Location: NY & VT		This was in my '58 Firesweep, now in Sweden.

What '58 Dodges was it available in? In 2 or 4 bbl versions?
I was under the impression it was std on all CRs and optional in others?
Spring Specials, Regal Lancers? wagons?
Wondering...

As far as I can tell (from pages 160 and 163 in Willem Weertman's Chrysler Engine book), the LB (Low Block) 350 was a one year (1958) only engine, built along side the LB 361.

The 2 bbl 350 was only used in the 1958 Dodge-based Desoto Firesweep. Dodge had a 4bbl 1958 350 version called the "RamFire" standard on Custom Royals and Dodge wagons.

The 4bbl 350 was apparently also offered as an option for the 58 Firesweep.

A 2 bbl 361 was offered in the 58 Firedome and a 4 bbl 361 was in the Fireflite

58 Dodge brochure engine options listings a couple of D500 361s, the Ram Fire 4bbl 350, a couple of Red Ram 325s and the "Get-Away" (from what?) 6.
