George With all that extra pazaz in your 56, you may want to be sure the running gear can handle it. Tires, breaks, suspension etc. John Teske

George,
I vote "go for it". The more 56 Dodges on the road the better!

Hello: All I'm finally getting to the spring cleaning of my garage. I find that I have several things from several different projects that I will never complete. So, what like to bounce off all of you is the idea of combining some of these diverse project parts into one project. I have a 440 & 727 unit, and I have a 56 Dodge station wagon complete but without the baby Hemi. What if I combine the two???..... Good Idea...Bad Idea??? I am more of a original restorer guy than a mix and match builder. But I do have these parts and I do need a driver . What is the down side and problems in fitting the 440 into the 56??? I won't get mad if anyone thinks it's a bad idea, and I won't get real happy if anyone thinks it's a good idea because it will be a lot of work. FYI, The things that I am short on are time and money, I do have a lot of parts. The 56 Dodge wagon is a 4 door, manual steering 3 speed standard over drive trans, and in very nice condition but for paint, interior is original and in very use able condition. I do also have a coaxial power steering unit for it if needed. So, the end result might be a 56 Dodge wagon very stock looking with a mild 440 and 727 for just running around to get parts, and groceries. Thanks in advance for any comments. George
