Been lurking here for years, but never posted til today. Had my basket case 67 Barracuda since 1996. Painted and on the road in 1998. Ran a pump gas 408 with Indy heads to a best of 10.38@130. A rebuild to the 408 bumping compression to 13.5: and maxing out heads was run on the dyno where it ended in an ugly pile of parts. #8 rod locked up and destroyed just about everything in the 360 block breaking the oil pump and cracking the rear main cap.
Last year i decided to put together a 400 block i had laying around. I'm guessing 100lbf tq and 100hp better than the pump gas 408. So, i will be hanging here more often from this point on. Thanks
