    Flaming River Power to Manual Adaptor

    I bolted in a manual steering box last night in the 69. When I was tapping the shaft down, my vise grips slipped, and I hit the joint, causing it to fly into a few pieces. I also found out that the splines are bigger on the manual box. So, I gotta buy a new joint. My question, should I get...

    360 Already Bored .030

    My '72 360 has already been bored .030, and there's a bit of a ridge in the cylinders. It was rebuilt stock many years ago. Would it be safe to bore it another .010? Bummer is, I already bought a set of .030 over KB191's for it, and I'm concerned putting them in with the ridge there.

    Buy New or Buy a Parts Car

    I came across a 72 Dart 2-dr slant 6 auto parts car I can get for around a grand. It's complete, motor, trans, and it runs. Im thinking of converting my 69 Cuda to street duty, so I'll need the heater box, ducting, some wiring, ect. I might use some interior pieces too, if anything fits...

    May Sell at Mopar Nats

    I'm decideing whether or not to take my 69 notchback to the Mopar Nats and sell it. I just have too much going on, and it's gonna be another 5-10 years before I get to it. I don't think this car deserves to sit that long. It's already sat since the late 80's, that I know of. Decisions...

    How To Remove Recent Welding

    What's the best way to remove a recently welded panel without destroying the metal underneath? I had my trans tunnel welded in yesterday, but he didn't measure correctly and it's way off. He used flux core wire and welded a solid bead all around the edges. I have a feeling I'll have to cut...

    '72 Dart Windshield Trim On a Cuda

    I'm cuious if anyone else has tried this. I had some windshield trim left over from a '72 Dart I parted out. Just for the heck of it, I put the front windshield trim on my '69 Cuda, and it fit!! Taking it on and off a few times I ended up creasing the top molding. If this works, maybe I...

    KB191's In A Stock Motor

    I might be working out a deal on a 383 for my cuda. So, I thought I would throw my 360 together and sell it. My question: How well would a 360 run with stock rotating assembly, KB191's, stock smog heads, and a really mild cam? Would I need to worry about the compression being too high? With...

    Why Low Numbers in 1969?

    I was looking at the articles and read that in '69 there were only 7569 Barracuda V8 hardtops built, and 11,000 fastbacks. Other years had significantly higher numbers. What happened in '69? Was it the major design change? I'm just curious, as I own a '69 hardtop (High Class) V8.

    Swirl Port or 4051's

    Saw a local ad for a pair of 308 swirl port heads, bare castings, checked for cracks. He wants $200 for them. Will they perform any better on my 360 drag motor or should I stick with my 4051's? Motor is a 360 LA.

    Using a Name in The Racing Business

    I'm curious. When I was racing in the 80's and 90's, I registered my racing as a non-profit business. Does anyone still do that? I raced a '67 Camaro at US131 and Mid-Michigan Motorplex under "Camaro Fever Racing." It was lettered on the car like they did in the 60's. It was registered...

    Question on Cages

    I had a buddy looking over my 'cuda and he seems to think my car won't pass tech with the current roll bar setup it has. I'll admit the roll bar is probably 20 years old, since that's how long it's been sitting in the barn. How much change has there been in 20 years? Anyone know the current...

    Found a 383

    I found a complete 383/727 combo, running, in a '69 New Yorker. It's a 2bbl motor. He's asking $900 for the whole car. Is it worth buying for the drivetrain?

    KB 191's And a 1051 Head

    I'm getting ready to hang my KB 191's on my rods. It's a .030 over 360 with I'm sure no deck shaving. Will I run into any issues running those pistons with my current 1051 heads? I'd love to buy a set of X or J heads, or even aftermarket heads, but I just don't have $1500 to spend right now...

    Matte Finish Paint

    It has crossed my mind to paint my '69 'Cuda a flat or matte finish. It was originally red, and I'd like to stick with that general color. Anyone have any pics of a Cuda in a matte finish? Besides grey primer? It's a drag car, so I'm not worried about a perfect paint job. :burnout:

    Mountain Bike Riders, Question

    I wanna get me a new bike for exercise. I'm 6', 265lb, and need to lose about 40lb. My last mountain bike lasted almost 25 years (Huffy). I sold it at my last garage sale and it still rode good. I like mountain bikes due to their versatility. What bike should I consider? I will do mostly...

    Anyone Use KB109's With Stock Heads

    Just wondered if anyone has used the KB 109 popup pistons with stock smog heads. Mine are the 4051 heads, going on a 1972 360 block with stock crank/rods. Thinking of having the heads ported, cleaned up and milled for better springs and adjustable valvetrain. I don't have cash for a $2K set...

    Aarrggh!! Money Woes!!

    Looks like the 'cuda gets put on the back burner again. The house needs some repairs, the garage needs a new roof and I need to add on to my barn. I'm beginning to think that car is gonna sit another 20 years before I can get to it. It may end up being my retirement project!!

    Got Chewed Out Today

    I was talking to some guys earlier this week and we got on the subject of new vehicles. They talked about the new models and how they'd like to buy this or that. Then I chimed in. I told them that I will never, in my lifetime, buy a new car. It's too expensive, depreciates too fast, the...

    360 or 383?

    I've started gathering parts for my 360 build. I have a set of domed pistons, a set of J heads coming and a fresh block. I haven't decided on a cam yet. My dilemma. I found a guy that has a 1966 383 big block, complete from carb to oil pan, with a 727 trans, fairly cheap. This is strictly...

    Question On Piston/Head Combo

    I picked up a set of KB191 pistons for my 360 at the Indy swap meet. The guy told me he had a .560 cam, stock smog heads and with these pistons he had over 12.1/1 compression and made tons of power. He said the stock heads didn't hurt power at all. I tend to disagree with that. I have a set...
