    1967 Barracuda - Slant Six (orig) or 440 Big Block? Daily Driver, Need MPG

    Numbers matching slants will be rare if more people do what you do... :/ TBH, I wouldn't mind finding a slant six powered A for a driver. Unfortunately old mopars out here are not common and made worse by being smack dab in the center of some of the least populated part of the lower 48.

    1967 Barracuda - Slant Six (orig) or 440 Big Block? Daily Driver, Need MPG

    My 68 barracuda has a 440 and 727 from a 78 New Yorker. In the new yorker I could coax 11 - 13 mpg after deleting Lean Burn. I have not calculated the since the mild performance rebuild and putting it in my baracuda but I am pretty sure I can watch the gas gauge dropping...

    RB Headers with Manual Transmission?

    I don't thi k the Schumacher will work with factory 4 speed without modifying the zbar. Have you used the search function? I am sure I have read past topics on which headers to use with a 4 speed. I have no clue how any header would work with a Tremec 6sp.

    Small Block Throttle cable

    Here ya go. This is with the riser I made. You can see the throttle cable just touches the linkage for the secondaries. When I mount it without the riser it gets bound up in an "S" shape.

    Small Block Throttle cable

    I must be my combo then. If I clamp it low the cable gets bound up on the linkages on the street demon carb that control the secondaries. Even up high the cable just barely touches them.

    Small Block Throttle cable

    Maybe it is just my combination then. When I tried to clamp the cable down on the main bracket it does not clear some of the carb linkages. I had to raise it up like the original clamp from the 78 NY, but without the offset. You can see the offset in this picture.

    Small Block Throttle cable

    Has anybody else modified their throttle bracket to use their stock small block throttle cable? I was looking at my big block bracket and the original small block bracket. I decided to make a piece so I could just use what I had. I noticed that I needed to move the clamp forward to almost...

    440/727 shifter?

    Success today. The original owner called today and I was invited over to look for the parts I needed. We found them and more. Got the kick down linkage and the shift and kick down arms as well.

    440/727 shifter?

    I should probably make sure I have the correct arm for the trans. The guy I bought the car from says he has them but hasn't found them yet. I want to have the car road ready by the first week of june.

    440/727 shifter?

    I am curious as to what you guys used for shifter on you auto applications. I have the factory console shifter but I am missing the torque bracket and the lower shift linkage. I am having no luck finding the linkage anywhere. Can a guy use a BM shifter with the center console?

    headers 440 dart

    I sprung for the ceramic coated tri-y. They fit well. I did need to add a little clearance to the passenger collector to add space between it and the torsion bar. Also had to notch a corner of the power steering. Other than that, a good fit in very confined space.

    383 Air Grabber on 440?

    Toying with the idea of a B - body 383 air grabber air cleaner on a 440 under the hood of a 68 barracuda. Has anyone used one in their A-body? Does the drop base work with A FB style carb? I currently have a 440 with CH4B and standard drop base air cleaner. I have to run a spacer to...

    What is your favorite performance muffler?

    I love the flow master sound, but will probably go with hemi style mufflers on the barracuda.

    Torker 2 vs Performer RPM?

    A 3000 stall doesn't mean the motor has to rev to 3000 before the car moves. My truck has one and it drives normally under light to moderate throttle input. Start mashing the throttle and it flashes to 3000 and hold there until everything catches up and the rpm start rising again. Truck has a...

    440 Build Help...Piston Delima

    I'm not finding a dished K hyper. The 440 has 3 choices according to their website. They offer the 237 flat tops with 5 cc valve notches, then stepped pistons for quench in open chamber heads. Personally I went with the KB237. My block was decked, but not 0. They sit .015 down. I come out to...

    440 Build Help...Piston Delima

    To clarify my earlier post, I thought the whiplash cams had the long overlap to give the performance sound and early intake closing to keep dynamic compression higher for low compression motors.

    440 Build Help...Piston Delima

    Hmm... I always thought the whiplash cams increased dynamic compared to similar duration cams by closing the intake sooner than the rest. Learn something new everyday.

    440 Build Help...Piston Delima

    dynamic compression is more vital which will depend on the cam you choose. You can run 11:1 with enough overlap. Keep dynamic in the 8:1 range and should be pump gas friendly depending on timing and such. I built my 440 under 8 for piece of mind.
