Hi There try going to the discussion forum of www.p15d24.com

You will find lots of really great ideas for your year of car, however also remember that you will have to include gearbox, diff and rear suspension if you go the V8 way. Check out some of the cool things guys have done to the standard engines as well.

Not to be smart but why not just buy a newer car if that is the kind of car you want?

A 1957 or newer Dodge will have an OHV v8, torqueflite trans, power steering power brakes torsion bar suspension everything you want except discs.

around 1965 or 66 up comes with discs too.

A 1950 Dodge is not exactly the hopeless wreck a lot of people think. If everything is in good shape it is perfectly capable of keeping up with modern traffic.

To turn that car into the kind of car you seem to want, you would have to gut it like a trout and do thousands of $$$$$ bucks worth of work.

It would be a lot better to either accept it for what it is, or sell it and buy the kind of car you really want.
