That I do........'73 Fury I Sedan, Ex Toronto Metropolitan Police Cruiser, 360 2 barrel/727 car with quite a few police/fleet options.

I have agreed to purchase nearly everything that is decent from this car.

I have also made the same deal with this car, the first car is a Police Package, this car is a Taxi Package.

The '71-'73 Small block air cleaners don't seem to last very long. I've seen multiple rotted out now.

Picked up the intakes from my uncle Big in law over the weekend, I managed to talk the guy down to $30 for both, the cleaner one is a '73 440 intake, the other is a '75/'76 440 intake.

Went and picked this one up today. It came off a '74 OPP Gran Fury that donated its heart to a '73 Challenger......I won't say my opinion of that decision......But about 2 years after doing the 440 swap, the guy decided to go 6 pak, when that happened he gave his friend Gord the air cleaner, I bought the air cleaner off Gord today after he had it 8 years or so. It's all original, complete to the point it has every sticker, every vacuum line.

This one was on ebay, found it when I got home, have to go get it wednesday after work.

Honed and cleaned the block and put the crank and caps as well as rear main back in the 446 CI motor.

'69FuryIIIConvertible · Dec 28, 2015

Also honed and cleaned the block of my gold 440.

Also if you compare photo's of the two 440's you'll notice that the Gold RV block has more cooling passages and when I checked, they match the heads that it came with, which are RV heads.

Had a notice from the post office when I got home that I needed to go pickup a box................This is what I found.......

Apparently the Moral of Dennis' story is that everything is better with two.....

Both of the engines look like they were a great buy

They've turned out to be pretty good.

Bottom end of the 446 is coming along.

Picked up two 8 1/4 rear ends, one is going to be traded with my friends 8 3/4, so that I have a better rear end for the '73

So it turns out today is the day I Bought Dennis, I didn't bring him home for 9 days due to needing the snowbank he was in melt. Sort of a before and after of my Goldie as Kevin calls him .
