Thread: 318 will it fit in a 49 plymouth frame?

Tweet

you offset the engine to the left?

cool. That'll even out the weight distribution when you are driving solo.

Did you create any undesired U-joint angle at the differential?

All MoPar V8's were offset in the muscelcar years.
As was suggested, you can fit anything into anything. I put a 392 Hemi in a 48 DeSoto, and there was no more room there than in a 49 Plymouth.

No there is no Bias. The parts that Plydo supplied for the motor mounts and the tranny Crossmember worked great.

Any one have any connections on where to get a decent deal on engine parts. I need to get a new ignition system and I would like to dress the engine out with some nice crome parts. I also need the Flexplate and ring gear as wel as a tourque converter.

All these things are so expensive. I don't have to tell any of you that though. My wife and I just had our first child so funds are a bit tight.

well pretty much!,if i could only lay my hands on a 392!

you got any pics of what you got done?

Here are a few of my 340 swap into a 48 plym coupe. I cut the complete firewall out and moved back. works well now
