seal the area between the rad. and front , like all the new cars , forcing the air into the rad. , instead of having a path over it into the engine bay . Helped mine ...

wife and I both got a kick out of this one .. still lol ! always an original trekky here , the later ones NOT !

the earth is not flat ! william shatner checked !

LOL, WRONG VEHICLE ! No pics at this time , 110h.p. , 4 wheel drive , 18'' of suspension , single center seat , looks like a roundy round modified , gage and all. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------good to see you back on here...

I havent fallen into a black hole , I did fall/buy into a polaris rs1 , and have about lost all interest in the barracuda , as of now . Even thinking of selling it . Have torn rotator cuff in right shoulder , and u guessed it , I`m right handed .

I had to got 250# springs eventually , have the 500 and 300 laying on the bench-------

not sure what ur intended usage is , but that black gas pipe aint legal for nhra-------

500 pound springs are going to ride like a go cart, ask me how I know! I have a almost new pair of 300 pound springs when u get ready !

sounds like he wrote a few checks too me ------for everything !

did you ever drive a brand new 68 formula S ??

I disagree with the above posts , I had a new 383 form S in 1968, it handled very well , I remember running off from a hugger camaro of the day , in the ozarks , he couldn`t come close to keeping up with me !

I still think Bill Jenkins built the first one , to try to keep up w/ Sox-Martin . I read about nhra inspecting it as the first one , back then . All the others followed suit to keep up .

kick A$$ !!

Kick a$$ , but I gotta wonder why butch didnt build his own , did he not build his own stuff back in the day ? Saw him at Tulsa one time , was right in the hunt , maybe even won one there --------?

MOST ALL PEOPLE THINK THOSE ARE 1/8'' NPT , BUT , THAY ARE JUST A HAIR DIFF. THATS WHY SO MANY BRASS FITTINGS BREAK OFF , BEING OVERTIGHTENED .

ON MINE OFFSET SPRING HANGARS PUT THE SPRINGS DIRECTLY UNDER THE INNER WHEEL HOUSE EDGE , IF UR GOING TO PUT THE SPRINGS IN THE FRAME RAILS , U WOULD STILL HAVE THE SAME INNER CLEARANCE !

lol , same here , not dr. diffs offset stuff tho--differant wheels now --no currant pics, and springs have settled to tire being even w/ the top of the well 295 60 d15 front of fenderwells contoured to match inner fender panel

Wow , first time I`ve read of someone w/ the exact wheel backspace I use , tho mine are 8 1/2'' wide .

Yeah but , u either got the pistons down in the hole a bunch at tdc , or a very small cam --------?? still following .

AMEN TO THAT !

Let us know how the camaro spoiler fits the barracuda , I`ve been thinking about the same thing------bob

what about piston to valve clearance ? I dont get it !

I musta missed something , pistons so far down in the hole they dont need valve reliefs ?? And kick a$$ top end ? Still following .

Looks like this is the best build thread I `ve seen on here !!

diggin it , always wanted to move a firewall ! KEEP IT COMING!

Did that on a hot 406 sbc GMC shortbed once, I made alum. pins to hold the hose onto the nipples in the rad. cradle , that way I could pull the pins and remove the hose to take the air cleaner off quickly .

KICK ***, BUT WITH A R/B AND RAISED PORT HEADS THAT WONT EVEN WORK ON MINE , GOT ABOUT 5/8'' CLEARANCE AT THE MOST ON THE PASS SIDE. AND ITS FULL OF WIRING HARNESS ------------ LIKE THE ORANGE TOO .

Thats gonna cost some coin .

Me either on the mech. bit , but I try ------lol

I replumbed my whole car with a rolled line from jegs , about 10 yrs ago, didnt put not one split flair in , if they split they aint right , after 50 plus yrs of being a plumber , I think I got this right .
