Hello! i am new here and very excited. i just aquired my first hot rod project. i am looking for info on the motor i described in the topic. i just bought a 48 ply. spec. del. with that motor and i know nothing about them. i was hoping to find out cbic inches, rough horse power and where i can buy parts for it.

The car is all original and still has a 6 volt system. so im planning on goin through that to make sure everything is in working order. any and all info u guys could help me with would be awesome.

ive done some searching and i havent found much of anything yet. THANKS!

Glad to see anyone get a new hotrod project.Those old mopars are easy to work on but performance parts can be tough to come by. Check out Thejalopyjuornal.com, go to the H.A.M.B.,register and you'll find folks with experiance dealing with your Plymouth. It is a traditional hot rodding board, no muscle cars or ricers.
