I'd like to learn something too. Cause I'm not a carb guy by any stretch.

I also thought and have read that less is more when it comes to Carb cfm and tunnel rams, but I may be mistaken. There are so many different opinions on carb choice especially when it comes to tunnel rams. And when on a budget there are even more. bought the 450's off eBay and they will probably...

I have been looking for a pare for about 1 1/2 years. but didn't find any locally until now. Others I did find were like $1200 and up, some ready to bolt on and go. But finding these for under $1000 I thought was just short of a Miracle! I know I have to put a little more into them but I can do...

Here are the pictures

Thanks, makes me feel better. I don't usually bring that kind of money to the swap meet, so I put a deposit down and had to come back later with the rest and pick them up.

270cfm would be Ideal for me, it could get me right in the ballpark of 500+ HP.

Thanks for the info.

That is good to know, another piece of the puzzle. I had been looking for a set for some time now. didn't think I would find them in a swap meet. Don't have the budget for aluminum heads but didn't want to settle for stock either.

I will post picts when I get home from work.

The biggest I have right now are Holley 600's with mechanical secondaries and manual chokes.

Were they a good score for $900?

They have the LA intake pattern.

My plan is 10.5-1 compression and the Comp Cams big Mutha Thumpr hyd roller cam. Duration intake 243@50, Exhaust 257@50, lift intake .533, exhaust .519. LSA 107. with 1.6 roller rockers = intake .568 and exhaust .553. KB flat top pistons, a tunnel ram manifold and either 2 x 450cfm - 2 x 600cfm...

I just scored a pare of Dodge Magnum EQ heads New Zealand castings at a local swap meet here in AZ. the bowls are cut for a 1.62" exhaust valve and a 2.02 intake valve. They are brand new bare assemblies still in the boxes and were stapled shut. They have a website on the box but I can't get to...

That being true, I defiantly have to check the numbers on that tail housing to see what year it came from. Considering I got it from the local swap meet for $20, I'd say it was a good deal.

I have a small cheap mig welder that I use for light home and sheet metal repairs. But I'm not a very good welder and wouldn't trust my welding where structure is concerned, especially where a lot of torque and horsepower is going to be applied. So, there is a fabrication shop not even a mile...

I do have an A body slip yoke tail housing, I would just have to get an A body tail shaft for it. I've never taken a manual transmission apart, or the gears off of the shafts before. Would an A body tail housing fit on a B body transmission?

Have not purchased on yet, but I have been looking and there are only a couple that will fit.

That is a Given! my friend.

It will mostly be a street car but will make a few fun passes now and then. I don't have the budget to be competitive and always breaking something. I'm building an engine to produce right around 500hp give or take a little. What I'm building is a 60's style street gasser. My street tires are...

I have thought about sub frame connectors, and probably will have them welded in. I also am going with a set of traction bars, 60's style.

I have not perchased the u joints yet or the drive shaft. The clutch assy. is sfi certified, and a jriveshaft loop is in the frame. Forgot to metion the 3.73 gears with 275/60-15's and 28x10.5 tires. What size U joint and jriveshaft would you recomend?

I have a 65 Barracuda in the build stage. SS springs, 8.75 with a spool and 35 sline axles. I have a 65 B body A833 4 spd. with a trunnion to U joint adapter, scatter shield, hyd. clutch fork ram, Mcleod flywheel and clutch assy., behind a potent 360. Where is the weak point in your opinion.

I was told that the 65 and 66 seats were different. The 66 seats are narrower than the 65 seats, because of the console. I am putting a 66 console in my 65 barracuda and wouold like to use my 65 seats. would they fit? Or are the 65 seats to wide. Does anyone have any experience with this type of...

I'm with Rusty Rat Rod. They can work really well if they are the correct length, and the snubbers adjusted correctly. They are not just for Chebby's and Fowds, they are for leaf spring cars period. And if you can't afford new set of SS springs, Mono Leafs, and Caltracs bars, adjustable pinion...

Just finished cutting out the automatic gear select area and fitted the 4 speed shift boot. next I need to sand the silver and re-spray it. Then I'll need to fiind some chrome trim to put around the shift boot, so it will look somewhat factory.

Off the subject, I also painted my inner fender wells and frame rails and bought some new spring hangers.

Just painted my center console and set the top plates in. It used to be a faded green. Now I have to take the measurements to cut the automatic shift slots out and fit the 4spd boot. it's small but it's progress.

Thanks for the info Murray / Syleng1, the car is more of a street car, mostly, I don't have the budget to be thrashing, braking and replacing. Some of the parts in the build are not of constant racing grade. I just really like the 60's gasser look. It will see some track time but I doubt it will...

I'm swapping my automatic to a 4spd. Question? If I put a center console in my car, do I still need the floor tunnel? Or is the console enouth to cover the cut out in the floor for the shifter. Guess now that I think about it, my question should be, does a 66 barracuda have a floor tunnel for...
