1968 Barracuda / Hellcat Redeye swap project

If I was doing that swap I would use an aftermarket k-frame. I don't believe a factory k-frame and torsion bars can handle it. We did a 5.7 and a 6.1 swap with a kenne-bell and even did a Gen II Hemi and all three used aftermarket k-frames. I think you are in for a world of hurt if you stay with factory parts..

Hmmm, many SS/AA and A and B/MP A-bodies back in the day at 700, 750, 800 hp would debunk that thought.

Todays SS/AH cars still have torsion bars and braced steering boxes, right? Yes, they have notched and boxed K members, but that’s for oil pan removal more than anything. 8.30’s @ 160+ speaks for itself.

I don’t care how much hellcat/redeye you throw at it, it won’t be as violent as todays hemi SS cars.
