1966 Barracuda "car ****"

Here we go again.
After checking the old original 273cui 180hp engine, I looked out for an option and found - here in Switzerland - a 1967 commando version with the high compression ratio 10.5:1. The engine was declared to come out of a 1967 Barracuda and was standing in a dry place for about 15 years. We looked inside with a periscop-light and could see rust on some of the cylinders. But the vision was born: Conversion of the "standard Barracuda" to a "Formula S-Version". So I took this engine home, took it apart and brought the block and the parts to the machinist. Again: oversize bore 0.30, new camshaft, heads with oversize valve-stems...but: crankshaft was almost ok (there will be some work on the thrust-bearing part). Luckily I found a very good friend through the forum :cheers:, who gave me good advice on how things should be on these mopars. Meanwhile, I started ordering parts like carpet-set and quarter patch panel, floor panel,smaller parts and - of course - engine parts. Not very easy to get high compression pistons b.t.w.
