1966 Sport Fury update

[mrkt09]

Figured you guys would like to see some progress as it has been a while since I last posted. Last night, took her for the shakedown drive after finishing the front end and redoing the front end of the engine. Pics are a bit blurry due t taking them last night but it drove beautifully, albeit I need to bleed the brakes again as the brake pedal is a bit spongy. Not picture is the new PS pump, brackets, or pulley.

A big thank you to Rick at 440source who put up with all my idiotic phone calls and the guys at PST for actually making parts for the C Body.



As an added bonus, here is the wrangler we got for my Fiance last week. Enjoy!

Hello, I just picked up a 67 Sport Fury and am in need of a front end rebuild kit. I saw one on layson's for $629. I saw the pic of your kit for your 66. Could you tell me where you got it and how much you paid?

PST they are like 230$ for a kit but it don't come with idler and pitman arm.

Looks great! I like the jeep too,although it needs some lift and tires!

 

[Walter67]

Thanks for the help.

Its from p-s-t.com. think it was around 260 but did not include inner tie rods or the idler/pitmann arm. heres a link for your car.

I thought that initially but spun it up to 5500 RPM for a minute and not contact.

Has a 3 inch lift and those are 17 inch wheels, 33 overall tire. The fiancé is 5'5", but we will be getting some m/t tires on the spare set of AR outlaws.

brake stall it and see how close it gets. the brakes will be a little spongy till the brake shoes seat in. will take a couple of stops and letting it set till they cool off. this is why i don't put a clutch fan on mine. it's a little to close for my liking.

The reward for being right in this case would be a messy and costly one. Just find a shorter spacer and be done.
Nice ride OP, dig it!

There isnt a spacer on his car. It just has the fan hub bolted to the water pump.

Did you get the billet thermostat housing that 440source sells? I want to pick one up. My cast chrome one is started to leak.

Do you have a fan shroud?

 

[mrkt09]

I got the chrome housing and i need to replace the rubber gasket it came with with a paper one. Cant get it to seal correctly when running her a bit. I have no shroud.
