I found a polyhead in an old savoy on a farm thought it would look cool in a hotrod anyone runnin one...?
I had one back in the day... Looked great, the valve covers set people to scratching their heads . It ran strong.
Betty has a 1956 Dodge 325 poly. You could pull the poly heads and put hemi heads on the older poly's (same block) Newer polys had a block the LA motors were based on. Cool Engine I agree. Kevin Tully of Hot Rod Ch***is & Cycle built Betty and liked the poly a lot. He has been heard to say "I hate small block chevys"
Hey - some of us poly guys are at work... sleepin'. HELL YES there's lots of us out here. ANy questions? We can help. Also, you may want to visit the Polyspherical Engine ***ociation at http://www.geocities.com/polyman64 ! There's links to the poly Yahoo Group (where we all hang out) and the poly forum (where we all mostly just lurk) at the top of the page! ~Jason
hey guys i have a factory 2/4 intake for a older 318 poly mopar number 1822004 c87 in very good shape 375 plus shipping e mail timshotrod@windstream.netfor pic thanks tim
I am proud of my old poly, it is very tired but just keeps on keepin on. I was so fortunate to purchase a rebuilt 277 from a great guy in the Coffeyville, Ks. Mike Clark.He has a ton of OES parts, a real bargain at $500.00 I hope the new one is as dependable.I am looking for a 4-barrel manifold for the 277, headers source, better dizzy of some sort. Poly is a *****--and I love her!!-Sololobo
For you ignition issues, just convert to Mopar electronic, part number: P3690426. Best electronic package available.
***uming that is the LA 318 dist. electronic upgrade, it"ll fit the 277/318 Polys mentioned earlier, but not the original guy's 325 Poly.
I'm running one. It was going to get replaced with a big block at one time, but then I decided I liked the "oddness" of the poly.
