    I have a 66 fury with a 318 wedge and I was wondering what other motors i could get one from that will bolt up to it.

    What, exactly, is a 318 wedge ????? You either have a 318 OR you have a wedge......

    If you have a 318 Poly (A-engine) then any small block, A or LA, trans will bolt up. If you have a wedge, then you are looking for any B-RB package.

    With either assembly, you must pay attention to the fact that all 66 engines are internally balanced, assuming that you have the original engine.

    OK....if you want a one-for-one, no hassle replacement, then look for a 66-71 Chrysler, Plymouth or Dodge with the SAME engine as yours (whatever that is). Keep in mind that they will, most likely, be tired and need work.

    In 1966, the stock 318 is a Poly-head A-engine. ANY 727A or 904A will fit the car. Same applies if it has a later LA-318.



    Hemiparts, I'm sure that is what he was referring to when he said a "wedge" is that he likely has a later LA318, rather than the original Poly 318.

    Patrick, therein lies the problem. It can be a major pain to try and decipher what someone really means when their verbage is jumbled. I'm still not sure if he has a 318P, 318LA or a 383.:cool:

    The correct designation for a 318 Poly is the 318A or A318. The letter "P" is not used in that context.
