And just like that....Dany's race engine is gone!!
If you have been following her on the Racers forum we were getting a magnum together to swap into the '66 Cuda she has been bracket racing this summer.
Pulled the heads (yup..cracked gonna run them anyway) looked the rest over and was just about to order a cam when BANG!!
Her daily driver Durango (a 5.9 also) spews all its coolant out the exhaust!!
So we decided it didn't make sense to repower the Barracuda with an engine that would drop right in her Durango and get her back and forth to school.( it sucks to be responsible)
So she lapped the valves and we threw the heads and intake back on it and dumped it in the Durango.
We haven't done an "autopsy" of the other engine yet but I'm hoping it can be rebuilt to go in the Cuda instead. Maybe a good excuse to put some EQ318B's on it??
