This car is "junk either way" ???
Who says the engine "has to" come out ? Why NOT
put (or leave) a 354 or some other engine in a 57-8 Plymouth ? I just
don't "get" this attitude that is has to be "just so". The 318 poly was
not that great of an engine. It was OK, but it hardly stands as some
pinnacle of automotive engine design. Is it because that is what is
"correct". All good and fine for the guy who finds a fairly correct car
and wants to restore it to original. But you know, a lot of history with
Furys involved hopping them up and changing engines. I have seen more
than a few running around on 392's. So what if it isn't bone stock
? This car hasn't been bone stock for probably 90% of its life.
Restore a car to perfection, or just enjoy it as is. What is all the
condescending attitude for ? There is a major difference between
advising someone on what would be OEM correct and cutting them down for having
so! mething that isn't. One is a helpful offering, the other is an
arrogant butthead trying to tell others how to live their life, dictate taste,
whatever. I'd like to think anyone with the interest in these out of the
ordinary cars would be above the latter.

A car in this shape no engine or the wrong
engine makes no difference. Still junk.
