Same bracket as the early (64-66) 273s. That's why there are two sets of holes to mount to the head. You'll notice that the two lower holes are used on the wedge. (This bracket may have been used on 318s and 340s after 66, don't know. Mine is now on the 340 that's in my 65 Barracuda.)

The stock replacement pistons in my 360 are .100 in the hole at TDC.

If anyone's wondering, I ran 13.07 at 105.7. Top end is newer, but the short block was put together in 1990, low-compression cast pistons, .450 lift cam, 3.55 gears. Of course, now I'm thinking, a little more compression, little more cam, hmmm . . . .

No, no pix of that valve from below. But I don't think yours is in the original place - looking at the hook on the mounting bracket, it should poke into a small locating hole in the frame, and I don't see it. And I wouldn't think the factory would have put the valve so close to a 273 manifold...

Trying to get my 67 Barracuda ready to run at the strip this weekend. Will be the first time it's been to a strip in probably 20 years. I replaced the short length of fuel hose that connects the main line to the fuel pickup in the gas tank, and I also added a radiator overflow canister that...

I fit an early 340 exhaust manifold on the driver's side by switching to a power steering column and using an adapter (Firm Feel, etc) to hook it to the manual steering box. That put the joint far enough back to clear the manifold. I ran the outlet pipe between the torsion bar and the frame...

I have TTI's on my 65, doesn't look to me like the master cylinder is any closer to the headers than it was to the 340 manifolds I used to run. I did fabricate new brake lines from the m/c down to the combination valve, which I had to move to the rear to get it out of the way of the headers.

Right, that's why I had to add several washers, to get the sender up high enough to clear the floor of the water passage. I edited my post to clarify that my old intake did not have the boss.

Back in the seventies, I ran a Torker 340 intake. It had no provision for a mechanical temperature gauge. I just drilled and tapped a hole in the intake's water jacket, between the thermostat and the driver's side head - basically where the factory location was, and where Edelbrock puts the...

Back in those days, I-16 was usually just about empty. My Dad was doing 90 or so on I-16 on the way to Macon when a Superbird flew by us like we were sitting still.

I just finished mounting four new trailer tires on my open car hauler. I've mounted car tires before without too much effort, but these just about finished me. I assume because the sidewalls of a trailer tire are a lot stiffer than a passenger car tire. Anyway, next time I'll just pay someone...

One foggy morning in the early 80s, my wife was driving her 82 Charger 2.2 on a country road outside of Monroe, Georgia, when all of a sudden she saw a stop sign right in front of her. She slammed on the brakes, locked the rears up, spun a full 360 degrees across the intersection and came to a...

Three points on your license, max sentence of 12 months in jail and $1,000 fine. The first is automatic, I doubt significant jail time would be imposed, probably a fine, but no where near the max. Of course, an aggravated case and and extensive prior traffic record could and probably would...

Georgia has had this for many years: Code Section 40-6-251 No driver of any motor vehicle shall operate the vehicle upon the public streets, highways, public or private driveways, airport runways, or parking lots in such a manner as to create a danger to persons or property by intentionally...

Ah - forgot the 65 trans took a ball and trunnion front joint. But, yeah. There's also pulleys and brackets. Will the 77 360's pulleys and brackets fit in a 65 Valiant??? Don't know. May well not, especially if the 77 had A/C. Might need to scrounge around a bit to find what you need. And...

If the Charger trans is a 904, probably won't have to clearance the trans tunnel seam. If I remember (???), the 65 center links are the same six or V8. Or is that 66 only?? Will almost surely need a bigger radiator. But the 65 opening is large enough to handle bigger, unlike the opening in...

I'm not sure where +16 comes from. I see a peak hp with manifolds of 328 at 5200, and 349 at 5000 with headers (see dyno sheets at 15:09 and 30.40). That's a 21 peak hp gain. But the gains are throughout the rpm range, not just at peak. Here's what I see headers being worth over the...

In our 67 Barracuda driving from Tallahassee to the Seinyard seafood restaurant outside of Crawfordville.

Picture:

I wonder how well those repaired bolt holes will last. Maybe just crack out around the welds?

Nope. I must have two driver's side covers.

OK, question: My 67 Commando valve covers had the dual wire holders on both sides, and the passenger side had a tube for the canister style pcv, not a grommet for the plug in style pcv. Of course, I might have two driver's side valve covers here. ??

Thanks, I couldn't remember about 66 (and the only 66 Barracuda I've ever owned was a slant six). My 67 was originally a slant six, too, so the ones I had on my 360 it for a while were not the original ones. (In case you're wondering, one valve cover cracked around one of the valve cover...

Well, I used to be young and strong. I could pick up a 440 block, too. But those days are long gone. (I'm 73 now.)

I'm surprised you had a problem with the upper left bolt. On my Barracuda, the upper right one is the most difficult to reach. In fact, it was the bolt that routinely got left off by so-called professional mechanics until I started doing my own mechanical work. Anyway, it took a long...

The 65 valve covers didn't have the small slot between each pair of plug wire holders that were built in to the finned valve cover caps, as you can see on the OP's valve covers (at least on the left side, I can't quite make out the right side). That's because the 65 wires had individual nylon...

You can sand blast the factory manifolds and paint them with Eastwood paint, and after a year or two, they will look like this.
