Another Mopar Off My Bucket List - Barracuda Fastback

What is/was the idea when it comes to power plant? It's a drag racing car, right?

I'm not sure. I'd always figured that I'd drop that old Hemi in it and try to keep the build mild so I wouldn't be as likely to scatter things.

- But if my son changes direction on the engine for his Charger that would mean that we've got the makings of a really strong 512. I doubt we'll find anyone that would give us our $$ back on the blower cam/low compression Ross pistons that we have for it. We've constantly bought parts that we never ended up using and always took a loss on them. If I went with the 512 it might be more cost effective and I'd be less afraid to squeeze more power out of it.

- On the other hand, I've always wanted to build a blown Hemi. Either way I'll be running a supercharger. And at least I'll finally be able to clear up some floor space in the garage.
