Years ago I did.  I put in a 4 row, I think that it was good for 800HP.  No problems whatsoever.  It needed a little bit of modification to mount.  I also put in a small  overflow tank.  Make sure you have the correct psi rad cap for your motor.  The older engines 15 psi is too much.

Click on the link.  On that page is a search at the top.   Type in your machine and do a global search.  You can find documents related to the manufacture and who it was sold to originally for your machine.

Well, It looks like photobucket took all the pictures down, but I think I have a work around.  You'll need to click on the link to see the picture, but at least you'll see the picture.  I'll try this weekend to automate the process, so everyone does not need to modify each post that has a picture in it.

It is a photobucket thing.  They started a subscription service and watermark  and blurr everyone's photos unless they pay the subscription.  Every forum that links a photo back to photobucket is blurred.  There is nothing that can be done about  unless everyone that shares pays their subscription.   There are other free photo sharing  sites to use or you can upload photos directly to this forum

Just below the box that you write in, click on the + Attachments and other options.  You can the browse to the picture ypou want to attach to your post.  Press post.  You may need to resize your images smaller as the server has trouble with larger images.  I use 800 X 600 size and use a free program IrfanView to resize pictures.

The narrow guage is 59" while wide is 74".  I think they both have 2 seats.

There is either a wide guage or a narrow guage.  R12 were generally a narrow gauge.  Your looks like it is a wide guage. R18 is a wide guage.  I think that the R27 is just built in the late 56 or early 57 year and not really any different.

318/340 Mopar small blocks are internally balanced like most engines. The 360, however, is externally balanced, which requiresthat the flywheel or torque converter provide the balancing act.  So you must used the torque converter from 360 only.

Not really gospel as my '51 R18 is not included, but it gives some bit of manufactured quantities.
