dodge 1940

hello! anyone how knows what engine I have in my 1940 dodge, it is a buissnes cupé. its on its way to sweden so I cant just look. thanks

 

Do you have a pic at least? Mopars are cool. I have owned my '40 Plymouth since 90.

 

Probably a 218 c.i. 23" long flathead with a 7.5-1 compression ratio producing about 95HP. See the good folks at the P15-D24 forum for more info on these cars - they do stockers and hotrods there, so long as it is early Mopar

 

I'm another proud owner of a '40 Plymouth. Post some pics when she gets over there.

 

That pic you have under your name, does that have a Desoto grill?

 

I have a 40 Ply as well...p9 RK...2 door sedan.

Currently looking for brakes and rear end options.

My car is 100% original.

I have a '41 Pymouth Bus. coupe. Love the grille and body stye.
It's in the cl***ifieds.

 

If you want drum front brakes you can bolt on the backing plates from 65-71 D100 trucks. The seal gets a little tricky but I found a metric seal at a local bearing warehouse that works. The inner bearing race requires a sleeve to convert to the D100 diameter which I made from chro-moly tubing.
I used a tandem master cylinder from a 66 F100 with a modified original master cylinder bracket and pedal to retain the stock appearance.

Good Luck

 

Lets see, You bought a vehicle without seeing it in person and don't even know what kind of engine it has?
