Thanks for all the input Guys, I am hoping the car is to be out of the shop after work. The spacer is mainly to raise the aircleaner a little further up through the hood, into the "6 pack" scoop. Perhaps I could ditch the spacer on the carb and put one of those "rings" between the aircleaner...

Sorry 360 motor, 188 heads, Stock bottom end, comp XE262h split duration cam 218/224 @ .050.

I dropped off some parts for him to install, as I am wqay to busy to put them onmyself right now, and would like to get in some fun before the winter hits up here. I had some oil leaks around my intake manifold near the dizzy, so it had to come off anyway I decided that the intake I had...

Guess I need to explain better Gears would for instance would be better off the line, but are going to increase fuel consumption, and be really high reving if I drive to a show in another city or something. Better of the line with a converter, but will require a trans cooler, and will...

OK, I have a 66 barracuda with a 75 360 basically stock except for a comp XE 262h cam, and a Wieand 8007 intake with a 670 street avenger carb. The transmission is a 904, I got from a local FABO Member. I have a 3.91 gearset, as well as a 2200-2800 Boss Hog Converter. What are the Pro's /...

I like my 6a. No more Ceramic resitor thingy ( man I used to go through a lot of those things) you can gap you plugs at like .050 (Bigger Spark). I think the MSD, and the Smaller more powerful dakota starter were the best two upgrades you can make for easier Starting!

OK I will be putting inth new valve springs (Comp 901-16) and locks, retainers etc thought while I have the rockers out perhaps I should replace them with some rollers. Is this really worth my Time/Money. Would 1.6 ratio make much difference on my set-up? Quick and dirty summary of my set...

Oops double post

The "Spline Count" is only important for the tranny going in, to determine the type of converter correct? it does not matter if a different spline count transmission came out, unless I am reusing the converter? Just trying to verify. Also anyone know if the colour of the converter means...

Yes, that peddle set up is exactly like mine. I will count splines on my SB 904 tonight (Those are the ridges that extend down the input shaft of the transmission right?) Here is a pic of the u-joint, you can see the /6 904 is still really "fresh"

Thanks for all the tips! I'm thinking of doing the swap in the next couple weeks, probably the weekend after the long Weekend (Victoria Day). I am going to try and put it in as one unit

Oh, I forgot my car was a 273 2bbl when it was born, so it does have the cable type accelerator peddle. I have a "Thingy" that you can crank to tilt the motor front to back, is this what you are talking about? What are some Key identifiers of a post 68 904 vs an Early one?

I'm still hoping to hear from a volunteer!

I do have a SB 904 (Thanks Muller) stashed away that I have been debating using, looksmlike the decision has been finalized. I was leaning towards the 727, just because it only has 30 some thousand miles on it.

So using the 904, would save me on driveshaft fitment then?

OK I Was under there, and it is a normal type u joint. Are all 904's the same length? I was considering using the Slant converter if I go with the 904, as it is new, I only have had that tranny for about 1 year, I had a new one installed with the new tranny. The slant converter will be ok...

OK I have no idea what you are talking about, I am going to run outside and snap some pic's underneath, and you can help me out!!:-D

OK to answer a few questions. -Car already has a drop centerlink -I Have Spitfire headers -I am using belts and accesories that were on the 360 when I got it -Lokar Kickdown linkage -I am planning to use flexible rad hosses until I get a new bigger rad.The /6 rad that is in it is only...

How long domyou think an engine swap will take in my 66 cuda. Please take the following information into consideration. -Car is currently /6-904 -Going to 360 - 727 -have schumacher mounts -Motor is fully assembled already -I have an engine hoist and am planning to insert from the top -I...

New oil Pan from e-scrag, actually looks like a quality part. I believe it was less than $70 Shipped. Now I need to get an oil pickup. Any one Know what the part Number is ???? I am debating on painting it Blue, or Black. What do you all think?? Pics:

Getting a bit Closer, I have 1 of the headders from Harold, apparently the other one got lost in the Christmas Rush. He has sent me a relacement, that should be here is a week or so! Passenger side header:

The motor is almost ready to go in. I am waiting on two parts; The headers from Harold at spitfire (apparently he messed up on the customs documents and they are on the way back to AK) and a center sump oilpan that i've got lined up though FABO within a couple hours drive. (Thanks DARTNUT) So...

I can't say for sure in you application, but in early a-bodies you need the v-8 centerlink to clear the oilpan. I also know that there are some issues in some models with fitting the 727 around the fire wall. I am only speaking from early a research, so you might be OK. Radiator - I don't...

OK I have started to put everything back together, and I have noticed something possibly of conscern with the intake manifold. There are two crescent shaped openings ath the top center of each head that are exposed when using the new manifold (Weiand 8007) it appeard this area was coverd by the...

Dusterboy: I think that article used a 262? Guess I will check it out?

Can you elaborate on the firment issues? I have set it on top on the heads, but have not tried to bolt it down yet! I thought they were a respected company?

Got confirmation from Schumacher that my mounts were shiped this morning! Harold called and said my headers are built. I overnighted him the money on Wednesday, so hopefuilly he ships on Friday! (No COD in Canada :( ) Picked up my cam and lifters on Wednesday as well. We are getting...

Spent a little time in my old mans garage last night.Took off the 727, and got the motor up on the stand. I also just got off the phone wiht Harold from Spitfire, and he says he is building another run of Early a headers next week. he should be able to have them to me in about 2-3 weeks...

The tranny was replaced with a rebuilt unit this spring, and a "new" converter was part of the package. assuming that the converter was/is not worn out will it be an advantage? if I was to go with a new converter what stall speed would you reccomend?

OK Rear is an 8.25 for sure, and has BBP. Can't answer questions about the 904 yet, as I have not gone to pick it up from Muller yet. The valve covers are from the motor, the motor came out of a dodge 1 ton truck. I will put up some pics of the motor next week (it is in my dad's...
