1965 Barracuda

Is it the 65 Barracuda you had on here for sale a while back? If so, use the oil pan, motor mounts and exhaust from the 273. The truck will have a 727 in it, which can fit with a big shoe horn! You will need to beat the pinch weld where the firewall and floor pan meet. You will also have to take the rubber bumper thingy out of the top of the torsion bar crossmember if it hasn't rotted and fell out yet. It's tight, but it will work. Get the driveshaft from the truck too, plus the kickdown linkage. You will have to get the driveshaft cut to fit after you measure it. Be prepared to install a new shifter of some sort for the transmission too. The last 65 Barracuda I did all of the above to was around 1983, so I'm sure I forgot a few things. I took a 340/727 out of a 73 Dart Sport and stuck it in the Barracuda. Used the Sport driveshaft and 8 1/4, but had to get the shaft cut. I used the console and shifter from the Sport too, but cobbled it in. It worked fine for a driver. Got me back and forth to work for a few years. I had $200 in the whole thing, and maybe a fourth of that was title and tag....lol. Those were the good old days!
