Which other car as the same platform for parts and which years are the same for parts ( suspension, floor pans, etc)

how much would a big block 4 speed 1966 fury weigh

My '66 sport fury with a 383 auto weighed 4,000 lbs.. I would imagine that when new it was a little heavier, it was a rust bucket.

C body... they become B body on 77, when Satellites/Coronets were removed from the line, and Furys/Monacos took the place on same plattform

YOU Mean SEA-Body because these cars are boats.

Mine is 4100 lbs BB, Auto, dana 60

The "C" platform between crysler, dodge and plymouth share many mechanical parts few if any body parts are interchangable

you are looking for the monaco, newport, new yorker, 880 and down under I think they are called the phoenix?

C-body, with a B-body style roof (which probably leads to the confusion). And the '65-'66 C's were closer to B in size than the later C's that swelled up big time (I'm not bashing, I love Fusalage styling!).

Your 66 is nice!!
Here is my 65 Sport Fury that was 4000lbs
after the cage and S&W ladder bar suspension.
It sported a 440/ 727/ Dana 60.

I have to get the other pictures scanned.
The picture here is from Cedar Falls Raceway.
The other pictures look a lot better.

Sportfury, good luck on in getting the new ET. From where did you drop the 200 lbs?
