And most of us wouldn't do any of that...aside from worrying about COST. I personally would never use a glide.. I like my transmissions to stay together for a full season, not after a few passes. and I darn sure wouldn't use a chevrolet connecting rod.Why would I? Chrysler based connecting rods are superior, from rod length to structure, to the grade of metal used..An LA connecting rod big end is as beefy as a big block chevrolet connecting rod (exotic aftermarket pieces aside).Period.just saying. In the short time here I figured this would be a like an internet sanctuary for chrysler guys, seeing as I myself have to listen to chevrolet this and chevrolet that non stop... not to mention at the track. Now here too?! haha.. oh well.
At anyrate, good luck.geta set of chrysler hedders for your barracuda and reflange them for the chevrolet.Else, mabey you should try a chevrolet site, they always like it when guys put chevrolet motors in other manufacturers cars.. definately is alot cheaper.
ps: Wasn't trying to be a big ol' meanie, but... guys putting a chevrolet in one of the most infamous mopars ever... blasphemy.
