Thanks for all the advice. I ended up getting a 360 and putting it in the 64 Cuda. Should make a good grocery getter for the wife.

Excellent! Thanks for the info. Is there a certain brand that fits better than others?

What are the stock lug dimentions of a 64 Barracuda? Are they 5 x 4? and do adapters work to change them to a 5 x 4.5?

Looks like you're trying to run a continuous bead. Running a contunuous bead will not work. Too much head gererated so warping is a problem. What I would do is find a tig welder for rent and practice. If you must use a mig, approach it as a whole bunch af good, solid tack welds...start at one...

I know what you mean...my 64 was 4K as a roller! It's currently getting a 360 and 4 speed for just over 2K so 6K and it still needs an interior and paint. I'll Easily have 15K by christmas and it'll be worth around 14. Lol, I never expect to make a profit, I just love the build process!

Yeah, I hear ya. It's my Wife's favorite car so...I'm building one. I've learned to love it only because she does. Luckily, JD, a member here came up with almost eveything I needed to get this roller on the road. I'll try to remember to post a pic when I get it done. I built my favorite car so...

I've heard many viewpoints, most of them helpful. I'm no longer interested in attempting the Chevy swap although it would have been alot easier than most of you think... I understand now I should build a 9" if I beat on it with 5500 RPM launches off the transbrake. Like I said in my original...

Hahahaha...GREAT POST. Thanks, I love it! But really, SBC's swap into anything and behave accordingly. Besides, it's all I have. I'd love to put in a small desoto hemi or even a 273 but it's not cost effective. I can't find a 273 and 4 speed for a resonable price. Better to use what I have and...

Hi, I'm from Southern Oregon...my 1st serious build was in 1980 and I havent stopped. Lol probably should have before now but no, I've still got dreams of a 7 second street monster and joining drag week...the Barracuda is for my wife, she's finally figured out that its better to just join the...
