1967 Plymouth Fury 3 Hardtop

[furyus 67]

I don't remember the last time i was this excited!! Getn closer everyday. I did unfortunately figure out that neither set of headers that I have are going to work so I guess I'm in the market for some manifolds !

 

[Fratzog]

I like the idea of a black intake manifold. They discolour after a while anyway. It's all looking good. Are you looking for HP or standard manifolds?

 

[furyus 67]

Thanks! Im doing the water pump black too.I'd prefer the HP. But I'd probly settle for standard at this point. I'm looking to be on the road early June at the latest.

 

[Fratzog]

I don't know if they fit but I have stock exhaust manifolds off a 78 440. I'd give them to you but the distance is an issue.

 

[furyus 67]

I'll post and find out! Thanks. I could send u the coin for shipping.

 

[Fratzog]

OK let me know if you want to proceed and we can figure out how to ship.

 

[furyus 67]

Getting very excited gentlemen! Trans is in! On one hand it doesn't seem like a lot left....on the other it does! That fn cross member fought me all the way but I won!

 

[commando1]

Yep. That's what it is rightly called.
EFN Crossmember.

People don't realize it's not a transmission mount.
It's a structual brace between the the two sides of Stub Frame that the tranny sits on.

That would explain why the bolt wholes where off just enough to not thread in. A little jack manipulation worked wonders......wonder if I tweeked anything?

 

[furyus 67]

So for future reference , should I not unbolt cross member when removing the trans? Just unbolt the mount and wrestle it or....?

 

[furyus 67]

Well the trans is baaack in. And the flex plate lined up!!yays_dancing2:I did use a trick I learned for track bar adjustments on front solid axle jeeps using a ratchet strap. It helped quit a bit with getting the cross member bolt holes lined up. I attached it to the stub frame next to the torsion bar on one end, on the other end I attached it to the opposite side of the cross member. Ratcheted it until that side was lined up, then snugged my bolts on that side, then switched the strap to the opposite side of the stub frame and the opposite side of the cross member. Like butter is I can say!

More fun!

Nice car. I had a '67 New Yorker with a factory 440 and loved it. How big a place is Flint? I was in the USAF in '73 with a guy from Flint.

The city is about 34 square miles. Population hovers around 100k. At its peak there was around 300k residents. Now it's a big crap hole!

Before and after on my fan.

I want the Detroit steel wheel 18x8's. Not gonna be able to get those on this year tho. The goal for this year is running and driving. I might end up putting the interceptor wheels and poverty caps on for a while.

 

[commando1]

I want the Detroit steel wheel 18x8's. .

This still bothers me. Will be interesting.

 

[67-Fury]

These are the wheels right?

 

[furyus 67]

Those are the ones. I need to come up with another fury stub frame. That way I can work out the suspension and wheel offset while keeping my car on the road.
