I am beginning what may be a needle in the haystack type of search. I am trying to find the original engine for my 65 Sport Fury Convertible. It was originally sold at Tom Price Chrysler Plymouth in Spokane, Washington. It was originally white w/ white top and black interior. It was built with a 426 wedge and 4-speed transmission. At some point a 383 was installed and the car was painted red and the top changed to a black top. The previous owner installed a 426 street wedge built by Marlin Bogner which is absolutely great. He bought the car from a gentleman in Michigan several years ago. Any help you guys can offer would be appreciated. I have been told that engines were not numbers matched in 65 but I have also been told the opposite. Thanks in advance and wish my luck.
In 65, the engines didn't have the vin stamped on them. This started in 68-69. The best you could do is find a date coded engine, produced about a month or so before the build date of your car.
