I’m hoping someone could help me. I have a 1965 barracuda and quite awhile ago I removed the old automatic floor shifter and ground off the old brackets so I could install a promatic hurst shifter and I had work on the tunnel. I just laid down sound deadening and realized I should have figured...

I have a 65’barracuda that has a beautiful set of sbp 15x4.5 steelies. I’m wondering which size tires will work to give me the widest and tallest option? I’m using the wheels all away around until I can acquire something wider for the rear. I heard 215/65/15 would be ok but wasn’t sure about...

I’m a bit nervous here because I put together my magnum 360 with a long snout cam from Hughes but did not use the cam washer and bolt. I had a ton of parts on my work bench and just now found the washer and bolt. Never noticed any issues when I put the engine together? It’s my first build...

I read some articles about dip stick length but I wondered if some one could give me a measurement for the stick itself. I installed a summit quart center sump for an la motor. The dipstick is a mr. Gasket chrome housing/dipstick for a la 318. I do not have the magnum dipstick, I tossed it in...

So I am getting ready to install my new cloyes 3028x timing chain set (double roller). I then realized I did not purchase a timing chain guide (tensioner). I read at one time I didn’t want to use a guide with a double roller chain because the guides let off plastic.? Is my logic off? I am...

Hello, I just purchased a Hughes SER1418 ALN-10 cam. I am new to doing a cam install and really wanted to do it myself so I can learn. I understand that I can line up the dots on the crank shaft and cam shaft for install. I also know that I can purchase a cam installation kit that...

Hey everyone, I know this is waaay over done on questions about engine brackets but I have been spending a lot of time trying to find the information that I know is on here without success. I have early A body brackets made based off of a V8 1965 model like the ones on year...

Last piece I need for the body. The one I have is too far gone.

I have a 1965 barracuda and I am putting in a mag 360. It will be carburetor and electric fuel pump, short snout comp. cam. I have read a lot about HEI type distributors but I also understand they are tight under the hood. I think I am gonna use an electronic distributor from a 73’ duster, a...

I did something potentially stupid. I removed the odometer to clear garbage out and now it won’t go back in or spin. Anyone could help that would be great. Also a pick of how the tabs on the numbers line up with the straight piece in the back would be great. Thought it would simple . Oops?

Hey fellas! Just got done spraying my instrument cluster with a “chrome paint” that actually looks awesome. Figured I’d pass on the paint with a pic of the can and finished piece. Seems like it’s darn close to what it looked like original. A lot of chrome paint is pretty crappy or a silver...

Hey everyone, Gathering parts for my magnum 360 and found a street avenger 670 carb for $100. I’m wondering if it would be a good partnering. I will have an edelbrock air gap, Dougs headers, a Hughes cam SB HYD RLR CAM 214/218 -110ºLSA, and stock heads. Any advice would be great. It’s...

I am building a 5.9 magnum for my 1965 Barracuda. I am trying to figure out how big of a cam can I install without changing out rocker arms and push rods? I have already gotten installed the Hughes kit 1110 springs and retainers. I was recommended the Hughes cam ser1418ALN-10 they call the...

Can I use b- body 1966 318 engine brackets for my 1965 barracuda? Person thought they were the same. Dude is local so it would be ideal to purchase. Thanks.

Found d150 engine brackets that were v8 for the same year car I have. Are they the same as the 1965 Barracuda engine brackets for the 273? If so I’ll buy those and modify for a magnum 360?

Hello, I recently took my heads in for a freshening up for my 5.9 but both came back cracked. Issue I’m having is it seems the EQ iron heads are not being sold anymore? What other heads are out there for Magnum 5.9’s? I am not taking the car to the track but wondered if there were heads...

Searched a bit but couldn’t find the exact question answered do here goes. Can I use 273 engine brackets on my 360 magnum? If so is it the same others have shown moving from a 273 to an la318? I’m a good welder so that wouldn’t be a problem. I was set on Schumacher but seems that’s a dead end.

After some searching and digging I haven’t been able to locate a source for 360 brackets for my 65’ barracuda until I noticed classic industries are selling brackets and mounts for a 63-66 a body s-6 to 360 conversion kit. I think this is new info I thought I’d share? They say “coming soon”? I...

I might be able to purchase a fiberglass deck lid on the cheap. Only issue is the customer doesn’t know if it was off a 66 or 65 barracuda. I’m figuring a 66 because the bumper the is selling is a 66. Are they the same? From what I searched they seem to interchange? Just don’t want to drive...

So I had removed the lead from my barracuda and forgot to take pics of the topside of the quarter panel where it ties into the b pillar. Chrysler has some hellacious seams underneath the lead. Could someone take a pic of what shape that is in finished? The part where the trim attaches on top...

I’m in the middle of figuring out which cam I should run on my magnum 360. I want to keep stock heads, lifters, and rockers. I will go get the Hughes retainers and springs. Going eddy intake and carb. So is there a problem with a lunati short snout cam? Figured I’m going to run an electric...

Hey wondered if anyone could give me insight on the panel that is carpeted over the spare tire. Mine did not have one. I’ve seen in other posted it’s carpeted but what is the size and shape and material that the carpet sits on? 1/4 plywood or card boardish material? My trunk area was a mess...

Hello, I am on the market for headers for my 65’ Barracuda that will have a 360 magnum installed. I found a set of supposed a-body long tube headers from hedman on face book and wanted input whether they would fit in the car? I’m leaning toward no but I’m still learning about a bodies...

Hey everyone, I am preparing my 65’ barracuda for primer in the engine bay. I got to thinking that I should prolly cut some openings for the fender well headers before paint. Dilemma is not sure which headers I should plan for and what sized opening I should cut? Great pics on here...

I have a 65 barracuda with paint code kk1. The color looks pretty awesome under the carpet I lifted up. I had some shop line mixed up from Ppg and it looks not very vibrant. Apparently Ppg only offers shopline and no deltron. Anyone use a company that offers some more vibrance? Or is that...

Came across a 8 3/4 rear end housing from a 71 duster. Before I buy it will it fit under my 65 barracuda? I would assume so. Or are spring perches different? It would be a local pickup. Still learning about a bodies and don’t want to get burned. Thanks everyone.

So I know the engine paint question has been beat to death but couldn’t find the answer to my exact question. I was going to buy rustoleum IH red farm implement paint but it looked really dark. Someone mentioned that the new stuff is way off from the old IH shade of red? Is that true? It’s...

I tried to find an answer to my question but couldn’t. Are 64’ and 65’ valiant hoods the same? Also would both fit and work for my 65’barracuda? I’m still learning about early a bodies. A guy has one for sale and I don’t want to drive 4 hours and get burned. Thanks everyone.

I’m getting ready to buy a water pump for my 5.9 magnum. I am planning on installing the eddy airgap intake. Any suggestions on the water pump? The motor is going in a 65’ Barracuda if it matters. This site and its members have been awesome to me so your advice is well taken.

Wondered if someone could clear something up about a door correct issue. So I bought a supposed 1965 dart door for my 1965 Barracuda but the lock cylinder hole is circular but my Barracuda other door is a small hole with a notch. Wondered what I really have here and if I’m screwed because the...
