I’ve been away from this board for quite a while, so thought I’d re-introduce myself and show my completed and current projects. I got my 57 Plymouth done in time to take it to Tulsa in 2007 to watch them dig up the 57 Plymouth that had been buried in 1957. It’s a 1956 354 (.060 PAW cam, and custom ...

Got to admire the ingenuity and workmanship. Not to take anything away from the project but here is another option that may be a bit easier if you can braze.

Chrysler, DeSoto and Dodge each had their own unique engines with virtually no interchangeability of parts between the different divisions engines (Plymouth was the stepchild with no Hemi offe...

Found this frorum yesterday and wanted to stop in and introduce myself. I'm a 50+ semi-retired mechanic who started out in a Chrysler/Plymouth dealership in the late 60's where I got my first exposure to both the early Firepower and 426 Hemi's. I am currently in the initial phase of building my 57 P...
