My last WOG chariet , was a Stirling Moss special

There ain't nothing like the torque of an old 440. Bought a 1980 fury cop car, minus engine and trans from a police auction, for $99. Stuffed in a 440 out of an Imperial. Went through 3 727 trannys, but man that thing would scoot. All the local cops were jealous! "Mopar or no car"

62 Plymouth Fury here...ugly as soap but I had transplanted a 440 from a wrecked 67 Fury to it. 4 tube Hooker headers, 6pack on a high rise, 410 gears and Crower cam... forget the lift and duration but it was as radical as I could go and run an automatic and still drive it on the street. Idling in low gear through the local dairy mart, it would leap frog in time with the cam lope. The old push button tranny never gave a minute of problem.

That's the same as the one I had back in 79. I never got that much when I sold it though.

had a 65 fury 1 the 383 just didn't cut it so in went a 440 magnum. it would jump a car length when it shifted to 2nd. one day i had a car load of people and decided to show them however that was just too much weight so it blew up the trans converter.
tc if you put it together watch which converter you use. 360,400,440 all take different weights on the converters. some steel cranks 70,s do not take weights.
engine sizes are stamped on block by distributor.
if you decide to go automatic i could help you pick a converter i still have my old converter books.
