It's been sitting 20 years in what could be a damp
space. Put in back in if you want, but after spending over $10,000 on buying it
I would not leave it alone.

This car is "junk either way" ???
Who says the engine "has to" come out ? Why NOT put
(or leave) a 354 or some other engine in a 57-8 Plymouth ? I just don't
"get" this attitude that is has to be "just so". The 318 poly was not that
great of an engine. It was OK, but it hardly stands as some pinnacle of
automotive engine design. Is it because that is what is "correct".
All good and fine for the guy who finds a fairly correct car and wants to
restore it to original. But you know, a lot of history with Furys involved
hopping them up and changing engines. I have seen more than a few running
around on 392's. So what if it isn't bone stock ? This car hasn't
been bone stock for probably 90% of its life. Restore a car to perfection,
or just enjoy it as is. What is all the condescending attitude for ?
There is a major difference between advising someone on what would be OEM
correct and cutting them down for having so! mething that isn't. One is a
helpful offering, the other is an arrogant butthead trying to tell others how to
live their life, dictate taste, whatever. I'd like to think anyone with
the interest in these out of the ordinary cars would be above the
latter.

A car in this shape no engine or the wrong
engine makes no difference. Still junk.
