383 vs 340/kool vs original
Hey guys, sometimes it doesn't have to make sense, it just has to be kool. I had a 1956 Plymouth Savoy that I put a 318 with 2 fours from a 1958 Fury bolted to a two speed pushbuttom Powerflite trans driving a dana rear from a Polara.
This thing was a dog off the line but from about 40 all hell broke loose up to and thru 120. With black wall tires in the front and cheater slicks on the rear with a full set of large stock hub caps she was a real sleeper. Single color with limited chrome and full bumpers, that kool car blew a few hot machines away with a rolling start.
So let the guy experiment and yes hopefully he'll keep the 340 undercover and ready for later, since never is a long time and keeping the old parts is also very kool.
Turn on boy
