Questions Regarding 383 Barracuda Engine Compartment
My 68 has a 451 stroker (400 block) with the Borgenson power steering . The car also had a Vintage Air system which I removed (muscle cars don't have air) Even being a black on black car. As stated earlier the wing windows open keeps the cabin surprisingly cool. As for handing I don't notice much of a difference between the big block car and my previous 340 car. I'd say the extra weight is a non-issue. My big block has aluminum heads and intake plus TTI headers which saves a lot of weight over cast iron.
