1927 Imported Dodge Senior Sedan Motor
nc mentis:
(1) It's well known that Dodge had Continental build the early and later versions of the Dodge Senior 6Cyl, altho the latest production may've been brought in-house by Dodge..
The early 31/4 was built to Feb 28; the later 33/8 was built until 1930.
US domestic replacement parts books describe a 4 main engine...
The May 1938 #12 Victor gasket guide shows the engine as Cont;l 12M; an index page says two engines, 12M and 14M, were supplied to Dodge...(12M the 31/4x41/2, 14M the 33/8x41/2???)...this is the only one of 12-15 period catalogs that mention the Continental IDs, and I find no other makes (per those incomplete catalog) showing 12M or 14M engines...
(2) a 1927 press release/announcement in the Brisbane Courier of the importing of these sedans described a SEVEN main 6Cyl 31/4 x41/2 motor; there's a nice desc of the car and engine..
Does anyone here have one or know o one, or know anything of this alleged 7-main motor???
How many mains are listed for these in AU replacement parts catalogs???
It could well've been just erroneous, or an originally proposed 7 main motor might've not worked out...any comments appreciated...

Hi there
Can not find any evidence that the dodge brothers used continental engines ever , seems strange when they supplied other companies with engines and or engine components , eg ford.
Could you be confusing the graham brothers trucks engines using the continental engine early in their history

This should tell you who Continental built engines for and when.
