426 Hemi into a 67 68 or 9 Notchback Cuda

My whole life I've wanted a Hemi car doesn't matter if it's "real" or not (My *** won't know the difference!!!) The 68 Barracuda I bought last year made me crazy when I bought it because it's SO FREAKIN COOL!!! All I thought it needed was a Hemi. Then I realized that the 340 in it runs really good , it fits in the engine compartment , and I can work on it myself. In the end I decided just to improve the steering , braking , handling and leave the 340 in it.

Having owned and driven both, I tend to agree. My Hemi Cuda is a brute in acceleration, but lacks handling. These cars are not for everyone. The 340 in a well sorted out chassis is a much better balanced performer. It won't outrun an elephant, but it's more fun to drive.
