I believe I just said the car was Canadian built, I also believe the engine would have been manufactured in the US not in Canada but the stamp is definitely Canadian installed engine.

I apologize, I meant the cast numbers/ raised. The one I posted was stamped.

Thanks for that, I definitely did not find that info in my searches… Looks like it is probably not the original engine for my car. The block and intake are stamped to be a 1966 273, I haven’t had the valve cover off to check the heads but I don’t think it will be the 273 commando it was supposed...

I was actually able to use the one from before with a few mods. I am way up north so I was hoping it would work because I couldn’t find a new one.

Thx for the reply, that is not my vin but it was a late build I believe it was August if I remember correctly. I am thinking they may have used different numbers up here in Canada, I was reading an article which indicated so. There is not much literature out there on the Canadian built cars but...

Right on, yeah I got it installed. Similar to yours we had to cut it back, on mine though it had some sort of a homemade tailpipe to look like the original but it didn’t… I like the resonator, it looks good and give the car a better sound.

Hello I have searched everywhere and cannot seem to figure out what these letters and numbers mean on the front of my block under the head. The block is a 6-7-66 stamped 2465330, it’s in my 65 August built Canadian made 1965 barracuda. I am thinking this is probably the way the Canadian plant...

I know this may be a long shot but I was wondering if anyone had a picture of the original resonator hanger? I am getting a new date coded resonator put on on a couple days and would like to have it looking as close to original as possible. 1965 barracuda 273 barrel commando engine.

Yeah those loose spades got me a few time when I was going through mine…

Easiest way to take care of that wiring is to buy some new harnesses in my opinion. Also a new circuit board would not hurt, they are a bit of work but all that electrical stuff should probably be replaced for best results. Cheers, nice car!

Yeah another 2 months at best to drive em.

Hello, I thought I would post my car in this thread because I didn’t really see a place to post members rides. I bought this car a few months back , I can’t say how long for sure it has been going through the restoration process but I believe it was painted in 2016 or so. The fella before me...

Yeah it looks a little different than the barracuda, but I am sure those screws to hold it down are the same.

They are 1” and look like this, I hope this helps.

Which ones? I am just installing the carpet in my Barracuda but the only screws for carpet would be the hold downs on the inside.
