I have 1.18's in my 66 Barracuda with QA-1 double adjustable. It rides fine..

I have 12:1 forged pistons in my 273 made by CP..

What do you want from the tire? If it's street driving you shouldn't be driving quicker than 115mph or doing anything stupid anyway :). You can get vintage DOT road race tires from Avon, Michelin, Hoosier etc, however they are big $$$ and wear quicker than you can imagine, are terrible when...

I've got an Ebay 26in aluminium radiator on a 12:1 solid roller-cammed 273 and it never gets hot with a plastic flexilite fan. I drive it regularly in heavy weekend traffic and 20 min road race sessions on the track in hot Australian conditions. I know of a few Aussies that swear by this radiator.

The GT 40 had some sort of problem, it's normally a bit quicker than me.. The little 273 holds its own. I'm shifting at just over 7k. The engine makes power at 7400. We have taken some timing out to run on pump gas and it's running block huggers. It's leaving about 70hp on the table. It made...

Tail lights are 66. 64 have round centres..

My Barracuda is set-up for road racing. I could be fun swapping out my big torsion bars and soften up the front shocks etc for a trip to the drags :). The 273 in it now is basically a race motor (over 400hp). Its running a solid roller, EQ Magnum heads 12.1 comp. It doesn't stop me driving on...

In the 90's and while I was building my race motor (360), I ran my dead stock 318, 2 barrel 904 with 3.23's in an Aussie a-body Valiant. it ran a 16.8 We put a 600 Holley on it and a street torker or something and it ran a 15.2 with no other changes. My current 273 should run 12's..
