Got a 67 barracuda, thought It came with a 318. Was planning on a big block swap. Eventually decided to stick with a small block, was gonna stroke the 318......
Found there weren't any 318s in 67 barracudas, it's a 273. Oh well. Back to the big block.

My brother and his family just got done fighting that crap- some got hit hard, some just barely. Can be some nasty stuff.

I had a neighbor who had a 67 Camaro with a 262 sbc in modified production back in the early 70s. That little 262 idled at over 2000 rpm and he ran it to 10 grand.
All that high rpm might be fun but you break a part and you've got garbage...

Oh, I bet I could go without pants there all day long- and I probably wouldn't be the only one.Come, come to Florida…..
Although staying here near the kids and their families as I get older does have its advantages- people to bring me beer, change my diapers and listen to my crazy old stories...
trying not to visualize some of that........

Don't just visualize it- LIVE the dream!
You guys are too much! Thanks for making me feel better!
While we're at this whole 273 vs 318 thing, anyone know what the compression height is on these eBay wonders?
Sealed Power 2260p .030 FORGED PISTON USED 318 MOPAR. QTY 8 W/PINS | eBay
I know the TRW variant of them numbered L2329F is 1.759, I'm guessing these would be the same.
NOTE: I messaged the seller and he measured them at 1.755. I'm contemplating a 360 crank ground down to fit in a 318 with a set of these on full float 273/318 rods right now. Not that it wouldn't be easier to just build a 360. But I've got most of the parts to make that happen more affordably than starting with the 360 I've got right now.
