It's not a great sight to see. I can only imagine how much work you put into your car and hope you have better luck putting it back together.

The underneath of the car required substantial repairs. One side of the rear frame structure was destroyed by rust. The front and back mounting plates for the springs were rusted out. The crossmember for the torsion bars and transmission was cracked/split beyond repair. One small section of...

Just looking for alternative.

Anyone aware of a aftermarket flex plate to mate a 5.9l magnum to a 46RH transmission?

I have a 46RH transmission installed in a 1967 Barracuda. I'm trying to determine if anyone has found a transmission filler tube that would work with this application. Is it possible that a tube from either a 904 or a 727 will work in this situation?

Disregard this post. The outboard ports do have an angle on the side.

The outboard exhaust ports on a 360 magnum are square, while the inboard ports have an angled side on the port. The TTI headers that I've been looking at all appear to have angled ports for all openings. Is there an alternative header that has the correct port configuration for the 360 magnum?

Thanks for the caution. I did check the piston to deck height and the piston is .002" below the deck. The stock pistons were setting .060 below the deck and the calculated CR was around 8.8:1. I went to the KB-107 piston to increase the CR and was aiming for a calculated CR around 9.5:1. I...

I would be very interested in your solution to this problem since I'm going through the same situation. I also have a 1967 Barracuda and am swapping in a 8 3/4 rear diff w/3.23 posi and the discs are 11' as well.

The Felpro intake gaskets that I have are almost perfectly matched to the ported heads. I will look at the edelbrock gaskets to see if they are a better fit. Thanks for the suggestion.

Thanks for you input!!

The first photo is of the intake with the gasket lined up with the intake ports, and all intake ports were lined up correctly. The second photo is of the intake with the gasket lined up with the coolant port, and all the intake ports were offset. I will post additional photos.

I just look at the kegger that came of the engine and it doesn't have coolant ports on the rear of the intake manifold. I wouldn't have expected this!
