Did you have any issues with clearance for your steering? Love what your doing with it! Im planning on building a 1950 Plymouth special deluxe and ive been looking into what engine/transmission to swap into it and im hoping to keep the original steering
Yes. Look at older videos. Moved column straight, swivel joints, 64-66 barracuda power steering exhaust manifolds. A LOT OF WORK. If I had to do it again, I wouldn’t. I would look into slant six. No easy swaps in this vehicle.
@@screamnmonkee I'm glad you said that, I just bought 50 Deluxe and was thinking of swapping in a 318 but since you said you wouldn't do it again if you had to, I have a Chevy 250 Inline Six and 4 speed auto trans that came out of a 75 Nova 4 door that was rebuilt a couple years ago and never put into anything that's sitting in my shop, I wonder how hard that swap would be, the 218 that is in the car is missing the head and valve covers, and has been for quite a while according to the guy I bought it from and I know I don't want to fool with it, there's a vintage restoration garage here in my hometown so I think I'll just donate the motor to them, and let the experts mess with it.
Looks good
Doing a great job !
Great job MOPAR for life 👍🏻🇦🇺.
Love it!
I have a 52 Chrysler, trying to swap the same engine in it. What mounts did you use for the engine and trans ?
What did you use for upper and lower radiator hose?
Universal hoses.
@screamnmonkee that's the route I was leaning towards. Mostly checking to see if there was another option

Still a clean swap IMHO :)

where did you get the engine and transmision mounts
Butch’s, but it is not easy swap. Engine in and out 8 times. Instructions useless. Kit is really for 48-49.
