Well, I'm glad I posted. A member on this forum who lives about 4 hours away sent me a pm. He has a complete '69 motor that was pulled some years back. The price was reasonable so it worked out. I just need the block but hey, who know's what I'll find once I tear mine down.

i know the feeling. check my post from a couple of days ago!

Didn't the poly's end by '68?

I'm in South Florida. Summer is when I don't drive the car. Timing is good so I can get it ready for winter. Don't think JB weld would hold for too long anyhow.. Thanks for all the info guys! This helps a lot. Now hopefully the teardown doesn't reveal any surprises. Coolant doesn't lubricate...

Nope, pressurized the cooling system and it lost 1/2 psi overnight. With the valve cover off, looking through the opening in the head that goes to the lifter valley, I can actually see a drop form and roll down about every 5 seconds. I had to sleeve #3 cylinder 17 years ago for a pinhole as...

Short story, I have a pinhole in #8 cylinder water jacket going into the lifter valley. Coolant is getting into the oil. I've decided to replace the block. I don't trust trying to do a repair on this. Question is what year 318 blocks will interchange in the sense of re-using my heads, crank...

I guess the barracuda's were different. The metal part of my dash was original and was defintely not a textured finish. You learn something new every day!

Depends on the insurance company he has. If he has a collector car insurance company, then there is an agreed value on the car and they will repair without totaling the car. I feel for you. In 2005 I was rear ended in my '69 cougar. I got stuck behind an idiot not going when the light turned...

I painted mine semi gloss black and it seems match the original color.

66Dvert, yes I did think of doing the slimline thing. I think Old Air products makes one. I would rather buy a kit instead of buying the evap and then having to piece together the compressor/dryer/condenser/lines/brackes, etc, you get the idea. I'm just hesitant as to how well they work. I live...

I think he's asking anout an under dash unit, not one where you replace your heater box. I was thinking of doing the same thing on mine since I didn't want to lose my fresh air vents. Still thinking about it. Vintage makes one and so does Old Air Products. Not sure if they fit, especially with a...

Happy Canada day guys from a Dual Citizen. Dad was American, mom Canadian and part American Indian. Have lived in both countries and it's nice in both places.:toothy7:

I'm thinking of adding a/c to my '69 barracuda but want to keep the right side fresh air vent for when it's warm out but don't want to put the air on. With vintage and classic, you block off the cowl vent. Old Air Products' evap box seems small enough to where I could fit it in and then...

you state it has not run in 25 years? If water was left in the cooling system, the water pump is disintegrated and the cooling passages in the head as well as the block are rusted and most likely have scaling rust blocking passages. Was the system flushed out before you tried to run it? If so...

there should be 4 pictures I hope

ok, let me try this for pictures. don't know how to insert a pic. MVC-017S | Flickr - Photo Sharing!

Been thinking of adding a classic auto air a/c system to the barracuda. The thing that's holding me back, as crazy as this sounds, is the fact that I lose the right side fresh air vent. My question to those who have added this system to their car is, 'do you ever miss not having the vent?' I...

Recently stumbled on this site, like it! My car? Bought in 2001, only had one maaco paint job in it's life, engine never apart, bone stock, bought off 75 year old guy (not the original owner), spent next two years restoring it. '69 Barracuda convertible, 318, 2 bbl, (yes 2bbl), auto, p/s...
