Need tech information

I am trying to find what size motor would be in a 1965 Plymouth Fury III 4 door.  The numbers on door plate are P8 (G/6?) 59199158.  The fender tags are:  Model A-P2_H_41, Body 1843, Paint Code NN, Trim code H1R.  The bracket code above is very faded and not even sure if there should be a digit there.

Please email me if you have an idea.  T

Thank you;
Bill

In 1965 you could not tell the engine size by the VIN. I'm sot sure about the fender tag but I'm guessing that you probably can't. You can tell if it is a big block because the distributor will be located in the front while small blocks have them in the back. Also, you could easily tell if it is a slant six because the engine is an I6 format.I hope I have been of some help, good luck!

The vin decodes as a 65 Plymouth taxi built in Windsor, Canada.  The fender tag info doesn't make much sense.  Are you sure you are looking at a fender tag?  The paint code indicates silver and the trim shows high grade cloth and vinyl bench in red.  The body code doesn't jive with anything I have.  The engine code would be at the top under the letters A and B.

most likely it is a 318 wide block / Polysphere

Thank you for the welcome and all the info.  I will have a look whether distributor is front or back.  Definately not a 6.  Car runs and drives and the seller wants $300.  It's a 4 door, so not really my ride, but thought the engine/tranny may be worth something to someone.

Many 65' Fury's also came with 383s and 361s..  I know a guy looking for some 65' Sport Fury parts. How is the body?? I know he needs both fenders and both lower rear quarters.. I think he needs inner fenders too...   Come to think of it,,, that car is a piece of shit!!
