The candidate for the 451. Dormant and waiting!

'72? I had a '71 4dr green Fury II.

Looks like yours is in nice shape!

Seems like 87% of the fuselage era C bodies were green.

Make that 87% of all chryslers! My Challenger was GF7 originally.

thanks. should be fun when the motor and tranny gets done. It may get the 3.91's from the 68.

That's a pleasant surprise that it has an 8 3/4 axle in it. My Fury II had
an 8 1/4 with moon gears [2.76s].

I'll have to double check is the 8 1/4 a removable center section like the 8 3/4? i believe its got 3.23s in it.

I'm hoping to get the big ol beast into the 12's with a set of 3.91's when the 451 is done and dropped into place.

Nope, the 8 1/4 doesn't have a removable pumpkin like the 8 3/4. They're easy to tell apart... from the rear, 8 3/4 will have a smooth housing, while the 8 1/4 has a bolted-on cover:

14s@90s, too heavy for 12s or 13s, no matter what rear gears, unless NOX or blower.

damn that's disappointing it should weigh in at around 4200 lbs or so. the later fusies were lighter than that imps ect. ill take what I can get and just learn to be happy with it!

yup its a dissapointing 8 1/4 so off i go looking for a 8 3/4

flyinbrick68 · Post by **flyinbrick68** » Sun Mar 23, 2014 8:42 pm

i think a 4200lb barge can get into the 13's... well see when i get er done...

Got the rear jacked up spun the tires and counted revolutions on the diveshaft. I probably have 2.76's in it guess i shouldn't have trusted the guys word when i bought it when he said 8 3/4 rear with 3.23's. Well i guess itl make it easy to retrofit a sermt of disk brakes off the rear of a jeep grand cherokee though...;)

Owned so many green Chrysler cars! Triple greens by the dozen!

Lol yeah wish it wasn't green really but hey what can ya do. Maybe with some luck the 451 will be free from the machine shop and i can get the tranny rebuilt. I hope she'll be one the road in a year or so. If all else fails... well out goes the 451 from the fury and into the 68 and the 383 from the 70 d100 goes into the fury and the fury goes bye bye to fund my 68 d100.
