Re: Fury update

["MO ( Steve Mick)" <micher@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hay Dave B,  Thanks for sending me some of your snow, but I really  didn't 
want the wind! What do I expect for free??

The Dodge did not have an engine or tranny , but it had been a colume shift 
3 speed. I would guess a 318 engine as I did  not have to change the K frame 
to put in a big block. The Sport Fury has a later 60's 383 engine and 
tranny. With the car, I got a dis-assembled 383 that I was told had a 
correct casting number block
Also two other 727 tranny and another for parts.  That is why my poor little 
Chebby 1/2 ton 305 C.I. pickup is squatting so much in the pics! I also got 
the stock console and bucket seats. If I keep the car, I will need a cable 
shift 727. ................MO
