Ugly Bastard.. 67 Barracuda Notch

Well, once again I forgot to update this .

Basically, it's insured and I've been driving it. The 383 runs great, oil pressure is a little low at idle when it's hot, but what do I expect for a mystery engine with old cam bearings. Cruising psi is 45, I'm happy with that.

I had to press on new axle bearings and change the adjuster as the old one somehow unthreaded itself and wrecked the threads, therefore destroying the bearings since they were bashing themselves around. Also, the thrust bushings were gone, that didn't help.

The 4 speed pulls hard, I'm not sure I like the diaphragm clutch as much as the old 3 finger, but it works.

Best of all, it's comfortable! Loud inside, but not ear shattering. I welded in some new TTI mandrel bent exhaust I got from a friend, we traded me wiring his hoist for the pipes. Bent for an A body Barracuda, didn't fit worth a **** though, had to cut and bend and weld a lot. Running a pair of new Flowmaster 40s, traded for a wiper motor.

Found a bunch of 8 tracks (good rock music, none of this smooth jazz) and the 8 track player works great.

Been daily driving it, and easy to say , I'm in love. This thing is a blast to drive!
