Thanks all. My brand of header is TTI (fit for C body), tranny is standard A727 (year-matching 66, but fully rebuilt, with upgraded spline). My first plan of attack was intended to be what CBODY67 says above: heat wrap, plus new gasket. (With also a check of possible other culprits like...

Nah, fluid had never been changed yet.....the tranny and headers had only recently been installed new and driven only a few times before the leak appeared.

Hi, folks. Does it sound possible that headers that pass extremely close to a tranny pan could possibly ruin the gasket and cause leaks via heat damage? There is little clearance (perhaps an 1/8th of an inch at best) between the header and the front left corner of my tranny pan (front left...

Anyone have a good source for replacement fuel filler tubes for 66 Fury IIIs? Seems like no problem to find them for A, B, or E's, but C's seem really elusive.

Thanks, everyone, for your input...keep on truckin'!

Ha, yes, some joking going on there, yes...we kept joking about those Dyno Disaster videos, so that's where that came from...I personally was nervous as hell during the test, because it was the first build I've ever been a part of....thanks for the BSFC explanation! I do remember the shop guy...

Now you are beginning to speak in an area for which I am out of my depth on. (Again, I was the "apprentice", not the master builder). But because I was there, I can tell you that it was dyno'd as is, but using the racing shop's carb and headers, (not mine). But other than that, nothing at all...

Thank you! If safety or twisting isn't a concern, then I think I have my answer that I can, at the very least, enjoy running the car and then put the gear swap on next year's project list.

Seems reasonable to me...I don't plan on dragging the car, but I also don't want it to be a dog...which, considering the way it tested, and what's already in it...for a street car, it definitely won't be. Safety is more the concern, I guess, because people are giving me horror stories about the...

Thanks! My torque converter is the "Dacco" 764 (I think that's 2300-2500 rpm stall?). 3.55 sounds like the right zone...any recommendations for manufacturers for the gear swapping? And also...because I am new to this (I am the "apprentice", not the master builder), I assume that the case ("41")...

Screenshot of dyno

No, it was Dyno'ed, I was there when it was done. The project began from scratch from a raw block (1970 cast 383). 440 Source Stroker kit (aluminum "Stealth" heads)...Hughes BB cam (nothing too crazy, just what they consider be their street, but with a little growl)....the car is going to have...

Hi, all....newbie here. I have a 66 Fury III (original 318 LA car) 2 door hardtop that I recently upgraded to a 383 stroker with mild+ cam and Torqueflite auto with upgraded spline. Just put in all new replacement drum brakes in back (complete) and front disc conversion was done successfully...
