Trans-Am info for the 1966 Barracuda

Hello All,

Our team is considering building a 1966 Plymouth Barracuda to run in the Historic Trans Am Series.

From some limited research it appears that 3 cars were built and raced. The "factory" car was run by Team Starfish with Scott Harvey as their driver. In addition to Scott Harvey, Bruce Jennings and Charlie Rainville also drove. It appears that Al Shall and Steve Durst drove a car at limited events during the 1967 season along with at least one, or both of the other Barracudas participating in both East and West coast events. There is even a reference of Richard Petty driving one during the 1966 season. I do not know if he prepared and drove the car, or if he was a "guest driver".

So here are my questions:

Does anyone know any of the above people and have contact information?

Does anyone know of any of these cars whereabouts?
Here is one in the Pacific Northwest

Has anyone built, or is in the process of building one of these cars?

Does anyone know what engine they ran? Was it the 273, or was it something else?

...and finally,

I would love to hear from all of the drag racers, Stock car racing and road race people out their on how to modify/adapt and keep a 273 alive for road racing. What is the most HP you can get out of these (Trans Am could only run a single 4bbl, I am not sure of the size, or make)

Thanks in advance,

I look forward to hearing your comments and suggestions.
