    Late model exhaust manifolds in an early A-body

    i have a set that i took out of my 64 that were already milled down on the ds. if anyone in the northern california area is looking for some, let me know. i could ship them as well but the shipping probably wouldnt be worth it.

    late model bullitt wheels on an early A

    cant say it drives any worse than it did :). i do have a little more of a vibration but the front wheels have multiple flat spots in each. and im using acorn lugs all around so i think they are all pretty round.

    late model bullitt wheels on an early A

    here are some shots of my 64' with 17x8 mustang bullitt wheels. the car came with small bolt pattern kelsey hays discs' and a large bolt patter disc conversion had been done on the rear end. 1'' adapters from 4'' to 4.5'' in the front did two things, got me to large bolt patter and brought the...

    exhausted....

    You do not need a 90 degree oil filter adapter. Among my family we have 3 early a bodies with v8's mine with a 360. It is tight but its been done quite a bit with the stock manifolds. I'm not positive which one is which but my brothers 65 valiant has one style of the manifolds that exit...

    ive heard that the 65 val front wheel opening is close to the wagon rear opening

    ive seen this done sort of the other way around. my dad cut the openings off of a wagon and molded them in to be the rear openings on a 64 barracuda. before doing this as the finished product he did do it starting with front fenders and it wasnt as clean. sure is a lot easier to find a front...

    addco Sway Bar install on 64 barracuda

    i did not weld that bracket on. thanks for the heads up, i will keep an eye on them. i plan to pull the front end apart to put LBP discs on and sand blast/paint the whole front end in the spring time. maybe at that point ill weld up those tabs and refine the front mounts.

    addco Sway Bar install on 64 barracuda

    I do have a rear sway bar in the garage.....my brother installed a similar one to the top side of the rear end on his valiant, which is what im going to attempt to do. i can live with the front bar hanging alittle low because its still hard to see, but the rear would be very visible if...

    addco Sway Bar install on 64 barracuda

    I was just thinking after i finished that i should of bent those down and bolted up through the bottom. i probably will do that, hopefully before i bash them on something. i dont have the front of the car that low so i should be fine for now.

    addco Sway Bar install on 64 barracuda

    Just installed an Addco large diameter front sway bar on a 1964 barracuda. attached below are some pictures of the install showing how i decided to install it. my k frame did not have the factory holes nor did my LCA's have the factory tabs. My kit did not come with directions and from what...

    Sway Bar install

    ya i saw that those will bolt right to the shock mounts. but for the k frame mounts the kit came with an L bracket that can be welded(or drilled and bolted for that matter) to the bottom of the K frame to create a second whole for the clamp mounts to bolt to. I should be able to clear all this...

    Sway Bar install

    i have seen some nice mounts, but i dont want to wait to order more parts or spend the money. i think i have it figured out to where i can flip flop the design and get the bar higher than the bottom of the K frame, might be close to the harmonic balancer but it looks like it should work. going...

    Sway Bar install

    Sway Bar install

    Going to start on a Front Sway bar install on my 64 barracuda today. i think the system i have is from addco. looks like ill be welding some tabs on the k frame and drilling one hole, i have a non sway bar car so the end links will be bolting to the lca shock mount. im going to take pictures...

    Any one build their own Headers

    oh i wanted too, but did not want to risk cracking a valve with those manifolds being so short. not enough tubing to keep the cold air off the hot valves. thanks!

    Any one build their own Headers

    Got too ancy to wait to build the headers and just put the new motor in with manifolds. no need to worry for anyone out there curious on how my headers turn out. i am going to continue building them. for now here is a video of the new 360 in the barracuda. loading it on the trailer to go to the...

    66 Cuda slant 6 for 289 Ford Possible???

    probably dont want to tell anyone around here about putting a ford in.....but hey now days, you gotta do what you gotta do. and i have no clue what it would take to put one in, probably more money than it would be to buy another running six.

    Arm rest placement??

    ya mine are tilted up in the front so with the car's natural rake they seem to be about level for your forearm and then the backs are pretty much horizontal. but ive seen other cars with them horizontal in the front too. maybe it could be what someone else wrote that other year arm rests the...

    Arm rest placement??

    seen a couple different early A's with the arm rests in different positions. some parallel , some tilted foreward, some tilted back? anyone know what the factory position is or is it another mopar thing where each plant did it different with what they had?

    A904 to 360

    My 64 barracuda has a 318 in it right now, came in the car when i bought it and i dont think it has the bushing because i do get vibration at certain rpms. have my bushing being shipped tomorrow, one step closer to putting the 360 in.

    Water in the exhaust! Rrrrr

    If you dont have Brass Freeze plugs you might have one with a hole in it. easy fix if its that! check the back of the block and heads, the hard ones to get to always go first.

    A904 to 360

    yes i have the balanced flexplate with the cut out, and i understand the application of a stall speed, just had a 2400 stall on the shelf i was trying to see if it would fit, but sounds like that van tranny is a 727 so that wont work. going to get the adapter for the tc and just leave the stock...

    A904 to 360

    fairly positive i do have the balanced flexplate already. I just need to run the number on summit to confirm. anyone know where to find the adapter for the smaller hub thing that sits in the crank(for the 904 converter to the 360 crank)
