embe5412 Posted June 14, 2015 Share Posted June 14, 2015 Here's the deal. I bought an engine, transmission, radiator and rock guard under the impression that they were built for a 1936 Plymouth. Little did I know just because an engine comes out of a '36 doesn't necessarily mean it was built in '36. In other words I should have checked the serial number first. So now I have a running 1939 Plymouth engine for sale. Since I had the engine shipped from outside Atlanta to Oklahoma I must get exactly what I paid for it. I'm not making a profit here. I just need to break even. $700.00USD. The details about what you get. The engine, carb, air cleaner, front mount bracket and rock guard. The starter needs rebuilt/completed. If you would like to see it run go to YouTube and my channel is 'Jon Emberson'. Type '1939 Plymouth engine' 9188862469. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hudsy Wudsy Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 I hope others heed your story. So very many Plymouth and Dodge engines were interchangeable that there was rarely ever any reason to pay to rebuild one. People swapped them regularly. I always think about that when I see the many engines for sale these days due to street rodding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpage Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 All of the Chrysler built sixes from '35-'52 are basically the same block but there are 2 different length blocks. There are a few changes in things like the water pumps, manifolds and linkage connections but any of the same length blocks should work. I have a complete engine here taken from a '36 Dodge but it's a later Plymouth block. Plymouth used head bolts will the Dodge used studs and nuts. This engine was running when I got it but I used another engine for my car as pictured in my avitar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
