64-66 Barracuda Race Cars Post your Pictures
OK, sorry about the pics and the post, I'm not a digital image guy. At the time I wasn't much about taking pictures of my cars, these come from a girl friend's Instamatic that I in turn snapped with my cel.
I can describe some of the mods:
The front clip was "wedged", you can see how it changes angle slightly in front of the doors. Leading edge of the hood was probably an inch or two lower then stock. The front fender opening was re-radiused and bulged over 15x8 wheels, if I remember right. No non-stock hood scoops or vents were allowed but the hood is "max adjusted" so its trailing edge is ~2" high from the cowl. You can see the blowout straps on the back glass and tabs on the windshield. Air pressure at speed could pop the glass out of the rubber. It had under-chassis headers made at the time by Doug Thorley's shop. The driver's side was four pieces that needed to be assembled from above and below. Front spindles were machined for Shelby GT350 one piece rotors with the Ford bearings, the MOPAR rotors were two piece and warped too easily. Trans was an slick-shifted 18 spline, flywheel and pressure plate hat aluminum. It used a panhard bar in the rear to eliminate any side movement. I ran different pumpkins in the 8.75, usually 3.23 or 3.91. I sandwiched real Corvair turbo mufflers into the 3" race dump pipes, using a reducer in and flipping another reducer for the outlet. The pipes did a 45 deg bend at the header outlet and another 45 to exit on driver's side in front of the wheel. No ground clearance and every cop who heard it stopped me. I had a Massachusetts State Trooper drop his sidearm from the holster while on his hands and knees looking under it.
