Here's the question first, what are the major hurdles in swapping slant six to 318 or 440 in a 65 to 68 fury or polara ?
Now the long winded story to go with it., I have the bug bad and there are some 65 68 4 door fury's in the area, nice condition, minty ,but plainish , grandpa cars . which is even cool in some ways , 40 , 60 thousand mile cars .. Plus a 67 4 dr polara , 60 thousand , all with auto slant sixes all reasonably priced. And in between Also a sharp fury 3 again 4 dr , but with a 383 commando, ( tempting)
Nice 2 doors are 4 to10 times the money.
Rusted out ones, beat up interiors ones are still double .the price of these.
I would gladly drive the slant sixes, and it will take a few years anyway to get any of the swap possibilities, rebuilt to drop in .
Here they are , already have them
Potential swaps, 72 b body 318 and auto.
Runs drives sounds great ,
71 440 out of Chry 300 , and trans will have to rebuild the motor ok but sat too long . And the rads and accessories out those cars are all there.
So what are the main hurdles trying any of these swaps,
Front suspension? Motor mounts ? Transmission extension lengths,
I am tempted to snap up one of these any way , but swap potential gives me more excuses to explain away another car.
