Looked up the VIN today.
Apparently this left the factory with a big block 361.

Re: 1966 Plymouth Fury 3
361 BB that's pretty unusual isn't it? Wonder what that is powering now.
Are they worth enough to bother fitting the correct motor back in it out just stuck with the 318?

Re: 1966 Plymouth Fury 3
I was thinking about it but the LA is available in the same displacements as the B and I already have all the bolt-on stuff that fits the LA.DodgeRover wrote: ↑Mon Jul 25, 2022 5:32 pm 361 BB that's pretty unusual isn't it? Wonder what that is powering now.

Re: 1966 Plymouth Fury 3
I'm just waiting for the exchange rate to hit 2:1....

No, it was quite a surprise to find one.
It was really strange, my name was even on the title. Bizarre!

Re: 1966 Plymouth Fury 3
It stopped raining long enough to apply hammers to the drip rail. I had previously had a go at it and got it kinda straight but with the car out in the open and being able to step back and look at it more critically it was noticably bent.
Now it's straight enough for the trim to go back on, it even has the correct slight curve down into the corner.
Also noticed someone's put the H on upside downPontac Cheepten

Re: 1966 Plymouth Fury 3
I found the trim that goes on that gutter. It was twisted to hell because it wouldn't come off.
So, I had a go at it
I think that's about the limit of my expertise.
Looks as though it should clip back on properly.Pontac Cheepten

Re: 1966 Plymouth Fury 3
The two large holes in the rear-window shelf look exactly like they were made for loudspeakers. A pair of rear speakers (stereo) seems very advanced for 1966. First year of 8-track or were there stereo radios for cars by ‘66? (The stereo radio system was only standardised in ‘61)
