Yes they did, ALL A body cars with V8 and 8 3/4 had small bolt pattern except.. Except those who got a car with the HD suspension, option wheels, etc got the large bolt pattern. I had A 67 Barracuda Formula S with the 273 High output motor, it had 8 3/4 with small bolt pattern. Also a 69 Dart...

Yep they were the hipo 2783's solid lifters, different intake with the modified single/dual plain method, larger journals and bearings but same as that in street cars. Really good motors. Because of the head design of 273's Chrysler felt they would do better with the 340 type head - X or J, do...

Can get sheet metal for every part of 67 -69 barracudas. Just restored a 67 had no problem with rear quarter right front and door skin.

Have one of these on a 1967 318 LA . Works just fine, no problems in tuning or running. So what if it has a slight slope on it?? Not sure, on this one anyway, it would make a whole lot of difference. Now, on a more finely tuned, higher compression motor and all it might but as a general...
