Now I am trying to sell the photographs (www.NebraskaSky.Etsy.com), but don't know what the year of the car is. If I knew the year of the car, it would help me with labeling and selling the images. If anyone could help me out, it would be great. I see Saratogas were made in the late 1950s.]]> http://www.classiccar.com/forum/discussion/141271/torque-specs Thu, 17 Feb 2011 10:51:57 +0000 hudson40 141271@/forum/discussions Does anyone know of a web site that has torque specs for a 1931 4 clyinder engine?
I need to know what the torqe specs are to replace the head gasket and the oil pan gasket. Thank you for any help you can give me.]]> http://www.classiccar.com/forum/discussion/135371/looking-for-performance-parts-for-225-slant-six- Wed, 20 Oct 2010 01:31:16 +0000 hdsn49 135371@/forum/discussions

I have been doing some measuring and finding there is not much room front to back for this engine. It looks like I will need to use an electric pusher fan assembly in front of the radiator and lose the mechanical fan. I was able to find OE motormounts for the engine but will need to fab mounts to go onto the frame of the car. It also looks like there is a problem with the exhaust manifolds in that the outlet on the driver's side dumps out on top of the power steering gear box. the 6 volt generator (i'd like to change over to 12 volt) has the power steering pump attached to the back of the generator.

So now you are able to see some of the problems I am facing in order to stuff this engine into the engine bay.

Has anyone performed an engine swap like this and if so how did you address some of these problems that i have mentioned as well as any other problems that I have not forseen yet? I thought I saw somewhere where someone was talking about getting rid of the p/s gear box and using a rack and pinion setup from a Cavalier (anyone know the details?). I am wondering also what pump was used?

My father was a Chrysler engineer during the time this car was built. He passed away when I was a lot younger than I am now and I would like to put this car together but not necessarily in stock form. He was into performance so he would appreciate this car seeing as he helped to design it. He was with Chrysler until 1962.

Any and all ideas,suggestions,experience in doing a swap like this is welcome! I think this would be a cool deal with a 400bb between the frame rails along with the 727 trans. Thank you in advance.

I ran across a guy with a nice Highlander trim 1950 Chrysler sedan with the original but well worn upholstery. He can't find a source for the fabric but howstuffworks states the fabric is still available for restorers. I've googled the heck out of it but no luck. I took the guys card and told him I would see what I could do. Does anyone here have any possible source for the raw fabric?







thanks!]]> http://www.classiccar.com/forum/discussion/128666/new-here-questions-on-1955-dodge-royal- Tue, 06 Jul 2010 15:54:47 +0000 TeresaC123 128666@/forum/discussions


I hope you're doing well. Well, I don't have any knowledge when it comes to old Dodge cars... All I know is we have a 1955 4dr Dodge Royal.. it has the original motor (semi hemi?) and transmission. It runs, but needs a little brake work. The interior is in fair condition, the exterior needs a little work, no huge dings, just a few spots of surface rust... It's a pretty neat car.



We're not sure if it's worth anything to sell, we have a baby on the way and this seems to be the best option. Unless it's not worth much - we can just hold on to it...



I'd love your input... We're complete newbies when it comes to this particular car.



Thank you so much,

Teresa]]> http://www.classiccar.com/forum/discussion/127791/new-guy-with-questions-about-a-1962-chrysler-newport Fri, 18 Jun 2010 18:56:53 +0000 Vermonter 127791@/forum/discussions


My main question is does it need lead re-placer with every fuel up? There is a gas station near me that does non-ethanol gas, should I try to only fill up there (I have heard that ethanol can damage older seals/fuel lines.)

I am planning on doing an oil change/all fluids change right off the bat, is there any special oil, transmission fluid, coolant...that I should be looking for?

and what would be a fair asking price for one of these with low rust, runs and drives? (I know its hard without pics, but a price range would be help full)

Any help would be appreciated,



Thank you
