It's definately possible. We have an old Dodge 4x4 military truck frame -
like an M43 or M47 or whatever it is they called them, but heavier, 2 1/2
ton axles - with a Hemi in it. The block has a '55 Plymouth serial number.
It runs and moves under it's own power, so the Dodge heads will definately
work on it. I don't know if it's a 241 or a 260 though.
Now instead of a Dodge body it has a '69-ish Ford cab and a mid-70s Chevy
stepside long bed on it, so who knows how that motor got in there. It looks
like it was really nice 20 years ago, but the paint's shot on it now. But
I'm sure it will go anywhere you want to drive it, mud, snow, whatever -

anything is possible... the stock?poly was a dodge based engine so head
swap was possible.... it was a spitfire engine i think, just like the 331
and 354 chrysler low-line polys... my 56 belv had the dodge based poly....
the 49-52 caddy [and olds? - my 50 olds had a rear draft carb- so may be
caddy-only]?"batwing" air cleaner is worth about $500 on ebay

Neat '55 Plymouth...
Did dealers do head?and intake swaps back then?
Seems that the seats were done wrong as far as style? (tuck and roll
cloth)
Any thoughts?
?
