67 Barracuda Conv

beuatiful car, my other A-body is a 1967 barracuda convertible.

I bought mine in 1984 with the original 273 2 bbl auto powertrain in it. I used for a year or so before tearing it apart and replacing with a 340/727 setup.

Car was great to drive with the big engine, but I really miss getting 20+ mpg in a v-8 powered car like i did with the original 273. I have actually removed the 340 and am installing a 318 2 bbl engine presently. I sort of wish I still had the original 273 that is now long gone.

You should have your engine rebuilt. If you want to take your time, find a deal on a 318, swap that in place of the 273 so you can drive the car while the engine work is being performed. You can usually find 318's for very good price (sometimes even free!) when other people swap them out for larger engines.
