Upon further contemplation, the above female probably didn't own it. They just didn't do 'that' back in the day! Awesome pic though.

Sorry, but I have to dis-agree. A young lady in our town, fresh out of college, her Dad the local farm implement and Mopar dealer. She bought a brand new 1957 Plymouth Fury two 4 bbl 318 engine. Drove it out to teach school in California for a few years. and then came back home. The Fury sat in her parents yard for many years , she never married. Not being driven at all . Like a dummy, I didn't realize what it was , and let it get away from me Many years later a guy came along and bought it for little to nothing. Much more to the story after then...............................MO

A factory 318 with twin 4bbls?! I had no idea! I learned something new for the day.....Thanks!

Blade I think he meant a Fury II?? I once put a 4-bbl carb&intake on my dad's 63 Fury that I pulled off an older car that was in the junkyard, rebuilt the carb and spent the weekend going thru a tank of gas ($..035 a gal?) and took it back off,too much money!!!

I think they offered the dual quads for only a couple of years on the "big block" or "poly" 318. Very cool looking setup. I'm not sure if it made a lot more power, but definitely cool...

Just found this on web. Caption said it's a '57 Fury, but I dunno for sure.

I believe marios pic is a BB 383, one of my buddies had one on a 61-2 Fury. Not very common, but we didn't know that at the time!

Now you have me question what I think I know. I do know the Fury engine was very special high performance, but I could be thinking of the Chrysler 300 letter cars. The 57 Fury only available in buckskin color with gold side sweep. Except for Christine ! The Fury also had several other things unique to them. The guy that wrangled the Fury here local that I am talking about, sold it out East for $12,000 last year, and it needed TOTAL restoration including floors. ..............................MO

The gold grille and the fender top spear looks like 57.-58
I believe that by 61-62 the Chryslers and Dodges had long tube cross ram intakes. Don't know about the Plymouths and even IF there were Furys in those years...........................MO

Cant see the distributor but if it isn't on the front it is most likely a 318

The group of plug wires over the right valve cover go toward the rear of the engine, plus the shape of the valve covers give it away; 318 Poly.
