I am happy to say that I was fortunate enough to purchase Joe s 58 Belvedere conv 350..black that was presented here some time ago. She will be a fine companion to my 58 Fury. I was fascinated by the story of this car and the relative good shape of the car..so decided to purchase the car as soon as I got in touch with the nice guy Joe. Very nice guy, he held to his word like real men do. Thank you Joe for an easy and pleasant deal.
The car is now equipped with a good running 383 and 4 speed...my plan is to keep the 383 for now, update it with a correct intake and setof four bolt heads, and replacing the auto trans. The original 350 wioll be kept for history, but prefere to wear out the 383, not original to the car. In the meantime, will be restoring the interior to sotck, but willl try to keep the viontage racer identity, leaving the SW gauges and installing some vintage 5 spoke mags with blackwall tires. Nothing that cannot returned to stock in a couple days work. Car is leaving the US these days....will be in Italy around february. Wanto to say thank you to John Fowlie, that has helped me with the missing seat, and the 59 413 heads.

WELL BOUGHT, Antonello!

But, if you are going to (have to-) do any work on the engine, you might as well overhaul, as necessary,
the OEM 350 engine which was built 'with' your car.

At this late-date (2014), you are NOT going to harm or destroy that 350 c.i. optional Golden Commando Schwartzeneger
engine, by cruising around in the car, and, besides having a MATCHING-numbers 350 engine in it, you'll have BRAGGING rights
on its engine....instead of merely EXCUSES....as to why it's got (another...ho-hum) 383 engine in it.

Go for the gusto!

Put its OEM power plant back inside it, please!

Hello Neil
I will probably end up putting the engine back where it belongs...but it will be a long thing. As you know, 350 pistons are not existant...I could bore the block 0.60 and install 361 std pistons...but they are low compression units. That's why I am considering to keep the 383 for now...dress up like a 350 and enjoy the car as is. In the meantime,if I can find some good NOS 350 pistons, I can bore the block. But I don't like the idea of adapting 361 pistons.

Antonello -

If the 350 block has some miles on it, wouldn't it need to be bored out anyway ? I would take it to 361. Is the 350 block an original 58 Plymouth big block ?

Unrelated: Do you still have the 58 New Yorker wagon ? Years ago, I sold you a bunch of parts from one that I parted out.

I think 350 pistons are available from Egge Machine in CA, at least they were when I had my '58 Firesweep Sportsman.

The block is an original Plymouth block. 361 pistons would mean 0.60 overbore, no space for a mistake or another overbore. Besides, I don't want low compression pistons, or truck pistons, as are the 361 unit avaible now. Besides, knowing that I am driving a 383 would give me peace of mind if something goes wrong.
The 58 NY wagon is still here...but don't use since 3 years...

Last time I looked, only std bore or + 0.0625" / 4& 1/8 were available off the shelf NEW...

 

Egge didn't keep them or respond to any correspond with any requests to run a batch off.

 

I landed these recently after many YEARS of regular looking....   gudgeons included but no rings !

 

Keep looking, they will turn up eventually....... Colin

Hi I'm planning to do about the same with my 57 Dodge Mayfair Convert. I purchased a 1965 Chrysler Windsor sedan [ Canadian Made] for the powertrain/driveline and intend to install it in the convertible and so far I'm just contemplating the issues I'm going to run into making the switch. I see by the photos that you installed headers Question: Did you have them made up or special ordered ? Motor mount issues transmission mounts etc What changes did you make if any?. A heads up with this conversion would be greatly appreciated.

I don't know if you know it, but your 57 mayfair convertible might be one of only two or three surviving examples in the world. I know its your car and you can do what you want with it, but in my opinion, a car as rare as this deserves to be restored properly and I wouldnt put a non original drivetrain in it.


And by the way, as far as I know, the plymouth in this thread was customized way back in the past and will actually be restored back to an original drivetrain.

Soiouz....you are right..My plan is to use the car for a while until I can find all the parts to properly restore it. Only thing still to decide if I would keep the 383 in the car now ( and modify with the correct heads and intake) or rebuild the original 350 that comes with the car. The 383 would give me some extra power....but the idea of having the correct 350 appeals me very much.
The installation of a 65 engine and trans would prevent the use of the pushbutton trans, and this would be unacceptable for me. My idea is to change the crank so that the original cast iron trans can be used with the 383 , if I decide to go that route.

car has finally arrived...as described from the seller. Installed a new ignition lock and was able to start the Plymouth. Engine is very powerful and runs very well. Unfortunately all of the internal parts of the brake system are missing, so I was not able to drive the car. But hear her running is a great thing. In the menatime, the auto trans is off to the rebuilder, so resto has officially started.

Piston rings should be easier to get than the pistons. The Pontiac 389 uses the same bore as the 350, I haven't double checked but the manufacturer likes to use readily available parts and the rings may have the same thickness.

time to do some updates on the car. WHen I received the car, I was a bit disapponted because there were some key parts missing, like brakes, gauge cluster, gas tank ( there were two, but both rusty) and all conv parts to lower and raise top. On the other side, the car was running very well. So got the brakes fixed and drove the car to my place. There was more rist than described, all the lower parts were bubbling, and the inner rockers were very rusty. But floors were in fairly good shape, doors were ok, and trunk lid and hood were ok too. All the wiring was ok. So disassembled the Whole front end,had everything sandblasted, cut off the rust and repaired dents and mirror holes. The inner fenders were powder coated, as was the radiator support. Since the car is running real well, I have decided to leave it with the period modifications made during the sixties, like the four speed and the fender well headers. I know that it's not correct, and that the car should be restored to stock, but most of the life the Belvedere had been modified, so FOR NOW I plan to leave with the 383, four speed and fenderwell headers. But interior will be redone stock, and dual quad will be mounted on the engine.
So, with all the front end parts free of any rust, I am starting to clean all the undercarriage and changing the gas tank. The rockers have been repaired, and the lower rust cut off and fixed. Now it's time to take all all the mud and spray some antirust primer. Got all the conv stuff and had the mounting brackets for top cylinders done by a friend following specs given to my by Ron Waters. Thank you Ron. This winter will have the car painted

Those brackets came out nice!!

The ones on my '59 were present, but pitted severely. I ended up filling the pits with brass and filing them down smooth.

I wanted to update this old thread....last update was in 2015. Have been working on and off the car, so upgrades are fairly slow. The Belvedere is now painted in the original black color, as per decode by Chrysler Historical. The 383 spun a cam bearing, so the engine was removed and bearings fixed. Now it's running really well. The trans was changed back to automatic, and sourced a 62 Imperial trans in the USA and had it rebuilt by James Rawa. Great work Jim. Rear end chunk has been changed from 3.73 to 2.76, for highway cruising. Power steering has been reinstalled, along with the pump. Headers have been removed and a complete exhaust system has been fitted, from Waldron. Very nice exhaust. Wiring has been repaired where needed, and missing power top stuff has been reproduced. Just installed wire wheels and www tires, and brought the car home today. Was finally able to drive her for the first time for 15 or so miles...a great success. Monday new top will be installed, then interior will need to be assembled for the SMS stuff I purchased. Maybe this spring will be able to drive around.

Monday new top will be installed, then interior will need to be assembled for the SMS stuff I purchased. Maybe this spring will be able to drive around.

Great work, almost ready for the Italian traffic

Jokes aside, the other trafficants will cut you some slack with that car

While I am waiting for the upholstery guy to finish my seats, I went on with the resto. After just 9 months, got some stuff ordered from Gary Goers. Among the stuff I received, I found a new set of door w/s, so took off the wrong stuff sold on ebay which precluded a correct door alignment, and installed the Goers stuff. Now doors close right. New carpet from ACC with feature the correct heel pad, and roof frame w/s from Andy Bernbaum. Good stuff.
also, since I dodn't have the seat tracks, I used a power seat frame from a c body that I had lying around. It fit like it was meant for it. Floor holes spacing is correct, same for seat frame. Will have top fashion a switch bracket, and I am done. Everything is bolt in. More to follow
