    1966 Barracuda Grille restoration

    Does anybody know of somebody that does grille restoration? I have a pair of grilles on my 66 Barracuda that could use a good rechroming, as one side has some pitting starting to show. Thanks!

    Value of 8.75 center section?

    I have decided to stick my 8.75 (489 case, with Suregrip) 4.30 geared center section on Craigslist so I can put some money into upgrading my Barracuda's brakes. Anybody have an idea of a good starting asking price for this? The gearset is essentially new, (but been sitting in a cabinet for a few...

    It's "Sideview Monday"!!

    I had a chance to get my newly "put back together" road race '66 Barracuda out to a local car show on Saturday after a month long engine pull project to replace a leaky rear main seal. No oil leaks, (hooray!), but several of the sparkplug wires were not properly pushed all the way down into...

    Distributor repair

    I have a couple of the MP mechanical tach drive electronic distys (PN 4120701) that need repair. One has something wrong with the tach drive mechanism (tach drive rotates freely), and the other has a problem with the mechanical advance mechanism. (doesn't seem to advance correctly). I just put...

    Engine back in car!

    Pretty much finished getting the engine back in the old '66 fish vintage road racer on Friday, after the ordeal of replacing the leaky rear main seal. Also found a small crack in the oil pan, which is now tig welded back together again. What a bear, but hopefully worth it in the end. If the...

    Tapping block for remote filter

    Can anybody provide guidance on the block tapping conversion to use the two 3/8 NPT fittings for a remote filter/cooler install on a MP 340 small block? The two holes are so close to the edge of the filter lip there is no way that neither a straight nor a R/A AN-8 adapter will work without some...

    340 rear main choices- race motor

    My Barracuda vintage race engine (7000 RPM 340 T/A block ) has a leaky rear main seal, so I have it on the engine stand, pan removed and ready to replace. The problem is, what to replace it with? Timkin 5414 from Summit $44.97 (the most expensive, maybe) Felpro BS 40245 from Summit...

    SB rear seal leak question

    OK, Small Blockers, maybe somebody here has a solution for me! A while ago I had a race 340 built for my Barracuda out of the modern 4 bolt main "Resto 340" MP block, and an early style forged crank. My builder told me that the early and later Mopar small blocks and cranks used different...

    Dual belt pulleys on early engine

    Hey SB experts! I have my small block Barracuda race car that uses the old style 273 cast iron water pump (for the "as raced" look), stock (appearing) alt, and stock crank pulley. Because I rev this car up to 7,000 RPM for long periods of time I would like to add a second belt just between the...

    I am looking to show my Barracuda at some Pacific Northwest Mopar (or general, too!) shows this year, while it is still fairly fresh. Any recommended? I live in the Portland, OR area.

    A-body race cars at CPW Spring Fling?

    Just wondering how many other A-body race cars will be at the Spring Fling show in CA on April 5-6? I will be towing my Barracuda down from the Portland, OR area, with a stop to the Thursday track day at Willow Springs put on by Tim at AllTime racing. For the drag types I understand there will...

    Introduction

    This is just a brief introduction for a new member (although several members already know me...). My name is Mike, and I have an addiction. I am addicted to racing my vintage Mopar, just about like everybody else here. I have a 1966 Barracuda Formula S that was converted many years ago (about...
