Speedfreak Posted July 9, 2018 Share Posted July 9, 2018 Nice thread. What year(s) and what models did Ford use the 406 with 3X2 barrels? Looks like something maybe for NASCAR? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've read comments that this representation (AMT I believe) of the 58 Plymouth engine isn't very accurate. This is supposed to be a Chrysler B block engine. It was the first v-8 wedge Chrysler made and was not available until the 1958 Plymouth, Dodge and DeSoto models used it. The 58 Plymouth was the 350 model. Dodge and DeSoto used the 361. Plymouth used the 361 in 59. This engine you built here has 2 flaws. It has an A block intake manifold which puts the distributor in the back instead of the front and the oil filter should be horizontal instead of vertical. The 58 Plymouth sold by Walmart has the proper intake and is a proper representation of the B block. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for the year, it must be a typo, it was supposed to read 58. I think that engine is from the Christine kit. I bought it on eBay as a 58 Plymouth. So flip the manifold, oil filter and call it 350 and I should be OK, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 58 Plymouth sold by Walmart has the proper intake and is a proper representation of the B block. I do so appreciate the information concerning the first Wedge head Mopar Engines . The A Block was a poly (semi poly spherical) head , the Valve covers had cures (3) along the bottoms for the Valve Trains . These Engines , the Polys , were offered in the Plymouth line in 1957 . i cannot find the details about these , past Rear location the Distributor . Then , I cannot find which side of the Cam? IIRC , Dodge and De Soto offered these with the Hemi in the lineup since 1955 . I think the Hemi was not available for the Dodge and De Soto beyond 1956 . This illustration shows the Oil Filter in the Horizontal Position . So , in the sceme of things ?? Where does the B Block 318 differ to distinguish itself . Oil Filter on the Left side of the Block and Starter on Right side ? Rear located distributor , again , which side of the Cam ? Was the first run (MY) of 318's a Ploy Head ? I know the Later Light Casting 273 - 318 - 340 - 360 Engine family have Rear located distributors with right side of Can Orientation . Tye 318 , with the Left side Oil Filter have a little Brace attached to the Oil Filter Housing . These disappeared during Oil Changes . Located in Chassis nudging he Steering Box , it made the task more difficult . Tye 340 - 360 had aright rear block location angled to clear the Right side Torsion bars in the E Bodies ect. Correct me where I am wrong please ? Thanx .. Edited July 12, 2018 by dimaxion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
my66s55 Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 (edited) These may help you some. https://www.allpar.com/mopar/a-engines.html https://www.allpar.com/mopar/poly.html http://victorylibrary.com/mopar/dodge-c5.htm A block poly engines first appeared in 1956. The distributor is is mounted behind the intake and to the right of the cam. The oil filter was on the rear left side.
