40 Dodge

[OC455]

Came across a 40 Business Coupe searching the webs and was looking at the pics.

It is a pretty cool and pretty original except for the power plant in it. Looks like it has a 57-58 1st Gen 392 Hemi in it. Says Chrysler FirePower on the valve covers, has the dual quad set up on it. Looks like it has the 6v generator on it too.

Was reading up on the 1st Gen 392 Hemi and those appear to be the one that the dragsters and hot rodders were using to make the power back in the day...didn't realize the 1st Gen Hemi's were what made the Hemi name...

Anyway, looks like these are pretty easy to make power with...the Chrysler 300 with the 392 Hemi was making 375HP.

The 40 has a 3 on the tree...It's not all rotted out and it looks pretty original. Really interested in it. Be a cool ride to have. And fun to hotrod out especially with the 392 FirePower.

How cool would this set up be on the Chrysler 392:

With these air cleaners:

Yeah, but there are some out there that would be able to do it and have it set right off the bat.....just have to find them....LOL.

The manifold, the 6 dueces carbs and the air cleaners alone would total over $4000 if my calculations are right...hahaha.

Would be fun to have it....maybe if it hasn't sold in the near future, I'll check in again to see if it is there.

One of these old style carb sync air flow meters are invaluable for dialing in a multiple carb set-up.

STE Carburetor Flow Meter

The STE Carburetor Flow Meter allows you to quickly dial in multiple carburetors or throttle bodies. It provides an exact, readable indication of airflow through the carburetors or throttle bodies. The sensitivity and accuracy of the STE Flow Meter is much greater than any other type of synchro...
