Those early polys are great looking engines and that one should move that Plymouth along nicely.

 

Great looking engine but I really would think about a 318 balancer.

 

Nice looking engine man.

sunbeam whats the 318 balancer do for it tuck the pulleys in closer?

 

A lot of the low deck Dodges came w/o a damper.

 

Low deck dodge car motors came without dampers and some had crank problems. Just good insurance.

 

...plenty of cracked cranks in the 241-260-270 w/o the harmonic dampener.
A and LA dampeners fit with a stepped key or you can re-broach the hub. Yes, the timing marks will be useless but easy to remark for TDC.

Intended to say... A lot of the low deck Dodges came w/o a damper. Adding one cuts down on crank problems, guess I was in a hurry!

 

Kool thanks guys I learned something today now I can start drinking.

 

yes....nice car and motor.....

 

Thanks y'all. I did read that crank breakage was an issue sometimes. I'll look into the dampener.

Primarily a problem racing 241s, but it would be a good idea to put one on.

 

Great looking ride. Nothing like the sound of the first run either. Congrats, bet it sounds great.

 

Nice. How'd you lower it? Cut coils.
