[FWDLK] More ?s, just can't help it...



       Hello everyone,
     First off, thanks for all the responses to my earlier posts.  I went
     and bought the standard catalogue of Chrysler, and have been reading
     it since.   I am thrilled to hear that a 392 - `58 fury is not that
     difficult of a project.  I imagine that it would make for one of the
     cooler cars ever made.  I have some concerns that I would like to
     present to everyone.  How available are these cars.  I have been
     looking around lately, and I have not found many older Mopars.  There
     are hundreds of old chevys around, but I am meeting with no Mopar
     success.  The back of the Chrysler catalogue lists prices for cars
     based on condition.  How accurate are these?  I would love to find a
     392 etc. in any (non cracked of course) condition.  I have been told
     that these engines are worth a fortune (second only to the 426 hemi).
     I like the Forward look cars because they have so many good qualities,
     but my budget isn't on par with my taste.  I have a couple of engine
     questions, with the hope that the 392 isn't the only graceful fit in a
     `58.   What are the differences between the 413 and the 392?  Is it
     correct that the 413 was used for it's better hp over the 392?  How
     does the 413 relate to the 426, and then the 426 hemi? Is there a
     progression between these engines?  How does the 440 fit in with these
     other big blocks?  Was the early 383 a poly head wedge engine?  Does
     it use the same block as the 318?  Finally, is the `58 Dodge or Desoto
     similar to the Fury in bellhousing and tranny configuration?   Last
     but not least, my Dad informed me that a Great Uncle of mine had an
     old early hemi Chrysler sitting on his farm. (along with a bullet
     nosed studebaker etc.) He passed away last year, and I believe that
     the car is still sitting there.  I am in the process of finding out
     more about this car.  Wish me luck.
     Peter
