Jeep 4.0 in 69 Barracuda
Now to what we have been waiting for, not that its all exciting as I am sure everyone has seen a 69 Barracuda.
But what I am excited about is the condition of the shell. The floor boards are in great shape...
So here is a shot of the Engine which will be going in. For those who know jeeps, they will be squirming as they notice the tranny which is attached. Its a BA-5 (or 10 don't recall) which is not sought after. In most cases it becomes a boat anchor. I suspect that since this is not a jeep and not going to be seeing the same stresses as a jeep, that it may be Ok. And more so, I will bring better pictures of the tranny, you will notice how small it is. So much that it looks like I can install it with out opening up the trans tunnel. Ignore the wiring, that's out of a 88 Cherokee which had a Renix fuel injection. That whole setup is being removed in favor of the YJ era Wrangler H.O. fuel injection setup.
A simple picture of the front end of the car. Notice that I have a 67/68 hood. I was not all that happy with the 69 front end and was lucky enough to get my hands on the 67/68 hood and grills from the prior owner who sold it to me.
And here is a clean picture from the rear passenger corner
