Another Mopar Off My Bucket List - Barracuda Fastback
Despite the fact I'm still stuck on house building duties I still try to get my hands a little oily whenever I can. Last night my buddy Ray stopped over with a box of parts. We used my press to swap pistons on a set of rods he had. The cylinder wall between his #5 and #7 had cracked on his 440. He was at the strip when he noticed the #7 plug fouling and pulled the head off. After seeing water he had to call it a day and return home. He needed to put together a replacement powerplant quickly to get him back in competition for points. He's deep enough on parts that he won't have to buy another block but the engine going back in will be a conglomeration of used parts from his other motors. -Not enough time for fresh machine work.
