Yeah, I had no idea that this design was made for 1 year and 1 year only when I bought the car?! The provisions on the engine blocks aren't hard to find, one just needs to make sure prior to your build. That'd be a massive disappointment.
The harder part to find is the engine mounts, at...
I'm selling my 1965 Plymouth Fury III. I bought this car from California back in 2017. It came with a 383/4spd. My goal was to assemble a powerful cruiser to fit our family of 5. I drove it for a year and pulled the motor/trans last summer. I sold the original 383 on our local Denver, CO...
Did you end up messing with the B body headers? I'm in the process of a 383 to 440 swap and I'm considering the TTI's, but it's $$$$$. Love to hear/see your setup now.

Thanks for the warm welcome! I posted a new thread regarding the 383 to 440 swap in the Engines/Drivetrain section. If anyone has any feedback I'd greatly appreciate it!
Thanks for the quick response LocuMob.
Did you end up running long-tube headers or shorties and what brand?
Do you have manual or power steering?
Do you have any pics to share?
Thanks again!
Hey guys, I'm new to the forum and I'm hoping the combined experience here can educate me on the trials and tribulations of the 65 Fury.
Situation:
I purchased a 1965 Fury III roller (no motor or trans) which had a 383 mated to a A-833 4speed.
I already own a stroker 493 RB Stroker motor...
Interested in C-body upgrades and modifications. I've got a 1965 Fury III which I'm doing research on an engine swap (383 to 440). Hoping to find some help on the site from all the experienced members!
