65 barracuda no bottom end need opinions

Mark, save yourself a lot of grief and money and just drop the 360 in there. :) I went through the original 273, then a heated up 318 in my 66 Vart before I finally hit the jackpot and dropped a 360 in there. It's a whole new world out there with that 360. And that 904, if it's built properly, will handle the power of the 360 with no problems. Put a Trans-Go TF-2 shift kit in it and go hunting "the others".
