Thread: Questions about a Plymouth 217ci Flathead

Tweet

I recently purchased a 1953 Plymouth Belvedere 2dr hardtop. It runs good, but I was thinking of rebuilding it as it either has 92k miles on it or 192k miles on it. Either way I was wondering are there options to keeping it stock but basicilly cleaning the ports up and what not? I restore and rebuild vintage italian bikes and I usually polish the ports and open the exhaust a bit, as the original could have been done a bit better. Basicilly match everything up.

So I guess what I am asking any ideas on what could be done to my flathead without making it hopped up???
