Hi G,
Only difference between Fury and Belvedere is the level of trim (less difference
than a Midget vs. Sprite). The 383 block is physically the same size, but I
believe the 318 can only be bored out to 340 or 360 at max. All the mopar
people
take them out of their cars for 383 and above, kind of like us dumping 948's and
1098's for 1275's.
Was at Dixon for a while but didn't see you, saw Crash, wrong way Rick and Glen
Byrns, we stayed until it started pouring out and them left. Last year it was
105,
this year it rained. It's not supposed to rain in May. I would have taken the
105
heat.
