Default Re: Anyone here familiar with 1940's Dodge products?

I dunno Eric, you sure this thing isn't cursed? Seriously, I don't believe in such nonsense. In the end it is mostly just a bunch of metal, right?

I sure hope someone close can help you out. Sounds exactly like the kind of lunacy I would jump on. I bought an 83 BMW 745i (gray market factory turbo car... never imported) with the head and associated turbo parts in the trunk about 20 years ago. Several of the turbo only parts were missing (guy was going through a divorce and his wife had a garage sale.... nice). I had a couple of pictures to go by, but nothing else.

Drove that car to work this morning. It had 105,000 miles on it when I bought it, and is at 312,000 right now. So there is hope. I don't speak mopar, but I am sure someone around there does. Picked it up the day after thanksgiving and was driving it (new block, new head) by New Year's day.

Other option is to keep searching the interweb for engine shots of original mopars from the time period. Back then, things tended to stay the same for several years. I also wouldn't expect much difference in cars and trucks as far as getting things hooked up.

Best of luck.
