Just joined the site yesterday! I have a '63 Dodge w-200 with a 318 poly, original engine and the truck was used by the Forest Service in Washington State. It is all original with either 69k or 169k miles. It has a 3 speed on the floor with a Dana 60 in the rear w/ 4:10 gears. I will be taking the 318 out of the Dodge and putting it in a '40 Plymouth that I purchased last year. I'm building a " Tribute car " in memory of my late Father. He had a '57 Plymouth Fury w/ the v-800 engine, which was a 318 Poly w/dual Carter WCFB carbs. I have purchased the Carbs w/ the original manifold. I was wondering if anyone knows the weight and dimensions of the 318 poly, or where I may find them? I also wanted to add a A-518 or a 46rh overdrive tranny to the car, but I can't find an Transmission Adapter for the Poly, could anyone help me with this?
Glad to be aboard. drush52

Re: '63 w-200
Not sure of the dimensions but the trans will bolt to block missing one bolt but as for the torque convertor , Not sure what needs to be done. I bet its a fairly simple deal though.drush52 wrote: I was wondering if anyone knows the weight and dimensions of the 318 poly, or where I may find them?

Welcome to the site.
What are your plans for the W200
once you harvest the engine for your tribute project?
