That rock behind the rear wheel was standard equipment on these cars, I kept mine in the trunk.

Gatz, what a cool elegant solution.
Getting closer.
318 poly heads do not fit 259. Why would you do that anyway?
You'll need hemi head bolts and pushrods, poly wont work. Also the exhaust manifold or custom headers.
Depends on why the engine is stuck, if it's rust ATF ain't going to fix it. In the old days I used to wash everything in gas or kerosene. It's a...
The only new tank you're going to find for a 55-56 Dodge or Plymouth is one you make yourself. The tank is pretty simple, I think it would be...
Back in the day (1966) my Dad gave me the ten year old Plymouth and I drove it to High School. I hated being poor, I really wanted a Chevy like...
I'm a lawyer and I'm amazed by all the "legal" advice you've been given. The pragmatic answer is sell the car and pocket the money. If he ever...
I went through a similar process with my 56 Plymouth convertible.
I've bought 1950's Plymouths better than this for $300. Lucky if you even get an offer at $500.
I pulled this off a 1955 Plymouth with a stock cast iron intake. It looks very similar to the correct WCFB for the 55 Plymouth, but the fuel...
Buy some later Plymouth 318 motor mounts, bolt to the block ears on your 277, and weld in new brackets to the frame to catch the long pin that...
The moldings slip into grooves in the weatherstripping, and a lower molding on the windshield and back window are held down with molding clips....
Just use two 6V batteries wired in series.
To be more specific, your 56 V8-277 is essentially the early wideblock 318. Just about everything interchanges with Plymouth and Dodge 318's up...
The demand is so weak, and those who need them are cheap. So there are no stamped panels available. Best bet is to tear up a parts car and...
The original question was why use Plymouth pistons. The answer is the 55 Plymouth 259 had a slightly larger bore than the Dodge 241, and going to...
Here's my 1955 Plymouth P27 with Dodge hemi heads. Went together like a snap! (actually nothing snapped.) Richard

A Canadian 55 Dodge 259 hemi. Richard
I think you'd be better off getting a good tank from a 55-56 Dodge or Plymouth from John Fowley at Big M Auto in Williams, CA. There's a filter...
Here's a photo of an aluminum OFFENHAUSER 3x2 intake with triple Stromberg 97's I did for my 55 Plymouth V8-259. These intakes are still kicking...
I got one of those too, in my 55 Plymouth. I added some 55 Dodge hemi heads, and it started right up. The intake even bolted right up. But, I...
Why don't you get a pair off a parts car?
A complete, not too bad 56 Plymouth convertible around LA, CA sold on eBay for about $9500 several months ago, and I would consider that fair. If...
There were two Powerflites, heavy duty used in Chryslers and Desotos with water cooling and in Fury and D500 without. The standard duty had no...
Here's my Plymouth hemi. I bolted some Dodge 241 hemi heads on my Plymouth 259 block, changed the pushrods, and made some headers. Fired right...
