This rare frame/chassis is in amazing overall condition with only surface rust. It comes with complete as shown in the photos including tires and rims. It is in such good condition that we just can't bring ourselves to cut it up and dispose of it as scrap metal without trying to find it a home...

I'm about to dive into a full restomod for a buddy on a 1959 Dodge Sweptline 1/2 ton pickup. I did see that people have used Crown Victoria front suspensions on the later '61 to '74 Sweptlines, but I haven't seen anything for the earlier trucks. I also saw an expensive custom front end with rack...

A few years back, I welded on a pair of high-flow, metal substrate racing catalytic converters to my 3" TTi behind the collectors on my '68 EFI'd Magnum based 408 stroker. The overlap on the cam is pretty decent with 246* & 252* at .050" & 108* LSA. I didn't do any back to back timed runs, but...

I upgraded to Koni shocks front and rear on my '68 Barracuda over 10 years ago. When the front shocks failed a few weeks ago, I switched to QA1 Stocker Star shocks and love them. Background: It's a convertible, is rust free and I welded in a complete US Cartool Chassis Stiffening kit...

I installed the new distributor from Progression Ignition in my RB based stroker motor a few days ago, and wanted to post a bit of feedback on my results with it. I had been running an MSD Pro-billet locked out and set at 35*. My 10.2 to 1 aluminum headed motor loved that setting, never hard...

I found this product being discussed over on Moparts, and bought one. I currently have an MSD Pro-billet with a digital 6-AL box locked out at 35* on my RB. I wanted to add vacuum advance for better efficiency on long road trips. They have a 10% off code of "virus10", which basically paid for...

Does anyone have any design considerations or input on this type of a piston? How thick the top should be, how far down the ring pack should be etc? Are there any off the shelf pistons that are of a high quench reverse dome design that are proven? I'm looking to upgrade my 408" stroker Magnum...

A few years back I installed a new stock tank, a 3/8's" sending unit w/ a 1/4' return. I was converting my '68 Barracuda convertible from a Slant 6 to an injected Magnum set-up. I decided to run a surge tank set-up to avoid issues when the tank became less than 2/3's full. I had modified my...

A buddy of mine is looking for a nearly rust free used or a source for a reproduction roof skin to his 68 fastback Barracuda. I don't know of anyone reproducing them, but though one of you folks might. Any leads would be appreciated.

I recently replaced the differential in my 8 3/4 with a blueprinted Sure Grip unit from Doctor Diff. I was getting a high speed 95+ vibration and the passenger side Green Stripe bearings were getting noisy after a few thousand miles. The driveline was smooth until I exceed 95 mph, and then a...

I'll post some pics and update with the final result of my factory ECM controlled EFI'd 5.9 (actually a 408 or 6.6 Magnum) being set-up, run for baseline & tuned with a wideband on a dyno this morning. I'm running 40 lbs Ford racing injectors, a surge tank style fuel system, a Hughes Big Mouth...

Hi and thanks in advance. I sent my assembled 1968 Barracuda grills out to be restored. It was so expensive to get redone, that I had the shop focus on restoring the surrounds and they also cleaned up my existing parts really nicely. The parts came back looking great, especially the aluminum...

My cam has significant overlap, so the car smells rich at idle even running at 14.5 A/F. I started researching what guys are doing to combat the smell, and found a lot of guys run the high flow race catalytic converters with very good results. Anyone have any experience with this. I have a...

I found a nice working 150 mph speedometer for my 1968 Barracuda. I had it serviced and cleaned. All I still need is the small knob for resetting the trip meter. Preferably one that is not corroded. Thanks!

I bought the universal GEN IV kit to put in my '68 A-Body, because they don't have a Perfect Fit kit available for this A-Bodies yet. The evaporator unit is their top shelf evaporator with electronically controlled servos that use a dedicated, dash-mounted control panel. The evaporator fits...

While exercising my '68 convertible Barracuda during the Spring Fling Track Day a few weeks ago, I experienced a deep, high-resonnant frequency vibration when the car was in excess of about 105 mph. The vibration became more intense as I increased my speed increased past 130 mph, and went away...

Thought some of you may be surprised to hear a '68 Barracuda convertible with a 410hp EFI'd 408" 5.9 Magnum, 200R4, 3.91's and slapper bars took 1st place out of an 18 car field including a final round win against a 6 speed Hellcat. Sure surprised a lot of folks including myself. It was close...

I had my EFI tuner bump up the stock ECM rev-limiter by 500 rpm, because sometimes it hitting the factory rev-limiter just before my modified 200R4 would shift into 2nd at wide open throttle. I believe he told me the factory rev limit is 6100 rpm, and the trans should shift just above that rpm...

If you need some parts. It's time to start shopping around ie Schumacher, Classic Industries etc

This is a special Merry Christmas story for all you Mopar fans out there. Mopar people are an eclectic collection of folks with an amazing amount of knowledge and experiences, plenty of good spirits and a shared love of Mopars. I'm proud to be one amoung you. Take a Mopar guy like Jamie...

I saved 25% on dash bezels, a factory style tach and new lenses for my '68 convertible. No tax either. I never though I would pull the trigger on these parts, but my car sure did need them. The dash is such a huge part of a car's interior, and mine looked like crap. Now I just have to swap...

My 5.9 stroker Magnum was smoking on hard acceleration in 3rd and 4th gear. It wouldn't do it in 1st or 2nd....so I though. I suspected bad baffling in the valve covers causing the PCV system to suck oil, which it did a bit. I thought maybe my intake was sucking oil, my rings hadn't seated fully...

I purchased a pair of Moog Problem Solver lower ball joints for my '68 Barracuda convertible. The pair that I put in there when I went through the suspension 3 or 4k miles ago were worn out? My alignment guy lifted the front of the car to make enough room for a prybar to lip under the tire and...

I stopped by a local recycler and weighed my 1968 Barracuda convertible with a newly installed injected, aluminum-headed 408"-stroked 5.9 Magnum, automatic overdrive w/ lock-up converter, A/C, 4 wheel disc w/ big bolt pattern wheels, 8 3/4 rearend and a full tank of gas + spare. The first...

I was getting significant smoking during high rpm especially during hard upshifts on my fresh ( < 150 miles) 408 stroker motor that is based on a 2001 5.9 Magnum block. I was praying that it wasn't the rings not seating. It didn't smoke at all at low or moderate rpm, and it wouldn't do it...

I full-bypass, plumbed some Edelbrock fuel rails with #6 braided line and 30# 2-hole injectors from FiveoMotorsport. I hand made some hold down brackets out of some plain strap steel. It came out solid as a rock and doesn't look too bad, as most of the straps are somewhat hidden between the...

Lots of cleaning, painting and assembling parts. I've never done the Chevy style rocker arms that the aluminum Edelbrock's use. I have the Hughes stainless 1.6 to 1's and the hardened pushrods, but the guide plates all came loose with the bolts not tightened. I torqued the heads on per the...

I built a 408ci stroker to replace a junkyard motor that had 145 to 150 psi in all cylinders except #2. The new motor is a stock Magnum block with a Hughes bottom end and their CNC Super Prep heads with a few extra hours of hand blending in the bowls etc. I'm running one of their Dave...

The Background: The 1968 Barracuda I picked up about 10 years ago started out with a poorly tuned, rebuilt slant 6 with maybe 85k miles on it. It was a nice, rust free California car that spent most of it's life in a garage when not being driven. It had freshly rebuilt 9 inch drum brakes on...

Regarding the tone ring holes for 4.2 to 5.9 Magnums, how far away does any metal need to be from behind the hole for it to still to work? My new torque converter was built using a large round plate that the torque converter bolts to. When test fitting the torque converter, I noticed there's...
