furious

As some of may know I recently became the happy owner of my first Mopar, a 1966 Plymouth Fury 2 door post with a three on the tree and Slant Six. Well all sort of dreams of big block power have danced through my head until they were crashed this morning. I found out after a few phone calls to some experts that my car is a bit of a rare bird and putting a big block would violate my first rule.. no cutting! I would have to cut the frame mounts out and weld in new ones from a donor car. I have decided to go a new route, one that will take considerable planning to pull off, at least I have lots of time. The original drivetrain will be tucked away to protect its heritage and in its place will go... a new improved slant six with a turbocharger/intercooler/methanol injection to give it that fun factor that I crave. I plan to make the interior/exterior look factory fresh and give everyone a real suprise when I open the hood. If anyone has any good leads for tech or examples I would be more than happy to hear it.

Well the way it has been explained to me by the fellows at Schumacher Creative Services and a few fellows that restore Mopars for a living locally is that the C body k member is integral (i.e. welded) into the the subframe and cannot be removed by removing a few bolts. I checked it out afterward and found it to be accurate. It is a oddity among the Mopar family. I haven't offically checked the rarity, but it was explained that someone had to specifically request that they get a Slant Six, V-8's were the norm on this body platform. Also I want to be able to preserve the originality of it at a later date if it strikes me to restore it to stock. Something about running something so unusual appeals to me, I can defintely throw the dare to be different card on this one.
