Hello all...I have been building a 50 Wayfarer with a Ford 351m 400 with a C-6...
Yeah, I know but only engine I had at the time...
I used a Champion 4 core radiator for a 67 Mustang and it's not cooling...
I need a bigger radiator that will fit without completely redesigning the core support...
Any ideas?
I have the build log here... http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/threads/1950-dodge-wayfarer-sedan-build.492556/

 

do you have the correct thermostat? that engine family requires a unique thermostat that closes off the internal coolant bypass in addition to "opening" to let the coolant flow to the radiator.

 

Kind of stock, I boxed the upper control arms and reinforced the lowers, added rack & pinion steering, made disc brake adapters and added baggs

OLD MOPARS are Alive and Well! Just not as many of us as the Four Letter 'F' word. Haha
I have a '29 Chrysler 5w Coupe with a Rumble seat and 354 Hemi, a '35 Plymouth 5w Coupe with a 345 Desoto Hemi (thinking of how I can make it a really sweet 3w coupe by moving the roof forward, and using another set of doors I have to give the back of the door a radius like the front has). Also, I just bought a '37 Dodge 1/2 ton Pickup and I'm planning on running a late 40's-early 50's Dodge flathead in it. It was a MGM (Metro Goldwyn Mayer) movie truck. I think they used it as a "back lot" truck to run costumes around in. I'm going to keep the MGM lettering on the doors and maintain the patina.

 

Hello Mopar friends. Just posting some pictures of my 1940 DeSoto cpe's.

nice 33 Chrysler!

 

Amazing gorgeous car! I suppose it's running a big straight flat head eight?
More pictures, please.

 

Hello GroundAssault,

Is that movie truck a white colored 1.5 Ton?

Cool cars! I am building a 1936 Dodge 1/2 truck running a 331 or 354 Hemi. I have a stack of Hemi's and need to decide which direction to take....

I am restoring a 1937 ME-32, out of the 20 or so flatheads I have here, none of them are a 251 -or- 265 as I desire. Tough engines to find! So I will drop in a 228" and wait until something bigger comes along my way...

My 1938 Plymouth PT57 will be restored all original.

More pics.

 

Wow! Very cool and rare car! I can only imagine how much fun it has to be to drive.... Are you going to keep the drive line original?

I need hubcaps for one of those cars. Do you have any idea where a set can be found?

Rare also because most have sidemount spares. I stuck the rear spare in the rumble seat floor and moved the license plate to the center so it didn't get bent by people walking by the left tail light. I got it running nicely. Didn't like the original carb, so I made an adapter to fit a '48 buick super 2bbl with auto choke. Starts instantly and purrs like my cat after a vigorous rubdown. I had a 331 hemi ready to transplant if the straight 8 was stuck, but that ain't happening now. Hubcaps seem to be scarce. Could use a couple better ones myself. Ebay is the swap meet of today, unfortunately.

 

52' plymouth

 

did a wedding just before the motor died on me. thought i'd share the photographers shots while i rebuild the block.

 

Harry,...very slick 3 window.

My Kid's '37 Dodge .....A Constant work in progress ....

 

Harry the top and hood are beautiful on your 3 window ,as is the rest of the car

 

thanks.here some pictures

 

Wow, that looks great .Plymouth should have put that in their design,they always looked flat on top and blunt in the front.do you mind me asking how much you sliced out of the hood front to rear .Again nice metal work.I ask because I have a 50 3 window Im working on also.

 

I really want this but I cant justify paying $16000 for something I want to cut up

Hallo,I put out 3" in front and zero at the rear.when you look at Facebook. Harry's car project. You can see i put te middel section 10" to the front Gr harry

 

Thank you John... eBay is truly hit or miss for alot of stuff I need. Unfortunately, if I find it, I pay too much. If I want to sell something, I end up giving it away.... Oh well, life in our hobby! LOL

It's good to know that you were able to get the Buick carb to work so well.
