Barn Find 1958 Plymouth Gets New Engine & Brakes - Will They Work?

[@yamahondarider]

I'm incredibly thankful for this series, I picked up a '59 Plymouth Savoy this spring and have acquired an LA 318 for it and was beginning to think everyone that knew all the factory bolt in upgrades (like disc brakes, ect) had died in the Vietnam war and I'd never find the info.

[@urbanurchin5930]

...??? .... wait - what ?? died in the Korean War ??? The Korean War was fought until about 1952 .... this car is a 1958 (and you were babbling something about a 1959). How could everyone that knew about the "bolt-ons" for a '58 and '59, have died in the Korean War ?? You comment makes no sense. Maybe the wording is incoherent or you just don't have a clear thought about what you are trying to say. Try to think through what the voices in your head are saying - and try to sort it all out.

I'm working on my moparty car too! It's an olive green metallic 68 Coronet Just dropped the 871 blown 440 long block in yesterday. I found this car in a storage shed it had been parked in since It's 383 blew in 1986. I have a short video of this car on my puny KZbin channel as it was pulled from storage if anyone is curious. If I get any views I may make an updated poor production value video of my progress lol. I've stayed in touch with the previous owner, and am keeping him updated as I go. He wants to go for a ride when I get it done. Thanks to Dylan and this Savoy project I'm using the Moparty as the fire under my ass to get my car project moving again. See y'all there!

[@bowslap]

Reminds me of days long ago, used to call it “hot rodding by Hollander”….there’s a ton of factory parts that yield some fantastic results when you know what to use and how to make it work for your application. Aftermarket parts are great, but on a budget, spending cubic dollars isn’t an option. Good to see someone putting their head to use…

[@ironhead2008]

Yeah, lot of factory parts out there like that. For example. The last carb'd corvettes (late 70s early 80s) are supposed to flow like a high profile 1969 Z28 manifold, and I've heard some of the Camaro cast iron manifolds from the same era are actually identical. L69 305 cylinder heads are supposed to be some of the best factory heads for small bore SBCs with the original intake bolt pattern. You can get some decent power out of them . I've also heard that the much maligned swirl port 87+ SBC heads are actually quite good torque cylinder heads if you actually work with them (port matching, smoothing out the ramps) instead of just grinding the ramps out.

[@bowslap]

@@ironhead2008 I have the complete L69 engine from my old ‘84 H.O. Z28 sitting in my shop….will eventually go down in my wife’s ‘83 L69 Z28(with the first-issue 5-speed)…..yep, there’s all kinds of stuff available to those willing to track the parts down. Excited to see how Dylan’s Plymouth progresses….

[@ironhead2008]

@@bowslap Yeah, I imagine some judicious port matching, a nice exhaust, and a cam swap would do that engine wonders. Get it up to about 220 or so (like the top end 5 speed TPI 305 cars) would be perfect. With how light the first few years 3rd gens were, it'd probably make for a fun and spunky ride. Any more HP and you'd start needing to worry about the trans crapping out.

[@bensonsspeedshop1191]

We used to get motor mounts and exhaust manifolds from a 400 Cordoba, a small brake booster from a Dart/Valiant and swap a 440/727 into any Aspen/Volare Coupe! Use a B body 8-3/4 with a 1 inch shorter driveshaft and, Hang On!

[@1575murray]

That was a good call getting rid of the old rear end with the pressed on brake drums and the lousy drum brakes. The later C body rear end is the way to go. It's also better to get rid of the old emergency brake setup too.

Nah, I'm still good. I still have my 709 wheel horsepower 1997 Civic coupe that I built with my own two hands. Best time to date is 9.56 @ 155 mph. Yes, it does have VTEC. V-Tech is an old phone company. VTEC stands for Variable Valve Timing & lift Electronic Control. Then again, my brother still has our old 1974 Camaro Z28 and it still has the same 355 sbc that makes 425 hp with a Muncie M-22 Rock Crusher 4 speed manual.

[@hayneshvac2]

Don't forget to check the pistons of the new 318...most 318's pistons fall short of reaching the top of the deck...360's are top deck piston setups. Yes the 360's have larger ports and valves, but they are not close chambered heads like the 318 heads. Basically after 72 when compression was starved, the 318 got shorter pistons to reduce compression, and the 360 lost compression in the heads. That being said, if you slap 360 heads on a below deck 318, you will lose quite a lot of compression...you can order top deck pistons for a 318. Just food for thought. I have heard that people have received good results by increasing the intake valves of the 318 to accommodate the 360's 1.88 intake valves, and porting out the 318 heads...

This car will probably never need ball joints again, but I always like to brush a little bit of anti-seize on those ball joint threads before installing them. The next person that has to replace them will appreciate it. 👍

When I built my 1965 Plymouth wagon, I put the whole suspension of a 1985 Chrysler 5th Ave under it, four bolts and the whole thing bolted in the 65 Plymouth, I had to make the brackets to bolt it under the Plymouth, but it works great and road a lot better, keep up the good work saving this old Mopar,

This is a great video Dylan. I was born in 1960 and started helping my uncle work on cars at 10 years old. I was only his parts washer. I had a pan of gasoline and an old brush.

[@mickrac5536]

Theres 650 comments, so I am not going to read them all, but your in for some problems with that engine. You will need to replace the entire drive line if its still got its original stuff in it. The LA 318 will not fit the pre 62 transmission. The crank flange changed from 8 bolt to 6 bolt and you will also find the bolt pattern for the bell housing is different. If you go to a later trans to match the engine, you will loose the E brake and the push button for gear selection also will not work. Because of the E brake issue, you will need to change the rear end to one with an E brake. To some, this is desirable as it gets you away from the tapered axle and its issues. I did see that it was a flat head 6, so you needed an engine and trans anyway to go to a V8, but dont forget the torsion bars are also bigger for the V8. Looking forward to seeing how this pans out. Fury Jim can advise you some more about the engine change as well

You converted the front brakes to disc but forgot to convert the steering system to newer safety steering. Old steering system had a killer steering column that goes up and back during a front crash. Safety steering has a collapsible column that breaks down and never enters the cabin during a crash. A safety steering wheel never moves back or hits the driver during a crash.

Hey Doug Nice video. I wish that 5th Ave was a old police cruiser. And I would have bought the whole car for donor parts. Rebuild the engine. All the other suspension,transmission,AC conversion kit ETC. Now if you got the money. I would look in Central Texas. For classic Plymouth parts. For the Savoy. But I saw a another idea. Next to the 5th Ave was a Dakota Pick Up with the V-6. And here is a idea. Once you restore the Savoy and if you are going to sell her. And if you find one. Pick up a 74 Dodge Colt. Take the V-6 out of the Dakota and the other parts too. And if its a manual that is a plus. And put the Dakota engine and transmission into the Colt. Put the racing seats in her. The driving lights. And wider tires. And paint her. In the 1977 winning East African Safari Rally Car. Because when I was living Hawaii. And Wild World of Sports was on. And my dad was stationed at Hawaii. And it was the East African Safari Rally. And I said Dad our car is on tv. And he saw it and smiled too. The car was dirty. So was the drivers. That is how. I got into the World Rally Championship. And Endurance racing too. I would like to see a resto-mod done on that. Well keep up the good work and God Bless. Sven

Your a lucky young man to have access to cars like that still those cars about that era and back up in my neck of the Appalachian mountains are all crushed about 10+ years ago and are long gone. Used to do that at least 2 times a year if not more sometimes and this is how I got new to me vehicles and I have been lucky to have more than 60 cars and trucks since I was 15 years old. Great evening and weekend to you, Mr. Dillon! 😉💯
