I talked to the guy that I bought the frame from and I guess I heard him wrong its a late 30s frame. Or I might have just been thinking of the car that one of the local P.D.s is letting me haul off with. They have a 1930 something 2 DR Sedan, and a 1965 T-Bird on the haul off list.

But The engine is a "D44" 1953 241 Hemi. The only thing that Im doing to it is a new carb or 2 and a little TLC. Im not realy intrested in beefing it up to much. I would love to know of anyone that had one of these motors in the 50s and what they did to it to get more power out of it. I dont realy want to bore it due to some of the problems that happen to the older motors that get bored. But I think 140 - 150 hp should be more than enough for the old dodge. As for the rear end I guess I was just asking about it do to it would look good with the older style rear on it, but I do want to be able to play and not kill myself or be on the side of the road. Yea the old car might look good but not on the side of the road. I chose the little 241 Hemi just because it was a 50s motor and ,....hell its a hemi. I chose the little 241 over the other 10 hemis that were there. I know squat about hemis so dont get me fibing to you about the sizes. But I wanted a good period looking car and hell I couldnt put anything but a Mopar in a Mopar. It just wouldnt be the same with a chevy motor in the old Dodge. And hell I know squat about building a car of this age too. I can work on something in the 50s up... and all I ever had when I was in High School was Muscle Cars. So this is a new step for me and I want to make something I think is cool, I really dont care if everyone thinks its ugly, if I think its fun thats cool to me. I dont realy want the big tires in the rear and I DO want white walls all the way around it. I want it loud and fun. If my ears aint bleeding by the time I get to where im going , the drive sucked. I think this little Dodge Brothers has great Hot Rod potential.
