Engine compatibility question ?

Chet, did you get the motor mounts that go on the bell housing? I have looked at the pictures and you can see mine. Still has the pb ser#. I am not concerned about it. I would just like to know what happened That got it this way.

The transmission and bell housing appear to be from a PA or PB in that the motor mount is on the transmission not the bell housing.  That might make sense since the car it was intended for is a 31 Plymouth.  These early Plymouth parts have a tendency to find a home just about anywhere.  On my 29 the bell housing bolts directly to the frame.

Chet-- I hope the car to be rodded had a VERY bad, rusty body. It REALLY pisses me off when these chuckleheads take a perfectly good antique and destroy it.

Doug,

It may better that you don't know.  The car will be an award winner for sure but it may not take any awards at a POC meet.  Doug I feel the same way you do but I don't get mad I just try to save as many old parts as I can.   I would prefer that if these parts are going to be removed (and they will, no matter what we think) that they go to a Plymouth Restoration in need of them.  It's very hard to change people's attitudes toward things and in the long run it will still be another Plymouth back out on the road.
