1967, 1968, 1969 Barracuda, Formula S, hood inserts, louvers. These are in good used condition with minor pitting and significant paint loss. They are in very restorable condition. One mounting post is missing but should not effect performance. The gaskets are in poor condition and need...

I run a similar setup 340/904 with Hughes 3500 converter. I run a 7000 rpm pill in my MSD box. As you've probably just read, at 5500 the party's just getting started 8) I actually advanced my cam centerline to get some rev's out of my motor. It really woke it up. I run a stock "J" head...
