    Has anyone installed a 392 or 426 Hemi in a 1950 Plymouth? Possible? Reasonable? or Forget it. Appreciate your comments.

    Hi

    I am just getting started to do this now, a Jr. Thompson 392 hemi in a 1952 Plymouth wagon. Not wanting to deal with space problems I went with an Art Morrison chassis, no steering problems and plenty of room for the HotHeads long tube headers.

  4. Installed a few SBC and SB-M engines in those. All needed to have the firewall modified or recessed to clear. You would probably have to do the same.
