so today well i was at the car cruise me my dad and his friend came up with the idea of swaping the motor and all the electronics from a srt-8 in to my fury and make the only srt-8 fury. so what im asking is whats your guys comments on that

 

Why?

Why not just build a period engine and put it in? That would only be like.. you know.. ten times cooler. 440 Six Pack anyone?

 

im going to try and do something like a sema build in a way. and i drive different cars then everyone around here, and i want like 500 hp.

 

It's not hard to make 500HP with older carb engines.

I just prefer carb over EFI anyway, less electronics

 

Yeah. I wouldn't want to have to wire in the whole harness and dash into a older car. Too many wires. I'd stick to the 4 maybe five wires for a carb engine harness rather than the 500 hundred for a newer EFI one.

 

Ive seen an old Charger with the 6.1 in it and it was pretty nasty

 

do it man, screw the nay sayers and do what you want to do, i like the furys. little bit smaller than chargers and challengers, the hard part would be the pluming for the fuel and the wiring.

do it i think it would rip

 

Hell yea! Do it! Everyone else probably has the built 440, or dreams of it.. why be the same as them?

that being said, the whole driveline from an SRT-8 is gonna be $$

 

gonna be mad money, get the motor with its own trans already mated and the full harness for both, be very computer savy, that motor is gonna be pissed off that it got takin from its home so be prepared to trouble shoot and not have a running car even after you get it buttoned up and you think your done. all the fuel system from the tank forwards will have to be redone so it can handle efi.

if you do it and do it right it should be way more reliable and trouble free then a rebuilt 360 or 440 on carb

 

why are you asking people on a ranger forum...

Do what you want, I think it would be cool though.

 

If you have $50,000 do it!

 

its was a idea me and my dad had and i thought it would be cool to ask u guys to get ur opinion on it. and the fury body style is a c body and its way bigger then a challenger and charger.

 

It'd be pretty sweet, but a loooooooooooooot of work, more then it might be worth i think.

 

no way, it would be dope!

 

It would be pretty sweet, if you've got the resources then do it!

 

i think a 6.1 is a 383 is it not? anyway it would be super cool to see/ drive.

i do like the nights in the garage rejetting holley carbs and debating mechanical vs vacume secondaries e.ct.

do it!! will cost alot of bucks but will be a show stoopper as long as complete attentin to detail is given to the interface between new and old.

i would build a 383 or 440 myself just because i like old school tools--- dwell meters rock!!!--lol

anyway have fun and let us know.

chuck

 

lol that would be so cool but i couldnt do it i would get so frustrated the car wouldnt even make it half way through the build it would make it half way down a quary though

 

If you've got the money, parts and skills go for it!

 

New Hemis are big money. Overhaulin put a 5.7L in a Fury or something old and Mopar lol.

It was cool but for real power stay carbed.

 

It would certainly be a cool car once finished. It would be a practical daily car too.

The hardest part would be all of the wiring (at least for me), and giving up the unmatched violence of a big block, carb'd engine. I say go for it though

 

On an opposite note I thought it would be cool if some one (with ALOT of cash) bought one of the new Camaros and one of those all aluminum 427 big block ZL-1 engines from 1969 and made a super Big Block 2010 Camaro.

The engines alone are $20,000 a piece. They found the tooling in 2007 and produced another 427 of them as tribute. You can get them from Chevy performance in the big block section. They are called Anniversary Edition 427. They were rated at 430hp but really pushed out 550hp! And they weighted the same as the 302 that was in the Z/28! Apparently they are the same engines from the Stingray Corvette except they are all aluminum. That pretty much makes them the rarest and most famous engine ever produced.

A big block 2010 would be SOOOO cool.

 

well i was thinking of doing the 6.1L and u can get the computer motor and trans from a junkyard as a whole package deal.

 

that'd be sick!
one of my buddies has an old 510 datsun and he's dropping a 240sx motor in it

 

i vote 440 six pack and 4:10 gears

 

Late opinion… but if you are going for a custom look, sleek and low then the newer engine combo will work… (for me) (sort of a ZZ Top Machine) but if you are building a period piece then stick to an engine that was for the years around the year of your vehicle.

IMHO, because if it works for you then do it, you are the only one you have to please !

Also, how about a pic or two of the Fury...
