The original engine in my ‘64 Sport Fury was a 361. 80000 miles, re-ringed by Chrysler under warranty at 40k (1967). Ran well, 9:1 2 barrel. After swapping it for a 426-S it’s sitting in my garage looking for meaning in life. Debating what to do with it. Can’t imagine the car is worth any more with it than without, sorta don’t care.
Does anyone even want a 361? Was thinking about breaking it up. Crank is almost certainly pristine, same with rods. Maybe worth $225 and $100? 516 heads had a valve job about 10k ago, maybe worth $100? Already stole the oil pan for the Fury,
Anyway, looking for opinions. Is it pure sacrilege to dump the original engine in a car I have the window sticker for?
