I was just thinking about this subject and Ppow! here it is! I am on the fence whether to rebuild My 273 2bbl, or go the crate motor route. 273 needs a complete rebuild. Can a 273 in a 67 barracuda get into the 13's and still be tame enough for the street?

I'm interested in this thread. It sounds like what I want to do to My 273. With a mild rebuild such as this, are headers really that big of a difference? I was thinking of just using the manifolds and going to a 2 1/2" dual exhaust. Mine has 3:91's in the back though. Wasn't sure if the...

I will be replacing the quarters and rockers on my '67. What vendor makes a nice piece? I will probably also use a new trunk pan as well. Thanx, SS43

I'll take it off your hands for 20 bucks and a Happy meal.

I would like to see some politicians take a pay-cut.

You think like Me,Captain.

I do have pictures somewhere. Will try to find them. The guys insurance co. offered Me $1750 for the car and I took it, not knowing what I had. I had only paid $1100 for the car.

Mine was a '68. The body shop sat along a major 4 lane highway. The car was backed up along a fence about 50 feet from the road,with a big ditch to handle the water coming off the highway. One night,some doctors kid fell asleep(or passed out) behind the wheel of his 280Z turbo. His car goes...

Just curious. Are you guys seeing any of these cars around? I had one when I was 17. Nothing special in the performance department(318/727 stock). The car was totalled while sitting at a body shop getting the quarters redone. I haven't seen any at the car shows I've been to. And Yeah, I...

The more I think about it,the more I want to use the 273,keep it running 87 octane,and have a fun ride that sounds and runs decent. Besides,no one will know how fast my car is(or isn't) unless I tell them. BTW, I had a '69 Chevelle SS that was a high 12 second car. My next mopar build will...

What's oil?

I am really thinking that with my dream of 12's being limited by the rule book, that I will just build the 273 with the mild cam,redo the heads for unleaded gas,add a 4barrel and appropriate headers. The car won't be a screamer,but it will look and sound good. A buddy of mine also has an...

I will never part with the original engine and/or parts. If I stay with the 273,the cam I select will also have to work should I decide to put the top end of the motor back to original(2barrel and all). Besides, I want to run 87 octane gas in it. I want something that is fun to drive,and can be...

I will be starting a '67 Cuda Convertible soon. I just read the NHRA rules as far as convertibles and roll-bars. If the car runs quicker than a 13.49 it must have a roll-bar. I don't want to put one in an 83k all original car. So... The car has the original 273 2 barrel/904.7 1/4" combo...

Go Red Sox!!!and whoever is playing the Yankees!

I'm not sure if it was rare or not,but I had a '68 Coronet convertible that was totalled while sitting at a body shop for some repairs. I only had $1100 in the car and the guys insurance offered Me $1750,so I took the money. I kick myself for that one! It was a 2 owner with only 77K on the clock.

Finally got a few minutes to say Hi. Been a member a few weeks now,and really enjoy the site. I have a '67 Barracuda convertible that I will be starting a restification on. Right now it has a 273/904/ 7 1/4". I am planning on using a '78 318 with a good freshening,and adding an aluminum...

Thanks guys.

360scamp has the right idea if tape is on a bumper. I have been in the auto-recon business for years and that is the way We do it. If the tape is on interior chrome plated plastic,then go with the goo gone.

273 2 barrel,904, 7 1/2". I figured the car is pretty light, but wasn't sure how the convertible affected the total.

I have a '67 convertible. Can't seem to find a curb weight listed. Anyone know how much this thing weighs? Car is in storage waiting on a frame up-restification. Any help is appreciated.
