i guess this will be my introductory thread. heres the background on my story

my dad was a drag racer we had many cars. we have owned a total of 4 sport furys i think our originial was sold. 2 more were in our drive way and mexicans stole and wrecked those. now i still have the last 1.

it is a 63 sport fury, golden commando power edition, supercharged. my dad passed away along time ago (if your going to post please dont say sorry for your loss). anyways the last time it was driven it was over heated as i recalled and it was put in the shop all fluids drained and sat for about 8 years or so, now we moved into town and it has been in the garage for 2 years. ive decided something needs to be done with it. when we were going to move it we had it ready when we flipped it on it turned over but the gas lines we dry rottted or a mouse got to them so gas spewed out. i am young guy but i am not stupid. my dad taught me well and i am mechanically inclined. ive built and worked on dirt track cars, i fix and rebuild all of our fourwheelers.

now i am here to try to get it running. i plan to disconnect the fuel pump and try to pour gas into the carb and attempt to start it. hoping it starts though if not i have a complete set of parts to rebuild the motor. from the gaskets to a new super charger to new heads.

after i get it running and cleaned up i am planning to sell it as i have no need for the car. which brings me to a question, i have researched and may have a basic idea of what its worth but i want to know what you guys think.
again its a 63 sport fury, original black paint and interior. the golden commando power series, supercharged all from the factory


sorry for the long post lol

 

Welcome, gotta love those Sport furys

 

lol ya if i like it enough ill keep it, though i really want somethin a little more sportier like a older camero, mustang, or maybe a chevelle

 

Seek medical attention, and by the way welcome to MOPAR FORUMS.

 

Welcome to the forum.

Like 66 said, the furys are just not worth that much unless its to another person that loves them. If you can get it to run and you don't want it, I would just sell it off with all the parts as a package deal.

 

i believe it has the 440 wedge head because all the parts are labeled 440 but its missing the crossram

 

my car is identical to this one expect the wheels and crossram: http://www.autotraderclassics.com/details?adId=90582673 is it possible to just have a single carbed wedge head?

 

yes
440 never got cross rams

 

ok then its a 440 wedge head

 

is it the original engine, because the 440 didnt come out until 65 i believe

 

not sure it might not be origninal it could have came out of 1 of the other fury's we had

 

can you get the #'s of the block
then we can tell you exactly what it is

 

location of the numbers?

 

they should be on the sides of the block

 

ok give me 15min

 

ok i only ound 1 number off the intake manifold, 280881 is there anything distinct that would identify it?

 

not sure
you didnt find any numbers on the side of the block?

 

nope i cant see any but now looking through old albums of it im 99% sure its got a 440 and all the spare parts are labeled 440. and in the old pics it shows the supercharger on it that isnt on it now (still got the brandnew redone supercharger on a self on the garage) along with the carb set up so if i can get it running its going back on it

 

hmmm, if it is a 440, it probably isnt the original engine
but, it doesnt really matter

 

is there anything special they had that could identify it? like the headers,intake manifold, etc...

 

if it is a 440, on the front of the engine, there will be a flat part, and stamped in it will be the year the engine was used and numbers 4 40

 

heres the nly number i could find it was on top of the engine heres a pic

 

but look at all the parts i found, two sets of pistons, connecting rods, push rods and valve springs, cam, every gasket and last but not least the supercharger that was already there thats all ive found so far, heres a link to my photobucket album of pics of everything including the car and all the parts

http://s372.photobucket.com/albums/o.../sport%20fury/

 

you didnt see any numbers on the side of the block
like this:

 

maybe ill have to look again with a flash light. but if you look at the connecting rod pic on my photobucket it says 440 6pk and theres 8 rods there

 

are those just spare parts though, maybe from the other fury's that you had/
do you remember the years of the other fury's?

 

they cant be parts for the others. 2 were stock and wrecked only used those as parts cars and the other 1 was gone wayy before he ever bought this 1

 

hmm, do you know how he aquired the extra parts?

 

those pistons dont seem like any stock one mopar used
