5.7 L Hemi, ZF 8HP70 Swap
I can tell most of you that I didn't come on this forum to stir things up. I am in my late 40's and just have questions to those who have experience. Yes I am sure I disturbed the purists about my choice. I have no reason to question the idea of keeping things in the true form of Mopar. The last car I did was a 1969 Camaro and I just laid out cash then got in the car and drove away. Well I couldn't really say I did a thing on the car. This time I wanted to build the car from the ground up. I had an opportunity put in front of me in the form of a 68 Cuda. So I took the challenge. The further I get into this project the more I am learning this is not easy. By this I mean finding parts and finding anything in the aftermarket for this year of Barracuda. Maybe the LS is the easy route. But after more research into the swap it just looks like a problem. So I have decided to have the 360 built and put fuel injection on for a power plant. Then use a T-56 trans because I can get the things I need to make the swap just a little easier.
I doesn't seem to matter how I say it or how I put it to the forum I get barked at. Well I apologize for those who are sensitive. I am just trying to think outside the box and to be creative. Isn't this why we all build and play with our cars? To show some of ourselves in the creation. To be proud of what we accomplished with our own two hands.
Thank you for the information I hope in the future with questions I may have they will be taken through creativity and not sarcasm for the true accomplishment. A fun car that will drive like hell!
