What's the deal with the Poly 318
oh ok I was thinking the 59 fury up in the yard has a golden commando. will have to run up there tomorrow and look. But it is probably a 361 single 4bbl motor.
dang now I gotta go watch the movie again didn't remember it being a big block car
Christine was a '58,in the book and in the movie, even tho' Carpenter mis-
spoke in an interview and said '57 about her. RRR is 100% correct that was the 350"
2x4 B engine,you can even see the callout on the valve cover in the movie.The 318"
Poly 2x4 was also available in '58,and was in '57 as well.Mopar Action has a great
article on the resto of an orig. movie car,great story and details,and a scary incident!
The 350" dual four was called a Golden commando the same as the later 361"
single four engines, as RRR said,it was a one time one year package.The 318" dual four
engines were called the "Dual Fury" option. The hi-output 4bbl engines were called the
"Power Pack" option, of course the G Commando was the top single four eng. '59& up.
