Street Cruser
Putting this motor together this week, going into the 68 Barracuda. The goal is a healthy street performance car that I can drive to and run on the strip. I know that multi tasking can be a chore, but I also want to try an autocross or two. I don’t have reservations of being a class winner in either, but I do want to drive the car to the track, race it, and drive it back home.
Photos and motor details:
* The block, head and crank are last year 1987 parts. The case was line bored, pistons, rings matched to the bores.
* KB 239 1 mm oversized 2.2 l pistons
* K1 cast crank long rods
* King bearings
* Ported aluminum oil pump with NOS internals
* I-J twin crank scrapers
* Mopar Performance windage tray
* Baffled oil pan
* Cloyes double roller timing chain
* Power Bond Damper
* Camshaft is an Oregon regrind on the oe stock core...
* Head is fully ported
* Ford 289 polished valves
* Beehive valve springs
* Light weight lifters
* Smith Brothers pushrods.
