one-shot Posted August 4, 2020 Share Posted August 4, 2020 I purchased this running motor from a 49 plymouth, that was a true Sunday driver. His Son converted it to a modern motor and auto trans for his father. World could use more sons like that. I'm marking and Documenting all my spares for my wife. It seems to be a aftermarket short block. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nzcarnerd Posted August 4, 2020 Share Posted August 4, 2020 Identifying Chrysler Corp flathead sixes is a minefield but the D165 casting number might suggest it is a 230 cid model from the mid 1950s. There might be a casting date on the head, but of course it may not be wearing its original head. Measuring the bore and stroke is one way of determining the size.

one-shot Posted August 5, 2020 Author Share Posted August 5, 2020 Thank You As you can see I built a stand for it and keep it out of the elements. I turn it over every once in a while. Not quite as taken care of as in a previous life.Wanted to make sure I did not misrepresent it. My 37 ply had a after the war short block and it was uncured/soft. Nothing but trouble. I found a good rebuildable engine for it, before I got this one. Harold 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
