    What's it worth? 318 w/some performance parts

    I miss the good old days. The barracuda in my icon I bought for $750 and it came with a 273HP complete engine and an extra mostly rebuilt 318. That about how much I paid for this engine tranny combo because I'm impatient. Most of the blocks or cores were going for 200-300 around here and then...

    What's it worth? 318 w/some performance parts

    Well I'm probably crazy or at least impatient because I went ahead and bought the engine/tranny from the guy. I could be screwed, but I don't think so. I'm counting on my instincts that the dude was being straight up. I mean usually you can tell when you're dealing with someone who is trying to...

    What's it worth? 318 w/some performance parts

    don't have those, didn't even think to ask...assuming they aren't anything special like the 302s or even close chambered heads. (but I don't even know what that means...just heard it on Uncle Tony's YouTube channel)

    Will a 318 from a 73 barracuda drop in a 71 Plymouth Scamp?

    I know this is my first Scamp restoration project (my 4th a-body) but... THAT'S HILARIOUS! - I'll make sure I change over the head lights to them LED ones to lighten up the front end to make it faster and to give enough clearance. :) Love your avatar picture krazykuda!

    What's it worth? 318 w/some performance parts

    I don't think so, look like stock heads except for the rollers on them. I'd think if they were the ad would have said so.

    What's it worth? 318 w/some performance parts

    Just in case someone can identify the rollers?

    What's it worth? 318 w/some performance parts

    How much would you guys be willing to pay for a used engine, pulled, w/unknown miles? I believe the "Harland Sharp roller rockers" is incorrect simply because I've only seen the orange-ish gold colored ones & the ones pictured in the ad are red. It would be great if I could just pull it apart...

    Will a 318 from a 73 barracuda drop in a 71 Plymouth Scamp?

    I had a brainstorm and looked up the oil pickup tube on RockAuto hoping that would indicate the oil pans being compatable because they didn't have oil pans. Holy cow the same part was used across quite a few cars. So I'm hopeful. I can certainly handle motor mounts and the such. Part...

    Will a 318 from a 73 barracuda drop in a 71 Plymouth Scamp?

    Thinking about throwing a running 318/904 combo out of an e-body into my a-body that came originally with a 318/904. Anyone know if the oil pan, headers, and such will "just drop in"? I'm assuming I'll have to run exhaust either way so no biggie there. I really just want something to take my...

    So if that's the description of a Four Oh Ape (408) in an A-body...what would describe a run of the mill 300ish HP 360? I've only had \6 Barracuda(s) and one stock 273 that I drove nicely because I couldn't afford a ticket back then and if I were being honest I don't remember exactly how fast...

    Well it's been almost a month, a few more hick-ups with my dad in the hospital, a few more cars were looked at and I ended up with a 1971 318/auto A/C, PS, manual drum brakes, black int, white exterior, black vinyl top car. Body shop already did the majority of the body work, new spare tire...

    Need some purchasing advice

    I prefer the darts / scamps before they got the extra "beak" in the hood and the 5mph bumper spacers. BUT I do like stick & I don't even hate the \6, can do quite a bit with that using the Clifford performance parts (or put in a v8...but I think K members for that might be getting hard to find...

    Need some purchasing advice

    Yes, I got to go look at it. BUT then I had to drive down to FL to help take care of my dad in the hospital. Longest week ever in ICU and then some recovery. I just talked to my wife to make sure she wouldn't shut me down because you know money just starts flying out the window once we buy...

    Now don't go buying it out from under me :-) I knew I shouldn't have posted pictures. :-) At least isn't such a great deal that everyone will be out scouring for the ad...I hope.

    What's the chances of the first reply being someone from the same neck of the woods? I'm in North West GA too. I've never actually restored a car to make money. I just want to drive something I like and hope I can upgrade the brakes enough to not plow into the Toyota or Honda that doesn't...

    Once upon a time back in the day I've had a 67, 68, & 69 Barracuda(s). Always loved my 69 notch back the best. However apparently no one ever bough barracudas in Georgia because they are super hard to find in decent shape. I've moved on to looking for a Dart. Not a lot of luck with that...
