Great advice Travis, thank you!

I think that I'll have to go out and cut those mounts off and try my hand at welding them in. I've put another email out National Moparts in the hopes they have a complete K member for a v8 now, fingers crossed. If not then I'll have to try to find a detailed diagram of V8 mounts and see how to...

Thanks for those tips! I think I'll elect to plug those ports for the smog nonsense. I didn't find any extra smog pipes when I took apart the old system (thank god) so that some good news. I initially looked at new heads and then new cam and it kept spiraling. So for now I'll stick with the...

Thank you for clearing that up Travis, I guess I will have to see what is involved in fabbing up those perches. I imagine I could get it done with a lot of swearing and beer.

I did call National Moparts a few times last year however they did not have any in stock. I am still on their call list if they do end up with a V8 one, sadly no calls as of current. I'll try again this coming Monday when they open. I'm near Barrie Ontario where there are a surprisingly high...

I just wanted to give an update on this project. I have purchased a 318 with a 904 from a 1985 Fifth Ave, this car was driven to the spot where it rested until I found it. The engine is now in my garage on a stand, torn down and I am just waiting on some seals for the valve covers. The engine...

I appreciate all the input and support from everyone. I have no doubt it will be more money than I'd like it to be but at this point I'm looking forward to working on the car again, that has been missing for a few years. I'm lucky to have a local mechanic who's an old school racer and builds on...

Just wanted to update everyone, I wanted to get a 360 magnum engine however our local wreckers do not have engines that were complete (I live in a farming community so these have been picked over to keep the farm trucks running) and the rest of the dodges in the yard were hemis or missing...

Alright sounds good to me. I’ll start the junk yard hunt this week and see what I can find. I know the yard down the street has a bunch of options, they’re the ones with the mid 80s 318. Any specific year of 360 magnum I should be looking out for? These were in the pickups and Dakotas so I’m...

Wow thank you everyone! I appreciate the insight into this all, gives me a lot to think about for sure. @commando1 My welding skills are slightly better than Stevie wonder….only just. I think that based on what everyone is saying, coupled with the cost of big block parts, I’ll pursue the...

Hello everyone, As the title suggests I'm about to start the process of swapping the engine in my 66 Fury III and have a line on a 400 big block with a 727 transmission for a decent price. I just wanted to get all the parts sorted as best as possible before I yank the engine out and from...

Definitely following this. I want to replace my death onion with a dual reservoir too. Im a column car so I'm sure it will be a challenge

My 66 slant

Thanks for the reply. It's just the left side of the trunk just behind the area where leaf springs attach. There was a hole about the size of my fist that was patched before I bought it and was done really poorly. The previous owner just cut two pieces of metal and sandwiched it with a ton of...

As the title suggest I'm in need of a trunk floor. I know there are a few suppliers in the US that sell them new which is exactly what I want however they won't ship up north to Ontario for whatever reason. Are their any Canadian C body guys that know of a place in Canada that manufacturers...

Hi Mark, I have struggled with that same problem of do I keep it original or do I do the 383 swap. I will say they are only original once. I have a slightly modified 66 fury III 4 door but with the original engine and trans (slant 6). I'm constantly going back an forth between hyper pack or...

I was looking for a classic car and found one running and driving for $3500... The wife said "you should get it." I bought it before she could rethink her statement :)

UPDATE So I went about removing the fusible link and inspecting it for any signs of obvious damage. It wasn't brittle or showing any obvious signs of any damage to me. I cleaned up the connections and put it back on and tried the electronics, no power still. I took the Ballast resistor off and...

Ok perfect that took no time to diagnose. Any chance I just run down to the parts store and buy it? You'll have to excuse my ignorance.

Happy long weekend all, I hope you all are able to get out and cruise since the weather here in southern Ontario certainly allows for it. I would also be doing that however for some reason my Fury decided to go completely stone dead. I went to start it this morning and no power to...
