    Question New engine in 1950 Dodge?

     



    Hi all!
    I am new here. Anyone ever put a new engine into a 1950 Dodge Coronet? I am not sure whether a Chevy 350 or a Ford 302 w/manual transmission will fit. Thanks in advance.
    Fred

    hi

    i have the same project going on. I have a 1950 dodge 230". I was going to restore it but found a crack in the rear of block after doing some compression tests.

    i have a 440" in my garage but am looking at info on what i need to do to make it fit as its a HUGE block.

    let me know how youre project is doing. send some pics too!!

    The steering box is in the way of a V8. If you do a front clip, anything will fit.

    thanks for the info. i was talking to a wrench about that and he suggested i pick up a rack and pinion system from the junk yard.

    can you explain about doing the front clip? suggestions?
