If it is a long block motor you should be able to find a Dodge KEW engine in UK to just drop straight in.

What is the engine number? If you give us that we will be able to tell you what you have.

Hi Lang, yes the engine is the long one, I haven't heard of a 'KEW' engine. The engine number is 8707297

We need the engine prefix - it "should" be T110 or a P prefix if it is a Plymouth motor. The motor that was originally in it (T110) was 3 7/6 X 4 1/4 giving a displacement of 236.6 cu in. Horsepower would have been around 110/115 I guess. That was a Canadian built motor. The equivalent motor in USA was a DeSoto.

The KEW motor was a long block Chrysler engine built in UK for the British Dodges of the post-war period (built at their factory in Kew and having the letters KEW stamped before the engine number). The KEW motor was the same bore 3 7/16 as the original T110, and could well have been the same motor but with Lucas electrics to provide some measure of British unreliability!
