    Barracuda with Rodlites. I do not have any pictures of my Barracuda with Rodlites. Agree 255/60 on the rear look good. Currently have Centerline wheels on the car. I rotate wheels for a different look every now and then.

    Tire Advice for 1968 Barracuda

    15 255 60 MT Drag Radials fit well on the rear with 15X8 4.5 wheels with 4.5 backspace. There is over an inch of space between the wheel and rear leaf spring on both sides. No rear quarter pannel to tire clearance issues as well (good clearance). I am thinking about 15 195 65 tires up front. It...

    I have a 650 CFM Holley double pumper spread bore carb. It worked very well when it was on my 340. I have not used the carb in 30 plus years, so it will require a new gasket and rebuild kit. I will sell it for $50 if you are interested.

    small block pulleys

    I am assuming that your 68 340 is internally balanced. If my assumption is correct, you have a few decisions to make. Is this a street only car? Street/strip car? Or race only? How important is an SFI rating to you? A few good SFI rated balancers are ATI, FluidDampr, and Pro-Race PRP. I have...

    We need to know what harmonic balancer you are using as well to give advice on the correct crankshaft and water pump pulley. Stock? Aftermarket?

    small block pulleys

    If you do not have the timing chain cover, radiator or water pump, go with the 70 and up style set up. The advantages are as follows: (1) The timing chain cover has the timing marks on the driver side of the vehicle. (2) You can use the aluminum water pump. (3) All of the parts (water pump...

    Hayden 2765 fan clutch, more room?

    I like a minimum of 1/2 inch clearance between the clutch and radiator. I have about 1 inch of clearance between the radiator and clutch. The fan is about a 1/2 to 3/4 of the way into the shroud.

    Are number matching or original components a big deal?

    69-70 340 heads ... 2.02 intakes

    The price of a pair of X or J heads. That's a good question. The prices are all over the place for a good set. However, if you want to sell them, price them in $300-600 range. The problem is lining up the right customer. If someone is restoring a vehicle and wants date code correct X or J heads...

    416 1/4 mile times

    I think you will run low 12s or high 11s. If you have good air, temperature and traction, I bet you will run a few high 11-second passes. I took my 68 Barracuda to the drag strip for the first time since I built a 416 for her a few weeks ago. I was very concerned about traction. However, the...
