Joe,
Dodge,Plymouth,Desoto,and Fargo were all Chrysler Corp. vehicles. Even though they will interchange at the bellhousing, not all Chrysler Corp. L-head(flathead) engines use the same block. The 230 is the smallblock of flatheads, the 251 uses a bit larger block, the older 2-ton trucks using the 413 flathead
which has a massive 36" long block,way to large for a FF PW.
While there might be some minor parts that interchange, manifolds,heads,cranks,cams,etc. will not interchange between these blocks.
I really can't believe your asking these questions when there is plenty of info and businesses permenantly listed on this site that can quote you the price of new NOS manifolds,heads ,etc. All you have to do is look and read or call or even search those sites online. Get the straight scoop from those that deal in PW parts.
