69 Fury Upgrades
Hey guys, I just purchased my fist old car. Got a 69 Fury III. Everything is running fine but looking to do a little performance upgrades. Since its only a 318 I am not finding a lot of ideas. Anyone know a few things???

I am just looking to make it a nice cruiser but add some power to it. So far I just started out by buying a new edlebrock carb and edlebrock performer manifold. Looking to do some work to the top but just unsure what all would be worth it for weekend cruiser.

Nice looking Fury and welcome to the forum!
Those wheels look pretty good but, if you pulled them and painted the drums a satin black, they'll look even better! Good luck! Rick

Do you have a sure-grip unit?

First off let me say Welcome to the board. Nice car.
Yep this will give you the answer. You might want to try looking at the front of the rear pumpkin. There was once a tag there that gave the ratio. might still be there. Probably 2:76 or 3:23. Most likely it has an open rear, non sure grip. Anything can and did come on these though. The 318 has tons of after market parts. First up is a complete tune up so you know it's condition. Older motors can be tired and nothing is going to make much difference. Some times a good tune can realy wake up a motor. If everything checks out, I would go with dual exhaust. You will be hard pressed to get headers in any C-body but a good dual system on stock logs will help. Next would be 4 barrel carb and a mopar electric ingnition would help alot. These are heavy cars and the best way to make em fast is to go big block, i.e. 440. You might find a good deal on a 360 and that will just need a c-body oil pan and all the 318 parts after that will work. Nice car have fun.

Big motor won't bolt up to small motor transmission. Here is a good read.

i'm doing the same thing with my 318. slight port/polish on the heads, 4bbl carb/performer manifold, headers and a mild cam. that should get me at or near 300 hp real quick and that's all i need in a big fury. oh, and an .030 over bore. already have the internals, now i just have to break it down and get the heads to a machine shop.
don't underestimate the 318 - it can be a little thumper.
