    [WANTED] STR12 Cross Ram

    Anyone have an STR12 intake manifold to sell? I'm willing to pay good money for an example in the right condition but you'd need to be willing to ship it overseas to Australia.

    [WANTED] A body power steering shaft

    Anyone have an A body power steering shaft they want to sell? I only need the steering shaft itself with the steering wheel mounting nut and bottom coupling pin (not the coupling itself just the pin). My car is a '68 but I assume all A body steering shafts for various years will be the same. I'm...

    Hydraulic roller cam valvetrain woes

    Hello All, Been a member here for many years but it's been a long time since I posted. I have a stroked '89 360 roller cam engine which was rebuilt by an engine builder who is now interstate from me (I've moved). I've had nothing but problems with the engine so far - it's been installed and run...

    Cragar rims - brake clearance issues

    Hello All, It's been a long time since I've posted here. To cut a long story short I've been separated from my '68 Barracuda for the past 4 years (after moving for work and having to leave the car behind) but in the past week we've been reunited :) So I'm busying myself ironing out a few bugs...

    '68 Barracuda nearing completion

    just a few pics of the exhaust and underside of my '68 as the car nears completion. It's been a labour of love for the past ten years. In the last 3 years the car has been living away from me in Sydney after I moved a couple of thousand mils way for work, and I have seen it 2 times since then...

    Hello all, been a while since I have posted. My '68 cuda is near completion and I've an AAR bolt on hood to put on it. I bought a set of the low tension springs a couple of years back from someone here but I've since lost them so need another pair. Can anyone point me in the right direction...

    68 wiper arms

    I'll be needing some new wiper arms for my 68 barracuda FB. The ones I have seen on the net so far are finished in a flat silver. Is this correct? Did any 68 wiper arms come in polished stainless finish (as I believe 2nd generation cudas had), which I would prefer. Cheers

    SB fabricated alum. valve covers

    Anyone know a place that makes fabricated valve covers in the same style as these Moroso covers? Specifically the taller 'square shouldered' type, that make the valve covers look wider and beafier across the top. All the fabbed valve covers I have seen elsewhere taper inwards at the top, making...

    Roller cam block - use flat tappet cam

    I have a pre-magnum roller cam 360 block which I am using for a stroker build. I already have a new XE274H hydraulic flat tappet cam and don't want to invest the extra money in a roller cam as my coin would be better spent on a porting job on the Eddy heads. Quick question - can I use the flat...

    4 Bolt main Caps

    I'm putting together a 408 stroker for my cuda. Just wondering whether I should seriously consider upgrading to 4 bolt main caps as added insurance. What have others done in their builds? Will the factory 2 bolt mains be more than adequate to handle the extra power the engine will dish out?

    Mopar Performance "Competition" Leaf Springs

    Anyone use these springs (P4120863 right, P4120864 left)? Are they super stock springs, if so how much lift do they provide in the rear over stock HD springs (which I have now)? I want to get the arse of my 68 up in the air just a little more (and use even larger (bias ply, MTs or Pro Trac)...

    US A Body steering shaft

    Hey all, Can anyone provide some pics of an A body steering shaft? In my 68 cuda I'm using an Australian A body steering shaft which is modified with a female splined end to accept a brand X intermediate shaft coupling. I'm running this with my right hand drive rack and pinion set up. I had...

    Can this be repaired?

    I managed to crack the block on my 360 trying to remove the factory fitted upper oil galley plug (the idea being to install fittings directly into the block and do away with the factory oil line adaptor plate). The plug was in there so tight that burred the square allen head on the plug and...

    Front sway bar - size?

    What's the optimum diameter for an A body front sway bar? I can pick a used one up here for my 68, it's 31mm or 1.22 inches. Would that be about right?

    Drum brake auto adjuster - what am I missing here?

    Just putting my 11 x 2.5 inch drums together, thought I had everything I need, but have hit a snag with the auto adjusting set-up. I cant work out how the adjuster "cam" can be made to sit tight on the adjuster star wheel - see pic below in the area where the screwdriver is positioned - I must...

    Green bearings and inner seals

    I'm about to install new axles in my shortened 8 3/4 housing. The axles have the Green bearings installed. Notwithstanding the Green bearings are already seald I know that some still use the inner seals with them for added insurance against leaks (Dr. Diff suggested I do the same), but I dont...

    67-69 cuda front bumper

    just curious as to whether anyone here has done some custom work on the 67-69 cuda front bumper. It seems a relatively bulky bumper for the style of the car (compare a camaro or mustang bumper of same era). I've already enlarged the number plate opening to accommodate the longer (and narrower)...

    Driveshaft - 904 to A833 and 8 3/4

    My cuda originally had a 904 with a 7 1/4 differential. I've changed to an A833 with an 8 3/4. Will my original driveshaft interchange with this new combo, length wise?

    A833 lubrication

    Pardon the dumb question, but what's the best lubricant to use in an A833? I've done some reading on this but there is a lot of difference of opinion regarding use of ATF, synthetics, gear oil and the like. It's all very confusing. Frank Adkins in his Chrysler Performance book suggests motor...

    I'm cobbling together the parts I need for drum brakes on my 8 3/4 axle. Already bought a pair of 11 x 2.5 finned drums through rockauto and now looking for wheel cylinders. I see on Rich Ehrenberg's Ebay store that he's selling pairs of 10-11 inch drum brake wheel cylinders for nearly $40...

    Finned 10 inch drums?

    Is there such a thing as finned 10 inch drums? I know there are finned 11 inch drums, I'm seeing them everywhere. Before I go ahead and purchase new 11 inch drums (already have 11 inch backing plates) I'd like to know whether new 10 inch finned are available as 11 inch drums are probably...

    Drum brake backing plates

    I have some drum brake backing plates for my 8 3/4, but no brake drums. The backing plates measure 12" in diameter, so they are for 11 inch drums. I've forgotten how to tell whether the backing plates are for 3 inch or smaller drum brakes...can anyone enlighten me?

    Currently looking for some drum brakes for my 8 3/4 here in Australia. Found an add on ebay Australia by a guy whose selling these brakes, which he bought for a ford 9 inch but was told by his diff shop that they weren't ford but "Chrysler charger" (sic). Anyone recognise these brakes as...

    11 inch finned drums - show me some pics pls!

    Anyone running 11 inch finned drums on their 8 3/4 rear? I'm hunting around for some drums to put on my newly acquired 8 3/4 which already has backing plates for 11 inch drums, but wonder how they would look, seen through the spokes on my cragars. Maybe 10 inch drums a better option (I know...

    Donor axle for 8 3/4 - will this work?

    I have an 8 3/4, 489 carrier, out of a Dodge Phoenix here in Australia (ie. in USA basically a 4 door Plymouth Fury). The set-up is of course way too long for my 68 cuda so I am having the housing shortened to A Body length. The existing axles I have with the 8 3/4 measure approx. 30 3/4" from...

    Tubular upper control arms

    Just wondering, what's the consensus on tubular upper control arms for street use? Are they strong and safe enough for regular use? Do they place added stress on the control arm mounting points in the frame rails? I have a set installed on my 68 cuda, made here in Australia, with added...
