69 Notch Barracuda - Rebirth

For those following this build, I’ve dyno’d the motor and am now seeking some advice on the less-than-expected performance figures after breakin and a dozen or so pulls.

And now I’m tearing apart the bottom end to start over with a different rear main seal approach. The two race engine builders in my area say they now machine all mopar big blocks to accept a Chevy main seal and retainer. Wish they’d have told me that a while back when my block was at the machining stage.

Getting the harmonic balancer off at the end of a long day battling the rotten boards on my deck was a real joy. broke the SECOND Oreily’s puller (bolt head popped off) (first Oreily’s puller set was bent by someone else), then went to the nephew again... for his Snap-on version of the puller. Nice unit. Finally did get it off... then promptly dropped it on the floor as it came off :mad: I hope the neighbors kids were sleeping... mine just laugh
When I lose it in the garage:welcome:.
