Questions Regarding 383 Barracuda Engine Compartment

FYI;
My alloy-headed 367, 68 Barracuda only needs a lil over a hundred pounds moved to the back to be near 50/50 weight bias. But I am not giving up my P/S, nor my P/B
I have modded my box several times to the point which, it now feels like a slightly assisted manual box, but as you know, the P/S box is a 15 and change to 1 ratio, versus the 24:1 manual box.
This means that, the many times that I have got myself into trouble, the fast easy steer P/S, has saved my bacon. and
that means I confidently do more stupid stuff.

My car used to have a manual steering box, and a monster factory steering wheel, and I'm never going back to it.
And I can't tell you how much fun, slow-motion, tires on fire, and one-handed figure-eights are ...... with my fat-rimmed tiny steering wheel ......

I have had all-drum A's, with and without boost, and I ain't going back to that either. and
I had one db/no booster A, and no thanks.
I put boosters on everything, then fine tune them to perform how I want them to.

But I gotta tell ya, 67-8-9 Barracuda rear wheelhouses will accept up to 325/50-15s on 10s with minor mods and centering, but will require some caution during cornering depending on your ride-height. I run 295s so I can and do, corner with confidence. I mean, I'm a streeter, so this sometimes involves screaming tires and full-lock steering, just to not wipe out. I hate wiping out. My car used to wipe out all the time. But I just kept putting bigger and bigger tires on it until it behaved.
Therefore; tires are your first defense against crashing. Well no, leaving the car in the garage is the first ....... lol.
I finished my restomod, just in time for my son's Graduation, and shortly after him getting a driver's license. He took that "new" car to grad, with friends, and I never lost a second of sleep over it, cuz, that car knew how to protect itself. It steered where it was pointed, stopped on a dime, and if you got yourself crossed up, just clutch it, and she would straighten herself right out. My son and his friends had a blast, and twenty years later, I am still hearing new stories from both..

May you and yours enjoy your car in the same way.
