Question 1987 Plymouth Gran Fury

I just got a 1987 Plymouth Gran Fury. If someone can tell me some good ways to make this car better please reply. Its got a 318 in it already. I'm pretty much looking for budget upgrades.

They made the Gran Fury in 1987, and with a 318? Interesting. I know of things that you can do, I just need to know you exact price range and then I can point out some things.

1987 Plymouth Gran Fury

My price range would be anywhere around $1000 and under. I just got a new job so I'm just starting out. Just give me those ideas Polygon. Thanks.

Question 1987 Plymouth Gran Fury

I'm actually wanting to put a nice system in my car. I want to put 4 12" subwoofers in the trunk and I need to remove the spare tire and jack from the trunk mount to do so. Does anyone know where I could locate the spare and jack instead of the trunk??

For starters, lose the Lean Burn system...The computer off a 318/360 van will work well. If you have the 2bbl, a 4bbl swap is easy, and cheap. Look for the 4bbl manifold from a 360 (Again, look at vans/trucks) and T-Quad. If I'm not mistaken, the '86-and-up 318s have a roller cam, so cam swaps are a little more money, but with the 4bbl and some head work, you can make it go! While you're under the hood of the van(s) nthat yer swiping parts from, grab the vacuum advance distributer and dual snorkel air cleaner. For more $$$, you can get the heads done for good flow. The #302 castings are excellent, but stock flow about 135cfm @.500 lift, which is weak. Get the heads milled .030-.050, open the valves to 2.02/1.60 inch, and port at will. If you want to move away from the roller cam, the Comp Cam Xtreme Energey 268 is an excellent cam.
