wayfarer Posted December 16, 2014 Report Posted December 16, 2014 ....seriously tho the early 1955/56 "sculpted" Plymouth 241, 259, 270 and 277 were never available here in Oz, the 1st Mopar V8 used in Oz was the 303 Poly in the 1957 AP1 Chrysler Royal.........anyway back to my corner I go..........lol........andyd The 277 is an A series engine, same as the 318P. It is not part of the Hemi based poly engine series (Dodge 241, 260, 270, 315, 325; and Chrysler 301, 331, 354). DeSoto never had a poly version of their Hemi; the 1957 KDS was a 325 Dodge engine. Chrysler never had a poly version of the 392. Quote
rockin rebel Posted December 17, 2014 Author Report Posted December 17, 2014 wow, like I said a vast amount of knowledge... I knew there was a 318 poly, and that was it ! now I know so much more..thanks for all of this, Lloyd Quote
fstfish66 Posted December 19, 2014 Report Posted December 19, 2014 the part that makes me laugh,,is most people never heard of the poly,,and it started when ? 1952/3 ? along with the hemi in 1953...but they still love to talk how the small block chevy was a mile stone and changed the world,,, cracks me up they have no clue,then it looks like they stole the poly idea,staggered valves and call it a 348,,,lol is it me or ????

50 coupe Posted January 13, 2015 Report Posted January 13, 2015 (edited) Little history on the Poly, by Ron Ceridono, in the current Street Rodder. Covers both versions. I had no clue His book ' The Complete Chrysler Hemi Manual' has lots of on early Hemi and Poly series motor info and build tips. A must have if you are messing with one of these old motors.

Andydodge Posted January 13, 2015 Report Posted January 13, 2015 yep, got that Tex Smith/Ron Ceridono book.......but am curious about the Street Rodder magazine article.........andyd Quote
BobK Posted January 14, 2015 Report Posted January 14, 2015 The poly article is in the March 2015 issue of Street Rodder and is written by Ron Ceridono, about 2 printed pages long. No real new info that is not already in the Tex Smith book. It does, however mention the new 4 bbl intake and other parts for the poly. Do a web search for PolySuperPac.com for info on those. Quote

BobK Posted January 20, 2015 Report Posted January 20, 2015 FYI..... The new issue of Chrysler Power magazine, Feb. '15, has several pages on the new Poly parts and their Poly powered project car. Quote
