I appreciate it!

Thanks! Without doing a bunch of tuning I ran a 8.5 @82 1/8th mile. Need to fine tune the carb and play with my timing curve a little. Also need to weld in my ladder bars because I was getting pretty gnarly axle wrap and it slowed my launch down.

Couple more!

Thought I would finish up my build thread. Pretty weak on keeping it updated haha. The car is finished and raced a little before the season ended. Super happy how it turned out. Going to be making minor changes this winter as well as starting a new build on a 67 notchback. I’ll keep posting...

I went away from the whole turbo setup...saving for another project. wanted to stay old school and somewhat correct for gasser era. If you are going to turbo it they make great blow through carbs that can be calibrated to your setup and then have tech support help you dial it in. As far as...

Another update. Moon tank from 60’s mounted up. Also some period correct 15X3.5 Fenton Gyros up front. Have some 15X10 for the rear. Moon pedals installed. Built brackets for throttle cable and return spring. Making sure to get WOT. Ladder bar mount/crossmember/driveline loop is built and just...

Been awhile since I have posted an update. Front axle is complete. Fender well headers are welded up but are getting sent out for ceramic coating(white). 6AL2 ignitin is currently being wired up along with fuel pump, line lock, and battery disconnect. Scored chromed ladder bars at a swap meet so...

Update on the build. Engine and tranny are in. Steering is all setup on the straight axle with correct angles. Rear still needs shocks. Ladder bars are going in right now. Fenderwell headers are finished and just need to get coated. Lots left to do but will be done this winter and ready to race...

The Ford 9” is finished! Narrowed in our shop with a jig. 33 spline moser shafts, spool, and Wilwood disc brakes. Springs have been relocated and welded in. Turns out my driveline u joint fits the 9” yoke. New gas tank went in as well because mine was falling apart from rust. Straight axle is...

I got the 10.5” bellhousing to use. I talked to the guys at brewers performance and they got me setup on the whole conversion. The fly wheel is externally balanced and has the correct weight. I bought that new with some ARP bolts. The headers are (for now). I’m going to be putting a straight...

Thank you

Update for anyone still interested in this ol’ Barracuda. Things are coming together. Ford 9” is being narrowed. 389 gears, spool, and moser shafts. Couple of engine components bolted on like high flow water pump, valve covers, headers(for now) and other small things.

Will the back wheels fit under stock fenders? Being 8.5" wide with that backspacing. Wondering if I can stuff them in my 65 barracuda. Thanks.

Engine and tranny are pulled! I have a lot to do still but things are moving along. Started to clean the tranny to get it ready for some paint. Pretty cool to see 65 stamped on it. Next is getting the 360 ready to drop in. I have been tossing a lot of ideas around. I know the front end bushings...
