I have tried three different sets of manifolds in my 65 barracuda. 340 manifolds and a couple different sets of A body and E body manifolds, everything hits the steering. You are limited to the choked 273 drivers manifold or Doug's or TTI headers. I went with Doug's.

I know what the adjective Valiant means, smart asses. :banghead: I am referring to the similarities in the name and badge. Same colors on the badge and same basic shape. That is what I am referring too.

I recently stumbled across this while watching some World Touring Car Racing. Check out the name and logo and on a Chevy Cruize even. Look familiar? I did a little more digging and came up with this. Michel Vaillant is the title of a French comics series created in 1957 by French...

Thanks Mike. I was looking at mine and I can't tell if it is. The class that I run in requires one, but if the car never came with one and I can run a factory column then I'm confused. I might have to call someone on this one.

Is there a collapsable steering column or shaft on a 65 Barracuda?

Liked your facebook page and I am loving this build. So what's up with the headers? Did you ever build another set?

Looks like a great buy to me. My 65 Barracuda is a hipo car and came with a 7 1/4 rear and tiny drums. I guess these were goin' cars and not stopin' cars. Anythings possible.

Exactly what I was thinking. Are you going to Vegas in the spring?

Thanks everyone. I feel much better. Steve my plans have changed a little. I am going to run in the bigger displacement class and just add lead to the car to get as close to a 50/50 as possible and hit the 3,000lb min limit. I have heard from a few that run that class saying that the torque...

Haven't weighed the car yet, because I am still putting it back together. I have swapped to a mini starter and aluminum intake, aluminum master cylinder. That's a few more pounds.

Waggin I'm not desperate enough to start drilling holes yet, but I am in the process of scraping all of the undercoating.

I would be running against Mustangs and Camaros. :wack:

Wow that is light. I had no idea. Thanks Hotlines Yes I can use all of these. There are very few modifications that I can't do, like swapping to an IRS or moving the firewall. Things like that. There are also tire limitations, depending on weight. The biggest one is engine size. Once...

I plan on running the car as is this year at a few events in Salt Lake and Ogden. It won't be very competitive running the factory 904, street tires and an open diff, but will give me something to play with while I collect more parts.

Is 2,700lbs even possible with a small block 65 Barracuda without fiberglass panels? In SCCA Prepared C Class in order to take advantage of them minimum weight limits of running a 273. The max displacement of this weight class is 5.1L or 5,100cc. A 318 is 5,200cc so it would put me in the...

Honestly I would do that, but I want to replace the wood panel anyway and all of the interior. The car is in the process of being torn down and I was going to buy new locks for the car anyway. I don't want to be fighting 47 year old locks.

I kind of thought about that too and I really think it's the best option so far. It still cracks me up that they made that panel out of wood. Time to get out the jig saw. Thanks

Like an idiot I shut my trunk lid and have no key. :banghead: Well I have had to remove the back seat to pop the clip on many mopars because of not having a key to the trunk lock, but my 65 Barracuda has me stumped, other than calling a locksmith. I'm sure that most of the you know the hinged...

I did a brake swap on my 65 Barracuda, but I had a 73 Dart parts car and a 73 340 dart sport. I swapped everything, spindles, disc brakes, distribution block. I picked up an aluminum 2 bolt dual mater cylinder and adapter plate from Dr. Diff. I even swapped the 8 1/4 rear with 3.23 gears and...

Going through the same thing with a 65 Barracuda with a 273 with 318 heads. I think alot of it depends if it has power steering. Mine does and the only thing that will work are doug's headers, spitfires, early 273 manifolds (what I am using). I tried 340 manifolds and 71 318 manifolds and had...

Dang it. I could use some parts from that 65 Barracuda.

I am doing something similar to what you are talking about, but first I want to get it on the road. Here is my build http://www.forabodiesonly.com/mopar/showthread.php?t=173970 I have kind of changed direction with the engine and trans because I have gotten a 4 speed from a 340 car. So I will...

Your car is looking good Scott and let us know how the T&T goes. Sorry to hear about your mom.

My 65 Barracuda came with one, but it is missing now. I assume that it is this one. https://www.yearone.com/Product/DisplayProduct/8715

Very cool. I learned something today.

I have no idea what you are talking about. Here is my 65 Barracuda that I am stripping and don't have a "black box".

A buddy dropped a set of wire pliers on his freshly painted 72 Cuda quarter and chipped it already he also chipped the paint while installing his deck lid. Good thing that he is a painter. He just said "no big deal".

The color looks great Scott. Congrats :thumleft:

Keep it, they are getting hard to find in that condition.

My guess is that it's the width. I know the factory made 22" and 26" radiators for the later cars.
