Re: [FWDLK] 57 Plymouth hemi??

[Mike Apfelbeck <moparmike@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Years ago ago there was a '58 Plymouth station wagon around here with a
Chrysler hemi in it . It wasn't a hot rod, or anything like that, the guy
had this old car with a bad engine and the Chrysler engine he had
apparently fit right in without too much bother.Of course the factory
didn't do it, but it's probably been done a few times over the years.
