1958 Super Red Ram HELP

That's what I love about Chrysler. I would have guessed they would do that, but It is nice to know for sure. I have a Chrysler 354 Hemi, and I knew you could just install hemi heads if one had an early Poly, keeping the "families" in mind. Knowing you can get a 4 barrel intake should open a lot of possibilities for anyone with an early Poly. Thanks for the Info!

Yeah it makes it a lot easier. I know I was chasing issues all over our '55 coronet and its 270 poly when it had the original worn out 2 barrel on it. I put that Offy 4 barrel manifold and an Eddy 500cfm carb on it and voila, ran like a champ. Dropped in a LA 318 distributor too, the 241/270 engines have the same deck height at a 318, so the later dizzy's drop right in, no modifications needed. You can use the later dizzy's on the Chrysler's and DeSoto's too, but the deck height is different so you need to use a different length distributor shaft, or adapt it.
