Thanks for the input. I did do a little more work on my set up. Pics attached. I am 99% sure that the rack and pinion will work out just fine. Today I made up the "couplers" to attach the tie rod ends to the shafts of the rack and pinion. With the spindles at proper ride height, the rack and...

Good evening everyone, Here is the latest on the Fury-Us Project. I married the front end assembly back to the body for the first time in 1 1/2 years. It took most of the day to get it all done, but was rewarding. Witlh the stock steering column installed, headers and rack and pinion, for the...

Thanks for the input guys. Always welcome. The block and trany that you have seen in the former pictures are not the exact parts I am going to use in the final build. This rack and pinion idea I have is going to be close, so I decided that I had better put the correct parts in before going any...

I have done a little more work on the header/steering challenge for the Fury. I got an old set of 1 7/8" headers from a 440 B body that a friend of mine had. He had replaced his and had these left over. I did a little more work on my fixture to hold the rack and then began looking at how to...

I agree with you completely. They will need to be center dump. I have looked at quite a few different manufacturers, but really do not see anything that I can buy and bolt on and work. Some that might are not big enough to support 600 - 650 HP. Most likely I will just make them myself. As far as...

OK, I gotta jump in here. It has been awhile since I posted, but I am not dead yet! It is racing season and I am busy making a living. But, in the downtime ,(LOL) I have been working on FURY-US. The 1967 Fury III that I am restoring for my wife. I went with the Wilwood 12" rotor and 6 piston...

This in progress 1967 Fury III is for my wife. It will sport a 512 cubic inch big block when complete. She named it "Fury-us". The 1968 440 big block Dart is "Mr. Rude & Crude"

I put a Sniper on a 1970 383 Challenger 2 years ago. I had to send it back 3 different times before I could even get the car to run. All kind of issues with the injectors in the throttle body. It did not like the camshaft that was in the car. The manifold vacuum at idle was lower than what it...

Welding in the bungs for the injectors is easy. I did see manifolds for the RB engines but not the B. I would use a single throttle body in place of the carburetor and reinstall the dual snorkel air cleaner that came on the car for a cool look. I am going to talk to my MAXX rep and get his...

Hi Everyone, Getting back to work on my 67 Fury III and along with doing the sheet metal repairs I am working on my engine build. I am taking a 400 over bored .040 and plan to use the 440 source stroker kit for a 512 cubic inch ground pounder. I have a set of ported Indy cylinder heads ready to...

I am not sure if Gear Vendors makes an overdrive for the manual trans or not. On my 67 Barracuda with the 5.7 Hemi and 727 with with 355 gears I went with the Gear Vendors Overdrive unit and it is the best of both worlds. The car really moves out while not in the overdrive mode, but gets 20 MPG...

I am going to pursue the rack and pinion idea. Now I have another question for you guys concerning the Fury. All of the trim is on the car, but some of it is pitted especially the pot metal parts like the trim around the tail lights and places like that. In leu of re-chroming, has anyone tried...

Thanks for the info. I was just wondering if that car had been finished and how the rear end worked out. I have no interest in purchasing that car, LOL. My plate is full. I am going to look into that myself as I have both, A Fury and a Challenger rear end. As far as the R&P goes, I have some...

Does anyone know the status of this project?

Thanks for the feedback. I am just brainstorming on this car at the moment and wanted to reach out to all of for your opinion. The weight of the car and the rack and pinion chosen is a good point and well taken. I am going to pitch out a few more of my ideas for this car to you guys for your...
