1965 MMP's Barracuda Hemi swap! The Ever Changing Build
Oh my...
This weekend was a doosy. I'll be 100% honest when I say I never thought or accounted for the issue I had this weekend. But as Duane Mayer told me while working at American hot rod "Modified cars need modifying" well Duh... on me..
So I got all the parts in I was waiting for except i forgot to order the efi style fuel filter.. Which I just now ordered because I forgot!
So Saturday night I feeling good and happy prep the tank for install, built the wiring pigtail had it installed, installed the fuel fittings and hose lines. Even opened a thread in the fuel system forum asking about the breather line and if I should run 1 or all three.. lol got that sorted and was ready to install the tank.. wohoo!
Sunday in a good mood laying on my back ready to install this beautiful tank next to this beautiful IRS rear end... Big Smiles
NOTHING FIT....! :BangHead:
:poke: I never not once took into account the size of the diff housing how much larger it was to the 8 1/4 I pulled out. Or the fact that the inboard brakes were "in board" ha Dummy.. Oh and what about those monster coil overs holding that damn rearend off the ground.....!
Nope never once thought :rolleyes: Hey I should check this.... This is about the time Duane would be throwing the paper towel roll at me... :soapbox:
So I had to do some modification to stuff... Thankfully I was able to do it with out modding the rearend
All I needed was 1.25" to fit... I got 4.25" give me with flex little more that 2 full inches....
