66 Fury Commando - modernizing
About to take delivery of a 1966 Fury Commando auto Convertible. Not sure if it's got a 318 or 383. Love these cars. Used to have a 1966 Hardtop.
Going to make this a driver, and thinking about modernizing. Looking for any help or guidance on upgrading the following:
1) Suspension - if i remember these are torsion bar setups. Any upgrade kits or approaches (e.g. coil over,etc)
2) Motor - Looking for sites, guidance, providers to install a modern Chrysler motor - say something from a Challenger. Full drive train and keep computer etc.
3) Brakes - conversion to disk
Just joined here. Plenty of wrench turning time on the following:
2001 Suburban
2000 Seville SLS
1980 Fiat 124 (rebuild and restore)
2002 Dodge Interpid (motor swap)
1969 Mustang Fastback (rebuild and restore)
2004 Ford Escape
1966 Fury !!

Welcome. If you go new Hemi you should have no problem finding resources as many have been doing it for many years. EFI, carb, kits to add distributors and adapt any transmission you may want.
