Default NORTH CAROLINA 1950 Plymouth
Hey everyone it’s been almost 3 years I guess since being here with Franknbug.Health issues almost took me out so I had to sell it,but now doing alot better I was gifted a 1950 sedan deluxe 2 door. It was in a barn for 30 years and has no motor, trans and everything else is still there. My question is do I install a engine and trans or change out the entire chassis works.HELP

Welcome back.

I would look for a complete donar for a driveline. Those Mopars had a pretty good frontend, parts are available. If the floors are solid, I wouldn't go the chassis swap route, they seldom fit well and cause a lot of greif.

For some inspiration check out Torchie's thread on the one he's doing. He has taken it from ugly ducklin to being a swan.

Welcome back.
I vote for putting a newer Chrysler motor and transmission in there and sprucing up what you already have, [most of the car].
Go for it.

I agree with the Mopar, as I always prefer to keep the brand name complete. I know several fellows that have found the 413 in older RVs and installed in their rats..

Nice find, I do prefer the front of the 52 for these models but still way cool, good luck!

Seems like a Mopar on Mopar is the way to go to me

It's funny. As Chevy guy I'd not hesitate () to put a Chevy in a Ford.....but..... Mopar is a close second to me and like others I'd stay true to the brand on that.
Enjoy the build!
