I would presume this comparison between a 360 and 383 would have similar compression ratios, cam, etc. to base a decent comparison.

I had a 71 340 Cuda and my best friend had a 383 Super Bee, similar hop ups. We raced many times and although my car with a four speed and better handling was funner to drive. His Bee would consistently be a car length or two faster than mine. I would say they were close enough in power that I...

Going to the junkyard just isn’t the same anymore…

In E-bodies it is easy. A BH is a base Barracuda. In 69, a A56 (Cuda) or A53 (Formula S) would be an upgrade in trim, engine, and suspension by definition of the upgrade package over the base model. A non A56 or A53 would be a base car which could be ordered with some of the options of the A56...

Nothing, because a standard Barracuda optioned with a 340 is still a base Barracuda. Just like a 70 challenger ordered with all the RT options and a 340 is still a base Challenger.

When I owned my 383-s, I called it a 383-S because that was much easier to say than it is 69 Formula-S with a 383. Calling it a 383-s was purely a matter of convenience.

Oops, I guess I did.

Fender tag and window sticker. No torque boxes. I even spoke with the original owner and he provided me a video when the car was new.

LOL, it came with a 383. Badging on the fender says 383-S, which means it is a Formula S with a 383 engine. One of the oddities of my 69 was that it did not come with torque boxes, front or rear.

My current project is a 71 Barracuda, a BHG car. Although I am decking it out with Cuda trim, it will always be a base Barracuda. I sometimes hear it crying in the shop...I wish I was born a Cuda, is what it whimpers!

I would say the proof would have to be very convincing to say a non A53 fender tagged car is a Formula-S. Mamopar has made mistakes and theoretically could miss the A53 on the fender tag. The dealer could have installed the Formula-S stuff to make a "clone" from day one, I guess.

Yeah baby!

Here is a window sticker for a 69 383-s I owned for 25 years. This car is a fastback barracuda with the Formula-S package. The 383 was chosen as one of the sizes of engines being available, the other being a 340. I have never heard the argument that my car is a 383-s, not a Formula-S. The rear...

I have seen a lot of e-body Cudas customized and I can honestly say that none of them look better than a stock Cuda.

Having a manual seems to be stopping some thieves…

Willy’s had block numbers tied to the VIN in 1948?

I think it would be cool.

Really nice, however, it is a personal thing that I really don't like billboards that much. Although I think satin black billboards on a TX9 Cuda looks pretty good.

I do like the round marker lights on the 8, but I wouldn't go to the trouble of putting them on a 7.

So is it a sin to put 70 Cuda hockey stripes on a 71 Barracuda instead of the big *** billboards?

The bottom pictures, at least in the area pictured looks solid.

Sounds like the GTS stuff was put on another body.

Just need to search for a hemi install in a 67-76 A-body. Notchback is same.

Sanding!

I had my B5 383-s fastback in a show and Dean brought the white one.

Hey Moparmarks, are you the dude that owned the export 71 Hemi Cuda convertible that was in Grand Junction in the middle 90’s?

Just what is that housing for? Is it really worth saving?

Are you trying to save the axle or do you just want the center chunk. You could cut the tub to remove the axle, the axle might be good.

150 MW nuclear reactor powering CGN-36 USS California, although it would only do around 35 knots.
