Alright. I've been checking around for quite a while and have been having problems finding help for my car. When my dad gave it to me it needed a lot of work. Well then I joined the Navy and now it needs even more. I want to get started working on it but I'm having problems getting the information I need.

My car. . .
1969 Plymouth Fury III 4-door hardtop
Now I know these came with at least 2 different engine options. Mine is probably a base model. It has a high-compression 318, which I am having a hard time finding parts for, and I have seen a 383 version, which I think is the luxory version, cause its got electric windows and seats and things like that. Now I want to keep this engine if possible, but I want to get as much power out of it as I can. I am already planning on getting a dual exhaust and a 4 barrel carb for it but I would like suggestions on what else I should put in it. And seeing as how I plan on stripping the engine all the way down to the block, its possible that I will be replacing everything except the block. Does anyone know where I might be able to go to find parts. I plan on getting it shipped from Idaho down here to San Diego close to the end of the year and I would also like to find a good place to get body and interior work done. Any suggestions on that would be more than welcome. Well I was told that I would be able to find help on here if any where. Peace and God bless!
