Pulled the motor outta my 66 cuda - what next....

[DJVCUDA]

Nothing wrong with the car - just want to paint the motor, and give it a little more power...

It's a 68 318 +.030 , 68 X heads, M1, 600 holley... nuthin special

Now what would look good sittin in there.... I know a big block would BUT...

I have a tunnel ram waiting for the project to the left of this car in the pix... it's a way off and could use a big block in that... SO I have the 360 totally ready to run , tunnel ram, to oil pan... what do ya think?

( I took the pix on the 318 cause it was right in front of the car.

First off welcome aboard.
That's a beautiful Cuda,is that Plum Crazy?

The car off to the far left looks to be the tail fin of a 56 Plymouth,what are your plans for that?

A big block would look cool, but so would that tunnel ram sticking thru the hood :thumrigh: Plus with the small block you wouldn't have to cut up the engine compartment :wink:

Thanks.. I was on the board before on the other address...

Does anyone know about the hooker headers they claim to make for the car? thier web site dont call them fenderwells?

other then spitfires it's the only other header I can find!

got a spare hood, in primer right now... might go flat black for now, but want to paint it purple... heh, i thin k i'll liike it.

I originally have this setup for my other car, y7oua are right it's a tubbed out 56 plymouth , but it's a few years down the road.... i always wanted to run the tunnel ram!

besires they are 2 - 390 vac sec carbs, wich equals a 780 4 bbl, and the ram is an edelbrock STREET tunnel ram, so it has a smaller plenum for a stronger signal.
