Another Mopar Off My Bucket List - Barracuda Fastback
Thanks for the offer airwoofer. Yes, it is the same carb that came with the engine. I've got a couple of fresh Edelbrocks and 4 near new Holleys here as well. I don't think I'll be looking to replace the carb that's on it but you never know.
I've got so many projects going on at the same time here and it's a bit of a balancing act trying to keep them all moving forward. Part of why I referenced a "bucket list" in the title of this thread was because I have had a lot of projects that have been sitting idle for years. After a pair of heart attacks I decided that it was time to get them done before I kick off. My oldest unfinished project is my fiberglass T-bucket that I started re-doing as a teenager.
The replacement 360 should be here this Saturday. I'm hoping that I'll have all of the accessory brackets from the original motor removed, cleaned, and repainted before it arrives. I was told that this other engine is painted orange and as much as that's my preferred engine color, I want it to look right for a 'Lil Red. No one had Chrysler blue paint in town so I'll have to make a 25 mile run to Columbus for some. - Or order from JEGS. I decided to clearcoat the exhaust manifolds. The NAPA store here listed a 2000' temp clear that I ordered.
