Have any of you found a kit or aftermarket caster that has one of these engines? I'd very much like to build a Plain Jane version of the Dodge 330.

I would say that is a really tough one. when your whole engine selection is trumped by the word "HEMI", its tough to fins something else in the model world. I will snoop around, got model club tonight, I will ask around. |

I would be interested in a poly 318, also! I've owned a few Dodges from the mid sixties that had good, strong poly 318s in them!

Unfortunately, all of my searches have turned up nothing, at least so far.

They could, but not as a poly 318, which was an "A" engine. The engine in the Volare is an "LA" engine.
The 318 is the most common version of the A engine, produced from 1957 through 1967 when it was replaced in all markets by the LA 318. Only Plymouth used this 318 in 1957 and 1958, but it was shared with the other Chrysler divisions from 1959 on. It displaces 317.9 cu in (5210 cc) and has a 3.91 in (99.3 mm) bore and the 3.31 in (84.1 mm) stroke.
A special 1957-'58 version called the V-800 used two four-barrel carburetors to produce 290 bhp (216.3 kW), making it the highest-output A engine. It was used in the 1957 and 1958 Plymouth Fury, but was also an option on Plymouth models lower in the model range. The Bristol 409 and 410 continued to use this engine until 1969. From 1962 until early 1965, Checker used this engine for their Aerobus limousines.
