1965 MMP's Barracuda Hemi swap! The Ever Changing Build
So after some shake down and 1 step forward and 2 back we finally got it right and @seanner now has 4spds shifting and working well. With exception of a nonworking lockup torque converter but that's a problem for another time.
-What we did do was finally started the tear down of the barracuda motor for a mds delete and cam swap. We started later in the day but we were able to tear down the passenger side of the block. Removing the intake, and head. Once that was out we removed the mds liters and then the mds solenoids. These ****** weren't as bad as the internet had me freaking out about. After a slight tap and a quick spin of the solenoid seanner had the damn things pop out in his hand. So we got all 4 out, cleaned the passages and installed the delete plugs. In the next couple days I will work on the driverside of the block but it may take longer than wanted. Unfortunately I found out that I have a total of 3 herniated disc's and one with 2 tears pressing on my right nerves of my right leg. So I'll be going into surgery hopefully soon. This means I be out a few weeks to a few months depending on how they plan on fixing me... BUT I'm a pretty stubborn asshole. So I'll get it done.
Here are some pictures from today.
We also attend the Last Mooneyes Christmas Party at Irwindale Speedway on Saturday. Unfortunately Irwindale Speedway will be closed and torn down. We thrasher Friday night getting a set of wheels n tries as well as lowering and rolling the fender to except the larger 16x7 setup on my son's 62 corvair. The car turned out awesome and was a head Turner. We had so much fun..
