 GC> Dodge
 GC> '53 - '54   241 c.i.d.
 GC> '55 - '56   270 c.i.d.
 GC> It sounds like he may have either a 240 or 270 engine. 
 
 That sounds about right, I'll have to look at the car to see what year it 
s.
 Yes, he still has that too, he throws nothing away. But is way to far gone 
 for restoration, no floor left, upolstry is home to mice, and no glass left 
 in it. 
 Is there any visual differences in the motors in case I can't get the year?
 The valve covers are red and say "Firepower" on them and I think there is a 
 ram on them as well. I'll have to take another look now. :)
 
 GC> guess for horsepower would be 190-225.
 Really I figured it might be a little more. But I guess for the times that
 was quite a bit. Also any idea on the value of this engine? It's been 
 properly stored with oil in the cylinders etc.
 Thanx for all the info.
 Jack
