Big block swapping a 1964 barracuda

About 1976
I was offered a free 1964 Barracuda (mint body and triple-black), that a guy had installed a 383 into. The log manifolds were still on it, and they were dumping right onto the steering-column down-rod....... which is why the car was free; the guy was sick and tired of throwing money at it.
I was 23 years old and dumb as a sack of hammers as proven by the fact that I passed on that deal. Man if I only had that car today; what a great home it would be for my HO 367.
