Re: [FWDLK] Newbie



  My old Belvedere convertible had a 392 in it.  A guy who lives about 10 blocks from me has a Savoy 2HT with a 392 in it.
He had to dent the left rear outer corner of the valve cover to fit it in with the brake booster.  It is tight !

Been done a few times. HRM did it with their “Suddenly” 1957 Plymouth and Norm Thatcher did it for one his Bonneville cars if memory serves me right. And Dodge did virtually the same swap when they put 354’s in 1957 Coronets albeit they did have to put a very T-Bird looking “power bulge” on the hood.
 
Tight it may be but a determined a hot rodder can do dang near anything.

Friend of my brother put a 392 hemi in a 57 Ford Fairlane that he blown up the 312 on. He later acquired a 58 Fury and found a 300C hemi down in a Chicago scrap yard. This was around 1962 or so. He picked it with the Ford and left the yard with two 392 hemi’s, one up front supplying the motive power and one resting in the trunk just going along for the ride. That 300C hemi went into the Fury. I never saw the Fury run but according to my brother it was one wicked machine.
