Two of my buddies bought a 1966 318 Poly for my wife and i for Christmas! Awesome dudes. It'll look and run nice in the 1950 Dodge.
I have cool friends!!

It came out of a running 66 Coronet i believe it's over 100,000 but re-gasket and re-seal it'll be great for cruising.
Nice! Yes, Merry Christmas to you.

Real nice ! I'd throw a timing chain in it while it's out of the car .
Dang right. And if you ever update it, don't forget, it'll safely bore to 4" and a 4" 360 crank is a drop in. LOL
Now THAT is a good idea!

I plan on going through it changing the timing set and put need valve seals etc.

HEY! that looks like the one in my garage...oh yea, mine still has exhaust manifolds on it. You have my favorite wrench on the engine. 1/2 X 9/16 offset box...you could practically take a car apart with that.
Don't forget to inspect the oil pump & screen, replace if necessary.

Those are schweeet!! I almost stuffed one into a Model A but it ended up being junk.
Too bad all the vintage speed equipment is so rare and expensive, too. Nothing like a fully dressed poly!

My uncle begged me for years to take a running poly out of his garage, I never did, because I had no use for it.

I had an old 50 Dodge back in high school with the flat head 6 in it & three on the tree. It was a blast & damn near indestructible. I sold it before I went into the army to a cousin & he let it sit and rot to the ground.

Fluid drive! It's weird but this 6 has a dead hole and sat for 12yrs outside rather do the swap than stick money into something that's on it's way out.
I'm a sucker for those ol' poly engines! They run so dang smooth! Rusty is almost right. A 340 4 inch crank will drop right in.
