'70 Plymouth Sport Fury 383HP resto thread

Well ... (and I feel I might loose some followers right here and now), there's only 2 things I'm pondering : loosing the white vinyl top and the side mouldings, changing the color to Burnt Orange (though I know FT6 is a desirable color, I'm really in love with FK3/FK5). But I'm still in the early stages, so everything is not really decided right now.

that's crazy talk right there. Send it back for a full refund and find another
and I'm the world's biggest K3 / K5 fan.
I don´t state this as a verified fact, but B/E-bodies got a bit better flowing exhaust system by the diameter.
Step 1 this weekend will be to :
a) make the engine running again. It was before leaving Canada almost 2 months ago, but the starter won't even turn now, because the battery's dead and does not hold recharge. I guess it just needs a new battery. At least I hope so.
b) fix the driver side window. It stays down though I can hear the motor turning. Need to do this as a priority because the car stays outside for the moment being (that's why you see a bit of thick cover on the driver side on the picture). A car cover has been ordered and is on its way, but I would prefer to have all windows closed anyway.

Please clarify the Canadian / US statement.... both were rated at 330
I mean the fender tag code: Y07: Build to Canada Specs. What that includes/excludes, which US specs don´t have?

You referenced the N 330 hp. I presumed you knew something I wasn't aware of.
No, I quickly moved to another thing. The code was first and the engine hp rating the second.

At first, I was thinking about how much a car built for Canadian market differs from a car produced for domestic market and then I verified that the 383 equipped with a dual exhaust system makes 330 horsepower istead of the 335 shown on the first post, which CBODY67 started to think about and compared Cs and E/Bs.

Yes the US and Canadian N coded 1970 C is rated at 330. There are other variations of the N that make 335. Do not presume all B and E N codes make 335.

Don't even think about it.
If you really must make a change ... but I don't get it.
My .02. In any case it's your car so do what you will as long as it's done well. BTW thanks for saving another one.

I will keep a eye on this one I have a 70 sport fury and I have a 58 Plymouth im in Ontario Canada
Code "N" variations, from the AMA Specs (1970 Barracuda) found in the Hamtramk Historical website. Not sure how you would order a 383/330 vs a 383/335, unless there was a separate option code to separate the two. Or if the 330 was in the non-'Cuda models?
383/330 "N" 1970 -- 256/260 cam 4732S AVS 1.44/1.69 9.5 CR
383/335 Hi-Perf "N" 268/284 cam Holley 4160 1.56/1.75 10.5 CR
Listed distributors/specs were the same for both "N" motors.
Both had the 10.75" diameter torque converter, with less fluid refill capacity.
1970 Parts listings confirms the 2bbl cam in the 383-4bbl engine and the 440/350, but only the 440 HP has the 268/284 cam listed. No carline differentiations.
Have to check the 1970 FSM for C-body cam specs.
For the record, my '70 DH43N0D came with the Carter AVS 4732, HP exhaust manifolds, crinkle-black dual snorkel air cleaner, blue engine paint, dual exhaust, factory a/c, TF, 10.75" torque converter (evidenced by the lesser fluid fill capacity).
The AMA specs were supposed to be what the cars were built with. The origin date for the document was in 1969, with a revision date in June, 1970.
Anybody have the file with the 1970 C-body AMA Specs?

The E63 code is listed as "383 Hi-Performance" in the order guides. In the B/E-body listings, the same order code is listed for both the 383/330 and 383/335 engines. Cam variations, as noted above, are different. The "N" code in a normal B-body or E-body, is the 383/330 version. The "N" code in a 1970 Challenger R/T, Coronet Super Bee, or Belvedere Road Runner is the 383/335 version, where the 383/335 is standard. All C-body "N", police or not, are the 383/330 variation.
Police B-body "N" are the 383/330 variation, also.
