That port layout looks like an AMC six engine configuration.
I have a 1959 Chrysler Imperial 413 cubic inch engine and three speed cast iron torque flite trans.Complete with starter and shift cable. Engine...
Here is one that I was asked to fix for a guy. It may be for sale.
One way to clean the deposits off the valves without pulling the heads apart is to use an oxy-acetylene brazing torch with a small tip. Make sure...
I have seen that kind of buildup on intake valves while working at Chrysler engineering on the 440 six pack engines. It was due to a excessive...
I have a Craftsman. I use it to cut every thing from wood to 1/2" steel. Cuts roll bar tubing like it is hot butter.
We had a run in stand with a Go-Power dyno so we could test an engine before it was delivered. We would invite the customer to see it run before...
OK, I kind of don't like watching a dog chase his tail. I have been following this post since it started. I made a couple suggestions, but I got...
Didn't hook the battery up backwards ? Pretty sure they were positive ground . I will be corrected if i'm wrong.
Don't know, I had a 51 and a 52 at the same time back in the 60's and they had different grills? Maybe someone changed them to make a custom.
The 51 had two bars in the grill and the 52 had three bars in the grill.
Looks like a 1952. I had a two door sedan back in 1961.
You will find that the heads on the 360 Magnum truck motor usually crack between the intake and exhaust valve seats. Lot of people at Chrysler...
You will find that a lot if not all the big block motor homes had HEMI transmissions in them. Check the number stamped on the pan rail. They had...
I put a receiver on a S-10 behind the licence plate. Just made a licence plate frame with a couple of spring hinges I found at an Ace Hardware....

If you did not pull the heads and intake, you could do a leak check by putting a plate on the carb flange with an air fitting in it, then blocking...
If the builder milled the heads and didn't adjust the intake, you could have a large oil and coolant leak between the head and manifold.
It wasn't shipped filled to the cam with oil was it? May have too much oil in it .Maybe a broken ring. If a ring is broke, it will score the hell...
One reason for the oil pump to lock up is the relief valve sticking. Pressure can go high enough to blow the oil filter off of it's base. Seen...
Something else you could check that happened to me one time, The distributor drive gear slipped on it's shaft because the oil pump did not want to...
Ya, they don't like Hemi Dakotas either.
Be willing to bet you ain't the first one to forget the nut. My trick is putting the nut on backwards.
I would loosen the trans mounting bolts on the bell housing and see if that frees up the crank. Some of the old Hemi's did not have the pilot hole...
Guess you found out these guys don't care for Mopars. If they have the valves and springs in them and they are not ported they could bring close...
They were used on GMC diesels. The 3 is for the number of cylinders and the 71 is the cubic inches of each cylinder. Thus 3-71, 4-71, 6-71, 8-71....
When I put an 8 3/4 " rear in my 52 Plymouth, I used the clamp plates off of a 58 Plymouth. They have the shock mount on them. Most newer Mopars...
We used Marman clamps at Chrysler engineering for all our dyno hookups. They worked fine.
I have 6 virgin aluminum castings that are for 1932 Buick. These are not factory castings. They are not machined. The price is $25.00 each. You...
Get a complete chassis from a two wheel drive Dakota and mount the Plymouth body on it.
