First, about the Fury. < story mode on>
I bought it in the early 60s, after destroying my 57 Belvedere in a
conflict with a turn and a mountain. The Fury was a 318 2-4bbl,
auto, PS, PB. It ran but had a tremendous knock, which turned out to
be a broken crank. So in goes the 334ci out of the 57, on goes the
2-4bbl manifold and I'm back in stock class again. ;^)
The Fury runs much slower that the 57, even returning to the 3-2s
doesn't bring the performance up to my standards, so it's time to
increase the displacement. As I said in my original post, 350ci,
361ci, 383ci, (which ends up in my 59 Dodge 1/2 ton) and finally a
413, donated by a friendly 61 Chrysler.
Finally the power I need, but what's this? I'm married with two sons!
Yikes!! racing is expensive, mama and babys need a new pair of shoes,
my racing days are over.
What got me started
