Hello folks
ive bought the 66 plymouth fury sport as advertised this week on ebay im hoping to use the 440 engine and all the goodies, disc brake conversion etc to put into my 69 charger ,would the back axle fit and what problems shall i face,im going to put the 318 from the 69 back in the 66
any help or information would kindly be appreciated
kind regards jimmie biggam

That looks like a nice buy - wish id thought of it.
Shouldnt major hardship - all the bits are there and most will be the same. Better way to do it than i did. Keep us posted. If it doesnt work our, first refusal please on the engine

Thanks Morgan
I couldn’t resist I don’t think I could buy all the parts hardly for the advertised price
And I’m sure the sport fury will still be nice with the 318 cui in it
Cheers jimmie

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!

C bodies are much cooler than Chargers.... everyone knows that!!!!

The C body 8 3/4 is 1, 5/8" wider than the B body axle. Not sure on spring perch locations, so they may need to change.
What axle is under the charger at the moment? Assuming that's also an 8 3/4 can't you just swap the hop up goodies onto the car and keep the original axle case in place?
There's 3 types of third members and IIRC they have different sized prop joints so that's something else to watch out for if you want to avoid buying two new prop shafts.

Thanks Jon
The chap I’m buying it from said he has two mopar propshafts ,one is to short for the fury he thinks that is the standard charger ,here’s hoping it is , it also comes with a new brake disc conversion I’m hoping this will also do ?
Cheers Jimmie biggam. Any more info greatly appreciated

I am not totally convinced that "C" Body Brakes (Uprights/ Knuckles, Hubs, etc) will fit "B" Body......

I’ll soon find out Pete I’ll keep my fingers crossed
Cheers Jimmie biggam

I can help you with what will fit / measurements as got a 66 Fury and a 69 Charger here to compare against. Im buggered at the moment as Ive fractured my foot.

Thanks charger
i hope your back to full fitness soon,Ill be heading down to cornwall in approx two weeks so ill have both cars here in the workshop
the main reason for the purchase was the 440 engine,gearbox and axle if the brake disc conversion fits even better if not it will be put on the fury and ill source a kit for the charger thanks for your interest
