February 2013 Mopar of the Month
Tim writes:The body of this Sport Fury has 57,000 miles on it. My son was 13 at the time I purchased the Plymouth and the Mopar has been great for him and I to work on this project together over the years. Now he is 26 and has a Demon of his own! |

The Max Wedge engine idles fairly nice and has good throttle response, and is an all around better driver on the street.
| The old tunnel ram engine had Edlebrook heads on it and was good for the strip because I had a 5000 stall converter in it. Made it not very streetable. The Sport Fury ran 13.4 in quarter with this setup! |

After I installed a Gear Vendors overdrive unit and new drive shaft the Plymouth goes down the freeway at 70 mph @ 2600 rpm. A little more respectable than 3200 at 60 mph with the previous setup.
