Show Us Pictures of 2nd Generation Barracudas

How my fish became a drag car...

The car and engine builds were done as projects featured in Mopar Muscle Magazine. The car build was called the B3 Bomber (Barracuda, Bracket, Budget). The premise of the build was that if you were selective about what you bought new vs used, and performed most of the labor yourself, you could build a reliable, consistant, 10 second bracket car for about $10,000 (2005 dollars).

So the 2nd phase of the build goes like this:

Take a 400 B block, stroke it to 451, and put enough speed parts to get about 650 HP
Buy a wrecked drag car to provide lots of misc parts
Refresh the transmission from the wrecked drag car
Order a new Strange 60 spool rearend w/ 4:30 Pro gears
Upgrade the driveshaft U Joints to 1350's
Attach rear end with new Super Stock Springs
Add pinion snubber
Rebuild stock brakes front and rear
Rebuild stock front end
