I'm thinking about picking up a '51 Desoto project. Don't know much about them and I typically stay away from Mopar like the plague. This car is cheap and relatively complete and solid, so it's hard to pass up.

I am completely ignorant to the chrysler 6's. Would this car share the same motor as a dodge/plymouth of the same year or are they all different? Are there any hop-up parts out there for them?

This one has a flat 6 in it that hasn't run since '68, but my buddy has a '52 Plymouth flat 6 that's a runner. Would it be a drop in?

Any info anybody could shed on the topic would be great. Any web resources would be good too. Thanks.
