5.2 in a 68 Barracuda

I may just buy the whole Jeep (what's left of it) and start hunting for a b-body to fix up. For some reason I've gotten an itch to put a Magnum/EFI and overdrive trans into a b-body. Maybe a 71-73 Roadrunner or Charger. I can't afford the earlier B's!

First, gotta get my little fish going!

That'd be pretty cool.

Because of the aftermarket for Jeeps the screwball OBD-II V8 ZJ axle isn't that huge of a dealbreaker to consider. Should be a 3.73 LSD. Don't think the traction unit in those was as good as the one that replaced them though. But a bolt-in LSD upgrade rearend for one of those shouldn't hurt leaving your possession either. (early ones and the 6cyls came with 35s in most cases)
