The vacuum pump comment reminds me of when I ran one on my injected '70 Vette, the suction it created was absolutely incredible and it certainly evacuated all the crankcase pressure!! I've never shown that car here (for obvious reasons) but here's a picture of the engine with the vacuum hose...

The valley pan I bought wasn’t from Eddy, they are out of stock with absolutely no idea if/when they’ll be available again so I bought one from Midwest Performance Products (on Ebay). This one definitely isn’t 1/4”, only about 1/16th, but that is way thicker than the factory piece. One big...

Now for today’s bad news. When I bought the Fury in what seems like a lifetime ago it showed up wearing a set of “Direct Connection” valve covers. When I was a youngster and bought my first car (‘68 Roadrunner) Direct Connection was THE source for Mopar go-fast goodies, so I’ve wanted nothing...

For the rest of today’s fun… Here’s where I ended up mounting the temp senders; the wiring will run back along the valley tray along with the distributor and coil wiring. Here’s the test fit of the distributor with everything ready to run, ie, 12 degrees btdc (as specified by Eddy) and #1...

Many years ago I used one of their thermostat spacers on my injected Vette and loved it, but with the various ports available om the Mopar pump housing I decided to just stick with those. No, not as slick looking but also less $ spent.

On, of, repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat, then repeat some more!

Today was a BIG day, pretty much finished off the engine. Got the Milodon 7qt pan with external lines secured onto the bottom of the engine, sandwiching the stud girdle between the pan and block. I don’t know of big block Mopars having issues with main web instability bit I figured having it...

Spent the day finalizing the rocker shims, adjusting lash, and torquing the heads; real happy with how things are moving along. My only little complaint with the PRW rocker assembly, and it’s a really minor one, is the quantity of shims supplied to set the side clearance of the rockers, it...

You’re right, it is a tight fit, but it looks like there is more than enough material left to make a good seal; I was concerned about this so tried to pay close attention while modifying.

A little follow-up to a couple things I mentioned before about clearancing for pushrods and the distributor. The outer exhaust pushrods needed a TON of clearancing but luckily there is more than enough material available. The center intake pushrods also needed quite a bit but I had to be...

Here are a few more pix of the heads during the mockup process. The valves are from Hughes (another company that has GREAT service) measuring 2.20" I & 1.81" E, the springs are from Comp and are double w/ dampers rated at about 350lbs open with Comp retainers. Had I known, when I bought these...

Hey guys, thanks for the well-wishes, it's much appreciated. I'll be taking the heads back apart this weekend to clean everything, then reassemble them for installation, so I'll get some pix of just how much hogging out I had to do as well as the Smith Brother's pushrods I bought. BTW - if you...

OMFG, I can't believe it's been nearly 2 years since I've worked on the Fury, but family life has settled down quite a bit since I last posted and I decided to SLOWLY work towards finishing the car. To that end I purchased the entire valve-train and have begun piecing it all together, so here's...

Thanks much but sadly I don’t remember what brand I bought, though they were just some generic brand I found on Amazon.

Hey bud, I think it’s going to take someone who really appreciates the direction I took as opposed to a restoration, so only time will tell. Was good seeing you again a couple months ago, I hope all is well with you and your family.

Thanks much for the good wishes, they’re MUCH appreciated!

It’s a tough decision that revolves around family health issues but sadly it’s one I have to make, so up for sale it goes. Please feel free to ask me anything you like, I’m always happy to share my experience(s).

Like so many others before me life has gotten in the way and forced me to stop work on my ‘64 Fury build within view of the finish line; it breaks my heart but I’m forced to do it. I’ve got hundreds of pictures and descriptions on my build-thread here on “B-Bodies” (see below), but I’ll...
