Do what OMM told you to do. Use a 4” die and punch. I have used them before, but at the 2” diameter. It cuts a clean hole, quickly, way cleaner than having it lazer cut and there is virtually no heat involved. You just drill a hole center location and mount die on the underside of hood with...

If your looking for new aftermarket parts, 440. Still a good selection somewhat reasonably priced. 318 cheap, but aftermarket parts are getting less and less. 360 about the same as 318. Magnum not much I know about. 340?, forget about it unless you got deep pockets. Gen III hemi, all the rage...

Very cool.

Whatever the fit is, keep in mind that the collector has a ball for a socket hookup to exhaust pipe. Rarely do muffler shops have a die to swage a 3 inch socket.

Very cool.

While their springs are generally a good idea, they want to sell you their whole valve train as they say it matches, well I dont like their lifters. They make a big deal about spring wire lock rings failing and use stamped lock rings which they say are bulletproof. Well show me the data where...

Think about it, who would want it but you(you think right now)? Think about all the guys that turned their nose up at a sleeved 340 or 383 block, even if it was done properly and even really well.

Everything depends on what cam you are using. Hughes sells quality products, but they will try to sell you more than you need or want. Why don’t you buy the recommended parts from the cam manufacturer. Your unlikely to find a bunch of silver bullets mixing and matching unless you have boat...

Were you happy with it before it got tired? If so just go stock.

In NASCAR they say if you don’t cheat, you don’t want to win enough.

How much were you asking for the car? Does it have front disc brakes?

Dig that fly eye air cleaner. Don’t see too many of them around anymore and when you do they are expensive.

Damn biggest chain saw ever.

Wow. Details please.

I have 30x40, not enough room. At this point I wouldn’t consider smaller than 40x50. I’d probably outgrow that as well.

That’s crisp. Good tune.

I believe it’s easiest to remove dash and you will have access to the speaker. I never measured one but I believe its 6”x 3”. There used to be places that repaired speakers, but I haven’t seen ads for that lately.

What year and model car?

I’ve sold and shipped car hoods and doors through Fastenal 3rd party shipping, but they stopped shipping east of the Mississippi. It’s not all that cheap but it was reliable and safe and not really stupid expensive. Don’t know if greyhound still ships. I just buy dunnage lumber from fleetfarm or...

Although these may look good.

It’s probably just me, but I’d keep the bench so I could get my arm around my girl and modern car seats just don’t look right in a 60’s car.

Cool!

All it takes is a guy like lee Iacocca.

Hard to tell in those pictures. You definitely need to make sure the deck is flat and clean out the tapped holes.

Soak the coolant up with paper towels the best you can. Leave the carbon be. Can you see cross hatching from honing in the cylinders? How many miles on that engine?

So then you may well be on the right track. I’m not well versed in pre 69 tags, so I didn’t know by looking at it or did I look at it real closely either. I wish well and good luck with your journey.

Thats quite a bit of detective work. One thing I’m confused about is the fender tag you state is for a hardtop which I have come to know as a notch barracuda and the cars pictured and as far as I know all Hemi barracudas were fastbacks.

Total cleanup and check block for flatness. Take the head to the machine shop and have cleaned, flatness checked and get a valve job. Check spring pressures and valve guides.

For all the trouble and price those Doug’s and TTI’s look nice.

Actually I would like to see more of that car.
