new here from ***ming, ga. i've got a tech thread going, and i introduced myself last week, but i'm doing it again as now i have pics... anyway - here's the 49 dodge i just picked up. looks like an early 49 as it has the split hood. a little rough, but overall pretty solid. and the ongoing debate - anyone make a carb manidold for a viper engine? i may stay FI with some megasquirt if i can't find/fab one up. but here's the future planned engine. and the best thing about all of it? it was FREE - donated car and donated engine. it's great to teach high school... anyway, hello again to all. sure i'll have some questions soon.

Hey Bud, I Am A True Mopar Person And Just As A favor Want To Tell You That The Pictured Is NOT A 49 But a 46-48 !! The BIG Body Change Did Come In Fourty Nine And Was A Totally New Body. Trust Me On This One!! MOPAR TO YA!!!!! Tom
allpar.com says that leftover 48's were sold as early 49's... http://www.allpar.com/cars/dodge/wayfarer.html "Like the other cars produced by Chrysler for the 1949 model year, Dodge wasnt ready with its first all-new postwar cars in time for the fall 1948 new car roll-outs; as a result, 1948s were sold through April as first series 1949s. " plus the ***le says 49. anyway, not trying to argue, as you may be right... thanks for the kind words. and yes, it is nice to have freebies every once in a while.
