1967 Cuda FB project
Well, I know I'm going to get some **** for this, but, doing it anyway. :) I have another project that is in the works that I've been able to dabble a little with because it's not the "whole car in shop" yet.
Been a while, still trying to get the Cuda back in shop so I can work on it. Son in law has been working on the 70 Challenger and I've been helping when I can. Hopefully that project gets sent to the bodywork side soon so I can bring the Cuda back in!!!!
So, on to some pics. :)
As some of you astute Mopar guys have deduced, something is wrong with that engine. :) Well, I've had a 6-71 blower laying around my shop for about 10 years. Finally decided to do something with it. Have some "broken" 6.1 hemi's laying around so decided to build a blown hemi 70 dart. Since an engine doesn't take up much room, I have been able to putz a little on something of my own between all the customer stuff.
As you can see, those are old hemi covers. I had some laying around I got from my uncle when he moved. The covers on the gen 3 hemi look really bad. LOL So, the S-I-L came up with the idea of making them work on the gen 3 hemi. I scratched my head and came up with this idea. The old covers wouldn't fit down totally over the new covers so I made a spacer. It worked out well as it lifted the old cover enuff to give ample room for the gen 3 coils.
It is going to be fuel injected by factory hellcat injectors run by Holleys Exterminator ecm system. Have more pics will load later.
Feels good to be back on here even if it isn't progress on the Cuda.
OK, I am ready for the bashing. :)
