Well, Jim (tuckpointer74), I just looked at my response to your posting and I see that I lied to you, and I don't even know you! I told you that if you install a big block Mopar with a longer transmission in your Fury you will need a longer drive shaft, and that makes no sense. I meant to say that you will need a shorter one.

Blame it on the dementia typical of some of us geezers. I have edited the response.

Mike is right on. If you don't already have a 413, sniff around for a 440. They are pretty plentiful and are comparatively inexpensive. You'll come out ahead both powerwise and financially.

Here is a quote by a knowledgeable guy who used to check in here ("Call Me Doc") regarding the 413:

"Motorhome and truck 413 engines usually have different heads than passcar engines; they have extra water jacketing around the exhaust ports and will not accept passcar headers or manifolds. They also use a unique intake, which is not a worthwhile performance piece, and many of them had 8-bolt cranks with a proprietary converter/flywheel hub length. Plan on using only the block; virtually everything else needs to be replaced right down to the water pump housing. Put yourself way ahead of the game and just find a 440... it'll be cheaper in the long run, and have more CID in the first place."

Take a look at the thread that quote came from. You might find some of it useful.
