Summit racing offers several versions of the American Ansen Sprint wheels. www.SummitRacing.com

For full race use, the OD trans. is not going to hold up nearly as well as an 18-spline (Hemi) a833.

I installed an 833OD trans behind my stout 440 and love the economy and performance. Check out Southwest Speed drive shafts on Ebay. After 2 years, my custom built shaft works great and cost well under $200.

There are several sellers on Ebay with surplus, low cost, racing drive-shafts. I bought an NOS, Southland Racing - NASCAR, 2.5" steel, shaft, (powder coated white for visibility), cut and welded to my request with Chrysler U-joints for under $200.. including shipping. Still holding up fine...

I don't know the exact ratio steps of the gears in my cast iron 833-OD. My 440 is rather stout and rear axle is 3.91, Hayes competition clutch and p. plate and stock 11" flywheel. In my street-driven 69 Barracuda, first gear is not really even needed except starting out on a VERY steep...

I bought and drove a 69 Roadrunner 20 years ago but had to sell it to makeup some house payments. The Mopar virus was still in my blood a few years later when I was smitten by a 69 Barracuda convertible rusting away on a side street. The kid was going to "fix-it-up someday". But I was hooked...

Red works well! My dad's variation on the saying was, "You don't get - what you don't pay for."

I recently completed a warmed-up 440, 4speed with a .68 OD & 3.91 x 8.75" rear axle, into a properly prepared 69 Barracuda. More power than I can get to the ground with Firehawk 275x15 radial street tires. Slicks and trac-bars would help but then I'll start breaking axles if I jump on it...

Consider a brand new long or short block from World or Mopar. What you save in machine work and don't have to worry about an old engines history of abuse will balance out. Plus the new castings are improved and the metallurgy is superior. New is cheap insurance. I think a Mopart Magnum...

My son ignored a phone while driving ticket from January. When he pays the $1900 total of fees and fines, he can get his license back. Burbank, CA

First, decide WHAT you want from your engine. Economy, many years of service, power to tow or a fire-belching tire burner. Then, find and talk to a good machinist about your plan. Mopar Muscle Magazine, (and others) have done several low-budget builds with building tips, parts and labor...

I installed a 26", 3 row radiator from a motor home and 2-12" puller fans and an electric water pump on my 69 Barracuda, 440. I estimate they save 25hp+ at speed. Overheating is never a problem, even here in the desert of inland southern California with this setup. After a few minutes cruising...

Got my 69 Cuda' 440 clone close to finished. The overdrive 4-speed install was a challenge but the new (designed for the 833 OD bearing), Lakewood scatter shield and E-body cast hypo exhaust manifolds, helped it fit with room to spare. Blue Sky Dynamics in Torrance did most of the final...

I have 2 small clamp-on SuperTrap units that I bought out of the VW EMPI catalogue a few years ago. When I need to have less noise (like when I drive in Beverly Hills), The 12 disc tips clamp on to any pair of 2" tailpipes in a couple of minutes and make a considerable reduction in sound...

Last month's Spring Fling was the biggest ever! I found some unobtanium parts and literature. Saw and heard some awsome cars and trucks. Even a VERY LOUD, early Hemi powered air-raid siren! Not the least of all was Jay Leno's Chrysler Turbine car. HE DROVE it there and stood around "talking car...

Beautiful pictures of the 2007 Spring Fling. See even more this year...2010! See details at http://www.cpwclub.com.html

The gold hood in at the end of the back row, is my 69, 340S, convertible. First time I've seen her on the internet. I am going also to bring my (just-finished) 440 C'UDA clone. Come see how I got an A833 overdrive trans to fit in front of a 3.91 8.75" with no body modifications.

Biggest ALL MOPAR show and swap, west of the Mississippi, I expect 400+ Mopars and 200+ vendors. Van Nuys is in northern L.A. County, CA. Come be inspired!! buy or sell parts or cars. I'll have my gold, 69, 340S Barracuda convertible and my just finished 69 C'UDA 440 4-speed, over-drive...

A couple of weeks ago my son appeared in court on the date as required per the ticket. The traffic officer didn't show.. case was dismissed.

Just finished a cast iron 833 conversion to stock MOPAR OD components. The Mopar (only) shop that built the trans for me assured me that it will handle the power from my built 440 as long as I don't use slicks or totally thrash it. I couldn't afford the Passion kit. Time will tell...

I meant to say 833's weren't a factory offering with "RB" engines.. in A-body cars. I bought my K-frame, spool mounts, HD tortion bars and anti-sway bar as a kit from DLI Enterprises here in Northridge over 10 years ago. Dick said it had come from an M code car and was the best way to go for a...

I recently converted my (original slant-6, 3-speed) 69 Barracuda to a 440/4-speed OD street terror. I used the new Lakewood scattershield designed for the A-body BB. It was a ton of work and cu$tom fabrication. I would go with auto trans next time. From my research Ma Mopar didn't ever offer...

I don't know the trouble with your existing manifolds.. maybe get a second opinion. 340 ($$) stock cast exhausts have been considered the best production manifolds for performance for years. A couple of years ago Mopar Muscle Magazine did a comparison and the 360 manifolds were nearly as free...

I have been a garage door repairman in Los Angeles for 21 years. I come across MANY cars that have barely any surface rust at all and if not banged up..are straight and sound structurally. We get maybe 10-20 rainy days a year and everything dries out in a day or 2 if not in mere hours. Rag-tops...

Nordskog Instruments, were originally designed for race boats. Their speedometers work on GPS signals and are basically plug-n-play. Their multi-function meters can solve some space problems. M

Not a problem with my 68 & 69 Barracudas but, it sounds like an air venting problem with earlier cars. My tanks will COMPLETLY fill then the auto-stop will shut off the pump. If I then try to top off the tank, (even just a little bit) gas will immediatly over flow from the filler neck...
