My name is justin i've been a heavy duty diesel tech for 10 years at an international dealer. Mostly ***mins engines 10 to 15 liter displacement . But also some mid grade engines. I do some side work and odd jobs, old farm equipment construction equipment, and so on. My true hobby is offroad 4x4's. The reason i joined is that one of my jobs has put me into a rebuild of a 1953 plymouth 218 inline 6. At least thats what I have been told that it is. I have been searching for information on this engine and have not had alot of luck and have been refered here by several people.
Info. may be a bit limited here, Justin, but there are a few guys who are working on these earlier Plymouths. Check out the Mopar sub-forums and, of course, the restorer forums elsewhere. (Love my ***mins; the Dodge part not so much..)
I bought a reprint manual off ebay " cheap " for our 48 plymouth . Welcome and good luck the 48 original plymouth flathead inline 6 got 21 mpg . Sweet engine . Posted using the Full Custom H.A.M.B. App!
