I bought my 241 Red Ram (running) for $500. My buddy has a Super Red Ram in his '55 Custom Royal Lancer, and even with bigger cubes, and a 4-barrel....it's still a pig!

They only put out about as much horsepower as a built-up Ford flathead V8 when they are in stock form.

Next to a Chrysler...and even a Desoto hemi, they are physically a lot smaller as well.

Couldn't you just put some bigger torsion bars in it.........get the cool look and probably some mileage too. I've got a 241 Hemi too in a 54 2 ton truck. Thought about building it and putting in something for mileage. I like those old motors myself.

I had a 56 Dodge "Custom Royal Golden Lancer D-500" with the 315 Hemi 4bbl 2 speed power-flite auto that ran very well-pissed off many mustang owners with their dates in the car.
 
Yeah...the 315 is a different animal than the 241/270's...

I have a Chrysler 331 with two-2bbls on an Edmunds intake and open headders in a '29 Model A....It is pretty fast.
 
The 241 is definately nothing to brag about, with around 140 hp and a 2spd behind it, it is no speed demon... But with the 2 barrel and highway gears it seems to get pretty decent fuel mileage and makes for a cool cruiser. The reason I'm trying to get rid of this car is to move onto something a little more different, I plan on building my own custom of some sort. Im having a hard time selling it though.. I feel my price is more than fair, wat do u think?
 
It's hard to sell a 4-door....unless it's to a very casual car enthusiest, and those people usually want a nice appearing (meaning painted/upholstered/etc) car that they can hop in and drive.

I think it is a fair price....but to a limited market. I could see a young guy just getting into cars wanting it, but he has to see the ad first.

Hang in there...it takes a while for the right buyer to find the car then come up with the money.
