Trans-Am info for the 1966 Barracuda
A few months back, one of the Mopar magizines did an interview with Bob Terrozzi which ranged from Nascar to Drag to Trans-Am stuff as he was involved with it all. He's obviously still alive & if I was that comitted to the project, I'd be hunting him down. Another possibility is to look for some lesser-known, yet still knowledgable guys from back then. There was a guy herein town that worked for Mopar & had some very strange pieces he claimed he got while working in Detriot. HUGE ported smallblock heads that had old casting numbers on them, odd, alloy stuff that I never saw before, that sort of thing.
If it were me, & given the "loose" interpretation of the rules, I'd build a stroker smallblock with a block "lightened" by way of grinding at the exterior (elininates all casting numbers):D and try running that. Acid ported heads, odd firing engines, hidden fuel tanks, hidden nitrous & ridiculously lightened parts are all in that infamous "gray area" that, in talking to a former Penske team memeber from back than were all done that were just looked at as acceptable modifications (until you were caught :D)
