Howdy all! Finally getting back to my 64 Barracudas 408. I bought a used, running engine, scat crank, scat rods icon pistons with scat crank, all in a late LA 360 that had the factory roller cam. Presumably the cheapest 408 kit that places like summit sell, but want (need) a positive ID on...

Parts of this vintage are kind hard to source here locally. Have a WTB ad on Facebook market place locally figuring I'd find a horder around here somewhere with a yard full of what I need. Also was told Dakota 10 drum stuff will work, I'll keep looking!

Ok, good to know.

I nee I need the parts in the picture on the yellow plate, these parts are for a 9 inch drum and used for reference.

Missing some 10 by 2-1/2 rear drum brake parts, hoping to find them here on the cheap. Not crazy about buying stuff online but if it works it works. Located in northern California

. It's an 8-3/4 rear end with large bolt pattern. the picture on the yellow plate are the parts I'm missing. The other is the parts I have. Don't really remember where I was on this it was so long ago. Like I had...

Getting back to putting my 64 Barracuda back together, after close to 10 years and two moves it's a bit overwhelming. Found every last piece to the 9 inch rear drums it had on it, and after looking and looking I found most of the 10 by 2-1/2 brakes I was going to put on. Missing are the e-brake...

lifters only ticked for a minute or so after the car sat for a bit. Not really a major concern, just thought I'd put a new set in with the new cam. Don't want any problems and it will be apart.......

I recently purchased a used 408, heard it run, saw it drive all sounded good with the exception of a ticking lifter. So I'm in the process of going half way through it, different cam, new intake carb etc. So I just need to choose which brand of lifter. Melling, speed pro, and Crower were the...

Trying to put together a 73 Duster for my buddy and his kid. This thing is pretty beat down, already finished the floor pans, now to the windows. the style of regulator the car has (73) has vertical flat slides with rollers, looks like 5 total rollers. I have donor doors that came off what I...

Actually found it on a related link, the 73 is the longer one.

I have one 1973 duster 318/904, and one 1971 demon 340/4speed. Now both are completely apart and gather things together to sell the Demon and somehow the two driveshafts I have are three inches different in length. Now both cars have 8-3/4 rearends, but I suspect the 73 Dusters was swapped in. I...

I didn't mean to crush any dreams with my comment. Just trying to point out the potential pitfalls of major frame reconstruction, even (especially) journeyman body guys would probably tell you the same, and when considering shop labor rates these days (especially in CA) and whatever a fair body...

Hey! I've got a working 904 pushbutton with cables and levers from a 64 Barracuda, here in Northern Ca. It was in my 64 and was working (slight oil leak where cables enter trans) when I pulled it out a couple years ago to go 727. Has a flange for the trunion style driveshaft, torque converter too!

I know I come from a different time but, just get another chassis. The $150 is nothing compared to what it costs to re-roof or front halving a car. Unless you've already done something like this, and I'm guessing you haven't, frame rails/ roof replacement isn't a beginners job, and poorly done...

Soooo..... yes snowballing. I've played this game before. I'd take some pics but at this point everything is covered with nasty sludge and nothing notable as of yet. However, the block is at the machine shop to get bored, the 318 heads will go on a 318 I have for another Duster, and I have a set...

That's the info I was looking for , thanks! I was scratching my head on that. I have two cars here, a 1971 Demon and a 1973 ( 8-72) duster,Dmon has 10 inch front 10 inch rear. Duster has 9 inch front and 10 rear. The upper ball joint looks significantly larger on the taper part of the shaft and...

I've got a 1973 duster, production date is 08-72. Now it appears to have a big upper ball joint, yet sports 9 inch drum brakes in the front, and has 5 on 4 lugs as well. Now I thought all big ball joint upper arms came with 5 on 4.5 lug pattern. Now trying to figure what disc conversion would...

I'm currently working on a 73 Duster 318, with 9 inch drums in the front and 10 inch drums in the rear. I'm figuring it didn't come that way ( should be 9 all around right?). So I'm good with the 10 inch rear, but trying to figure out what to do in the front. Now I've been looking at Scarebird...

I got the engine torn down for inspection and found the whole engine appears to have been re-built at some point in time, not really what I was told but figure it is par for the course. The original heads appear to have been replaced by some 273/318 heads, a little disappointed at that, the...

Unearthed a demon 340 from a neighbors yard that had been sitting ten years in the same spot. Working on dis-assembly and managed to get 6 pistons out so far (the others are soaking in ATF / penetrating oil). It has the forged crank, factory looking windage tray, etc. The question is what to...

I'm about to order some floor pan halves for my 71 demon and I know quality can vary dramatically from manufacturer to manufacturer. Who's got the best deal going, cost and quality?

I just picked up a 71 demon with 340 4spd, bench seat, which seems like an odd pairing and was wondering how to calculate just how many came like this. The production numbers I can find just say X amount with vinyl, or X amount high impact color, etc. But nothing like X amount with high impact...

Thanks for the tip, sounds like a good idea

We were thinking that the cam bearing alignment was the problem. There is very little oil getting to the pushrod cup, I would expect to see more, especially on a cam with over.600 lift. I know on Chevys there is a problem with too much oil in the top end at high revs, this seems just the...

I'm helping a friend with his engine (roller 408), and he is hearing a slight valvetrain noise. Now he had his engine rebuilt at a performance shop with a decent reputation, however the more we look at it, the less we think of the reputation. On breaking it in we were a little disapointed in...
