    SBC SWAP IN A 64 BARRACUDA?

    Thanks for all the advice. I ended up getting a 360 and putting it in the 64 Cuda. Should make a good grocery getter for the wife.

    What are the stock lug dimentions of a 64 Barracuda? Are they 5 x 4? and do adapters work to change them to a 5 x 4.5?

    Trying to weld, I’m terrible!

    Looks like you're trying to run a continuous bead. Running a contunuous bead will not work. Too much head gererated so warping is a problem. What I would do is find a tig welder for rent and practice. If you must use a mig, approach it as a whole bunch af good, solid tack welds...start at one...

    Looking at, evaluating and pricing a project car.

    I know what you mean...my 64 was 4K as a roller! It's currently getting a 360 and 4 speed for just over 2K so 6K and it still needs an interior and paint. I'll Easily have 15K by christmas and it'll be worth around 14. Lol, I never expect to make a profit, I just love the build process!

    What’s the attraction?

    Yeah, I hear ya. It's my Wife's favorite car so...I'm building one. I've learned to love it only because she does. Luckily, JD, a member here came up with almost eveything I needed to get this roller on the road. I'll try to remember to post a pic when I get it done. I built my favorite car so...

    SBC SWAP IN A 64 BARRACUDA?

    I've heard many viewpoints, most of them helpful. I'm no longer interested in attempting the Chevy swap although it would have been alot easier than most of you think... I understand now I should build a 9" if I beat on it with 5500 RPM launches off the transbrake. Like I said in my original...

    SBC SWAP IN A 64 BARRACUDA?

    Hahahaha...GREAT POST. Thanks, I love it! But really, SBC's swap into anything and behave accordingly. Besides, it's all I have. I'd love to put in a small desoto hemi or even a 273 but it's not cost effective. I can't find a 273 and 4 speed for a resonable price. Better to use what I have and...

    SBC SWAP IN A 64 BARRACUDA?

    Looking to graft a 64 Barracuda to a 68 corvette frame 1st, then install a 350 SBC and M21 4 speed. It's a FI unit, roller, 450+ HP. Will the 8.75/3.55 rear hold up with 15×29" drag radials? Has anyone attempted a swap like this?

    New here and looking for advice with my setup.

    I don't have any advice except keep that car in the family. What a gorgeous vehicle! Can you imagine the pride your grandkid or great grandkid would have driving it? What a gem...
