i figured this is where the guys hang out that like the vintage stuff,,maybe i can get an answer,if there is one,,,,
i am looking at a 241 dodge polly motor via e mails,,the pics are not that great,, my 241 has some problems,,this block would fix me right up,,,
question,,my 241 has no motor mount bosses,,and i thought none of the red rams did,,i thought they used that horse shoe shaped mount off the bottom of the timing cover,, the red rams also use a old style freeze plug,looks like a saucer,,or a dished quarter,,,not the taperd style on say a LA motor,,, any way
the pics i recieved show the vin as being a truck polly motor,,and the pic of the motor shows thats it is a dodge polly,, but the freeze plug pic i recieved shows a modern tapered style freeze plug and motor mount bosses,,, any one know any more then me,,,,ide like to pick this up,,thanks in advance don

ok thanks for all the replys,,
1st yes posted on hot heads,,ill call bob
2nd for only 241 C.I,,i was surprised how it runs,even tho it has a re ground cam,thats too big,but remember its 241 c.i, its no tire fryer,just a cruiser with kool looks,
3rd,from the pics its looks as small as a 241 should,with smooth polly valve covers,with some sort or bracketry on the valve covers,,according to the motor vin he gave me it shows as a dodge poly,,331 bigger yes,but ide have to change over a lot of stuff i would think,,,331 would be a chrysler,,,wouldnt the valve covers say spit fire ,,,or what ever the chrysler polly was ??
4 the motor mount bosses and modern style freze plugs is what now makes me wonder,,i suppose you may be able to pound a modern freeze plug in to that block,,,
i suppose a 331 for the price wouldnt be bad,,,but i was hoping to repair all the stuff on my 241 with this block,,not that i dont think i cant get this one to be dependable,,
one funny thing is,,they replaced this so called dodge 241 poly with a modern 318LA motor,,and stole the points dizzy out of the 241,im pretty sure the 331 dizzy wouldnt fit in a 318 with out modifacation to the shaft ?

I used No. 1 Permatex and flatten the disk exactly the right amount. They are convex to start with and there is a step milled in the block. Bryce

The Dodge 315 and 325 use conventional freeze plugs and have side motor mount bosses. PM me about a 241 block if you need one.

And would be a very nice upgrade to a 241.

thank,for searching,,, i searched every chart on the internet,,it didnt come up on any of them,,there is a book out with all the casting numbers and tons of early hemi info,,
so i googled the casting number,,it took me to a topic on one of mabye the same site you found,,asking the same question,,its a 56 dodge truck 270 poly,,now i have to decide if i should work with what i have,,or get the 270 and convert it to a hemi,,pistons arent to bad just over 400 bucks for a set,,but depending what i can or cant use out of my super low mileage 241, it could add up to close to or over 2 grand,can probably do a 5.7 modern hemi for a little over that,,or throw in a 318 i have,,,,,
