Well I have given up finding a good replacement flatty for my '50 Coronet. I thought about a rebuild but 2K later and I would still have an underpowered car. Solution? My local country junkyard parts guy has in the corner of his shop a nice 318 out of a '71 Dart at too good a price to pass up. This guy knows Mopars like nobody's business. The engine has an unusual upswept exhaust manifold on the drivers side. Question is would that manifold give me the clearance needed for the steering column?
