Another Mopar Off My Bucket List - Barracuda Fastback
Thanks dartcharger. We got the heads and intake installed yesterday but we still have to put the headers on. With the garage packed full of parts we don't have any room to get the Roadrunner inside. We're performing all the work out in the driveway. Today's forecast is for rain so we may have to postpone progress a day.
I hate header installation. A few of the header bolts are going to be a real b!tch to get in. Even when we mocked up the attachment of the headers onto the heads off the car it seemed near impossible. I'm dreading the fight to get them bolted up. I'd 'borrowed' the Charger's MSD mini starter for my Barracuda and haven't gotten my son a replacement yet so we're going to keep the full sized one that's already in the car. I'm betting I'll be kicking myself before we're done.
The best thing about doing all these parts swap on the Roadrunner is that everything on the car is relatively fresh. - No rusted fasteners and not a lot of crud and grease to contend with. I've still got to chop off the exhaust pipes to give us room for the headers. I'll take some measurements before I do and hope we'll be able to tie back in when we're done. I sure wish we had a lift.
