4 cylinder stuff especially the tour. Mark Aubuchon and I were talking about the POC and the WPC and the "stir" some of us seem to cause whe we show up. What body style is the U? We were talking about what The POC 4 Cylinder tour needs is a Plymouth hot rod roadster or speedster. Was talking to Dennis Williams and he has possesion of a three carb intake for a plymouth 4 banger. Yep its been modified to take two down draft carbs as well as as the center mounted updraft. Linkage might be a challange. We could have old moose weld us up a dual exhaust, slap a 5 speed behind it, mount up some radials on some artillery rims and take the tour for a ride......

Young Ed Posted July 19, 2011 Report Share Posted July 19, 2011 The U by me is a sedan I believe 4dr. The garage is so full of stuff I've only ever seen the back of the car. The rest is buried. At one time he sold it and someone else repainted it and fixed up the interior and then he bought it back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plymouthasc Posted August 9, 2011 Report Share Posted August 9, 2011 I know the car, but I don't know who it belongs to. Perhaps someone on the forum will know and post the information. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
