Trans-Am info for the 1966 Barracuda
HI Chris,
I'm currently preparing a Dart '65 to '66 FIA group 2 specs, which is basically the same as the early Trans Am. It's got 273, A-833 and 8.25 with 3.91:1 ratio and LSD. The suspension springs are from FFI and shocks are Konis. Front brakes are the homologated KH discs and rears are standard 10" drums. Wheels are 15" x 7".
I'm a bit in the same situation that I've been road racing other cars for 20 years, but haven't any experience of this kind of beast.
The plan is to get the car to somewhat driveable condition for the next summer. It'll be interesting to see how it behaves.
I'm looking forward to see how your Barracuda proceeds.
Regards,
Jari from Finland
