New to this site, but not to M bodies. I own a 1985 Plymouth Gran Fury Salon AHB that has an X head 360 w/ TTI headers, 727, and 3.55 geared 8 1/4. The engine is hurt, though, and blows smoke out of the exhaust on one side. Plus it blows out the dipstick & oil.
Working on finishing a J head 360 rebuild to swap in. The 360 was originally going to go into my second car:

Second car is a 1988 Plymouth Gran Fury AHB. This car has been stored in a barn for almost 12 years. Mice haven't been nice to it. Crackhead stole the exhaust with the 3 catalytic converters (no big loss, TBH), the Edelbrock AVS, AC coil, and radiator. The sophisticated fellow that I paid to move it tried to pull it out while in park. By the support that goes from the bottom of the radiator panel to the front nose cone/ hood latch.

So long story short, I'm going to be looking for M Body parts.

I also own a 1986 Dodge Ram w150, 318/ 727. Putting a plow on it currently & chasing electrical gremlins the wiring is causing. Also a 1973 Dodge Charger SE, 400/ 727. Rolling shell.

I'll post more of the Fury(s) later as well as a Parts Wanted post. Thanks for entertaining my ramblings!!
 
Welcome!
Your handle has me laughing.
I've been working on an International Harvester 1086 -- IH1086
So I glance at your handle and see IH8G and immediately start being confused. Whats an International Harvester 8G?

Then its like watching a real life 'dumb blonde' joke ... Oh Oh I get it ... I hate GM and Ford... LMAO!

(No offense to any blondes out there. .. I'm a victim of age ... my first jokes I learned were dumb blonde ones.)

I've been using that handle prolly since my EBay days before the turn of the century. Many just think it's some weird model of Ford (" I've never heard of a Ford IH8GMand"). Lol
Thanks for the welcome, former stranger!
