    340 rings

    Copy that and thanks. While I go you guys around how about bearings? On Mancini website for mains I see clevite 77 p series and sealed power being the cheaper. Building street motor, what do I need? Not afraid to buy more expensive ones. Same with rod bearing, they list clevite 77 p series...

    340 rings

    Also I will note, not sure if the pistons came with rings. When I got them I just made sure there was an .040 on the pistons and gave them to the machinist. Could have been underneath them in box but I doubt it.

    Vapor lock

    Take a look at your choke when it happens, I have 360 with 6 pack that I recently put on my 65 barracuda and my heat crossover is blocked as well. Sometimes when it’s hot and you pump it the choke will still slam shut and cause hard starting. I was told with those crossovers blocked the choke...

    Factory 68-71 340 727 specs

    Thanks my 69 will always be my first love but the e bodys are slick. Fire wall isn’t bad, lot of surface rust. Back half car is rough. Decklid, quarters, gutters, trunk floor all need replacing and usual floors need attention.

    Factory 68-71 340 727 specs

    Wheel Size for 1968 Barracuda

    Here is picture Of the 17”. They were deleted quickly but it could have been a backspacing problem more than tire size problem. But what I’m getting at is if you run the 235s when you set the car down carefully turn the wheels with someone watching and make sure you have comfortable distance

    Wheel Size for 1968 Barracuda

    I have 215/60/15 on front with 15x6. If you run 235s you maybe ok, you may fold your fender over in a turn I’m not 100% sure . Maybe there are some guys on here that run them that will chime in. Below is a photo where it can hit. I do know a 225/50/17 will hit and according to this tire...

    Wheel Size for 1968 Barracuda

    I run 255x60x15 on my fastback and I’m almost certain they 8” wheels from wheel vintiques. The 7” had a larger 4.25 backspacing and I just measure my front spacing quickly at 4” which would be 2.75 if I had 7”. I would be careful with the front, I have 215/60/15 on mine with no problem but...

    Leaf Spring Education Needed

    I’m not sure I can help with numbers but I had a 318 duster when I was 20, almost 20 years ago and I put super stock springs on it just because they were half the price of factory ones back then. They would be different sizes. Just a thought.

    Tall gears and 4-speeds

    I run a commando box (3.09 first gear) with 2.76 rear behind a mild 318 and it’s pretty good. Actually recently swapped them for 3.73s when gas started to skyrocket as I drive the car 90 miles a day if the sun is shining and actually prefer them over the 3.73s. First gear was super short and...

    68 cuda automatic to manual conversion

    I would pick up a used box and built it myself. I took a gamble on one for my 69 and it turned out to have a smoked rear main shaft bearing. I was intimidated about tearing it apart but once I did, I realized it not that complicated and I’m a just a dumb carpenter. Just need access to a press...

    Stuck in 1st gear

    I had the same problem on mine, the rear main bearing was smoked. It would allow so much fore and aft play in the main shaft that the synchronizers were going too far past the strut keys and locking it out. If you pull the side cover check main shaft endplay.

    Post Road Trip Blues

    I believe the voltage limiter on the back side of the instrument cluster ties these 3 together, maybe someone with more electrical knowledge will chime in
