The car killed itself from embarrassment of having a dinky roof job done....

will a 65 valiant windshield fit a 65 Barracuda?

Greetings from Wichita. I recently acquired a 65 Barracuda and am starting to bring it back alive. According to the fender tag, it came with the 273 Commando V8 four barrel, automatic power steering and power brakes variable wipers, bolt through wheel covers and some other stuff I'm trying to...

For an alternative, here is a link to Scarebird conversion. 14" wheels, parts readily available at any FLAPS... 1960-72 Dodge, Plymouth "A" body, with 9" drums Wheel Kit

thanks!

Need the two large floor plugs that fit the holes in the spare tire well for a 65 Barracuda

That looks like a good cam, from the stuff I've read, especially for a basically stock engine.

He did not say anything about a turbo cam.

I corresponded with Ken and gave him the parameters I was working with regarding engine, vehicle, gearing etc. I mentioned the 340 four speed (#205) cam. He recommended this.

We have done the #2120 on 114 sep cam for other customers looking for the 205 cam and as far as I know they were happy with them. #2120 221/227 @ .050”, 276/309 adv, .438”/.456” lift, 112 sep

I'm conferring with Oregon Cams about getting one of their grinds similar to the MP #205 grind.

That cam is by Speed Pro (part of Federal Mogul): "Chrysler 318, 340 and 360 Hydraulic camshaft, 1500-4500 rpm range, 279 intake/ 290 exhaust adv. duration, duration @ .050 of 210 intake and 220 exhaust, Vavle lift of .429 intake and .442 exhaust, Lobe C/L is 114. Matches Chrysler's 340 - 275...

All very good suggestions. Thanks. I am in contact with Oregon Cam Grinders regarding grinding me something similar to the 340 four speed cam or the auto cam, though I have found a Federal Mogul cam that is the same grind as the auto grind. The car has dual exhausts, exiting in front of the rear...

The gearing position is valid, except I don't want to change gears. I plan on driving some distances on the highway with this car, so I'd choose not to change a gear. Don't get me wrong: I've run some very strong cars back in the day, and gearing is an essential part of a strip car, or street...

I've though about the 68 four speed 340 cam or maybe the auto box version. Opinions?
