Plymouthy Adams Posted February 6, 2014 Report Posted February 6, 2014 (edited) it is documented about the Silver dome name carring over to the 6...and the next reference to an actual engine name for the Plymouth flathead was the introduction of the 230 to the Plymouth line up in mid 54 with the Power Flow 6 I have one of these and it surely had no real distinctive castings on the head claim to new name..that I can recall seeing...lol of course there may be other names...I did check original literature for my P15 and the later factory stuff for the P18 with no special name mentioned..

Don Coatney Posted February 6, 2014 Report Posted February 6, 2014 What about the rare and sought after "P" cast into the head? Quote

Plymouthy Adams Posted February 6, 2014 Report Posted February 6, 2014 TodFitch, on 06 Feb 2014 - 4:54 PM, said: Don't know about '34 but "Silver Dome" was cast into the head in '33. The photo is of a '33 or '34 block as evidenced by the visible cylinder bores on the left side of the engine. From the oil pump its a mid-1933 or later engine but the photo of the left side does not clearly show the oil pressure relief valve area so I can't tell if its a mid-1933 or a late-1933/1934 block. Engine number above the generator would say. Looks like a post WW2 carburetor based on the mounting for the air filter. . . Also that exhaust manifold is for a later engine, 1933 and 1934 had rear dump. Thanks for the picture...I would have missed this I would think as I would be looking for something more in tune to the Spitfire head and the lightening bolts.. Quote
TodFitch Posted February 7, 2014 Report Posted February 7, 2014 What about the rare and sought after "P" cast into the head? Don't know about that but the photo I posted above shows that the head on my engine was Politically Correct (PC). (Actually I think it has PC on it as it was introduced on the 1933 PC model Plymouth.) Quote
builtfercomfort Posted February 7, 2014 Report Posted February 7, 2014 (edited) I thought the Silverdome was in Pontiac MI? Hosted a Super Bowl in Jan '82? It sold for a bit over a half mil. So you're in the money if you have one of those in the garage. Edited February 7, 2014 by builtfercomfort Quote
