1967 Barracuda Formula S 383 daily driver build
Taking inventory of what I need & what's good on the car & what I have laying around is definitely the fun part. The car has some speed parts, old '80s Autometer gauges, a Hurst roll control & some miscellaneous bits like Super Stock Springs, billet U-joint caps, adjustable pinion snubber & a 742 sure grip. The list of parts to buy is long & I am cutting stuff I can make do with as I go.
I got a '65 383 long block with the car & it is now at Carter/Davis machine shop in Tulsa. The crank looks good & cylinders will clean up at 0.030. Waiting to hear back if the crank is 0.010/0.010 before I order a rebuild kit. I am going to end up selling the 516 closed chamber heads & will be getting 440 Source Stealth heads.
The 727 I got with the car will be going to Smothers Supercars to go thru it. Hopefully it's not tore up inside because the seller didn't know anything about it.
The car did come with some new parts too, an Edelbrock Performer RPM, TTI shorty headers w/aluma-coating w/head pipes, Schumacher motor mount brackets w/isolators & 4 new 14" Cooper Cobras on new 14x7 rear wheels & re-furnished 14x5.5 front wheels. The wheels/tires will go to the classifieds as soon as I get something to replace them.
