Welcome Chris!  Nice find. 1964 Sport Fury is a great car. 

I agree with Dodger. You can use either 413 or 440 but a 440 build is less coin. Pick your choice as the engine in there now is not original. The 1964 Sport Fury would either have the 318 cid, the 361 Commando 2bbl engine, the 4bbl 383 Golden Commando engine, the 426 Wedge or 426 Max Wedge. The 1964  413 was a Chrysler or truck engine.

Thanks,
Gary H.
