    64 barracuda 273

    When hp ratings went from gross to net, 318s went from 230 gross to 150 net, despite everything being the same - CR etc. 340s only dropped from 275 to 240 despite losing two full points of CR and having smaller intake valves. From that, I'd guess the 318's gross hp rating was a lot more...

    Put it in a blast cabinet. Probably clean right up.

    64 barracuda 273

    The heads won't make any difference (assuming they have the same combustion chamber size as your 273 heads), but the four barrel will. But don't expect muscle car performance. We put a four barrel and dual exhaust on my Mom's 64 Barracuda (using the rare Edelbrock 4-barrel intake for the early...

    452 heads on a 1965 Wedge ?

    If your 65 motor has its original steel shim head gaskets, switching to Fel Pro .039 inch thick gaskets will lower the CR probably close to half a point. But I doubt the original CR was actually 10.3 to one. If the motor is in the car now and running, I'd drive it and see how it does. My...

    Big Valve X Heads on Low Comp 72 340

    Back in the day (1978), I put some cheap Blackjack headers in my otherwise stock low-compression daily driver 73 Duster 340, 3.21 open rear, and picked up over half a second in the quarter (15.0s to 14.40s). Would have done even better, but the headers gave me so much more low end that now I...

    Post your self portraits!

    My wife and I both are senior citizens with pre-existing conditions (among other things, she has Lupus). So we hunkered down for over a year until vaccines were available, going out as little as possible. Until then, we wore masks whenever we did go out. I hated wearing them, but I hated...

    '65 Barracuda Interior moldings under rear window

    And in 63 they did not offer a black interior. I only found that out several years after I re-did my 63 Valiant convertible interior in black.

    '65 Barracuda Interior moldings under rear window

    The 66 interior was white with gold carpet, gold dash pad, gold metal and gold seat belts.

    '65 Barracuda Interior moldings under rear window

    I forgot, because the carpet that's in my 65 now doesn't, but the original carpet on it and the 66 wrapped around the ends of the compartment side panels and covered that painted area. The panel butted up against the carpet, so you could not see the metal color (but my 65's was white). This...

    '65 Barracuda Interior moldings under rear window

    I believe that Barracuda trunks were painted body color, just like all other A body Mopars in 65. That includes the floor and the inside of the quarter panels. My original white 65 Barracuda had a white painted trunk. My gold 66 Barracuda had a gold painted trunk. The plastic latch cover in...

    Aftermarket valve covers and intakes?

    Nothing wrong with a little grinding. Not even noticeable.

    Well, the Air Gap on my 413 also has a place for a vacuum hose.

    I had a place on my 360's Air Gap to put a fitting for the vacuum hose. Is your motor a big block?

    Was the 273 available in a 68 Barracuda?

    Before I bought my 65 Barracuda in the summer of 68, I looked at others, including a 67 fastback with a 273 two barrel, A/C and a 4-speed. (Who ever ordered that combo??) About 1990, I looked at a 68 Barracuda coupe, 318 4-speed. It had door dings all up and down both sides (Atlanta car), but...

    Was the 273 available in a 68 Barracuda?

    67 wasn't the last year for the 273, but it was the last year for the 273 in a Barracuda. In 68, the 318 became the standard V8 for Barracudas.

    moog problem solvers creating problems....

    I don't know how relevant this is, but a while back I replaced the lower control arm bushings on my 65 Barracuda. The Moogs did not fit! The lip was too thick and the radius under it to wide to allow them to seat fully. I switched to Delco, they were fine. Moog on the left, Delco on the...

    So We Finally Get A Two Door

    Well I think the new Charger is a damn good looking car. Friend of mine, who bought a 66 Belvedere Hemi 4-speed brand new (and still has it) bought a Tesla last year. Draw your own conclusions. . . .

    '65 Barracuda Interior moldings under rear window

    Mine were body color (white originally). So was the entire trunk (black now). Also the floors and the cargo side panels under the black carpet.

    Spare tire wheel well on 1964 Plymouth Barracuda...what size 14 inch tire fits?

    The original carpet in my 65 Barracuda (which I've owned since August of 1968) had thick jute padding on either side of the spare. Today's replacement carpet has some padding (not jute), but it is not as thick. That would doubtless make a difference in whether or not there's a bump for the...

    Room for a Clutch-Fan in a '65?

    When I first got my 65 Barracuda, it of course still had the Commando 273, 4 speed with 3.23 gears. And the 3.09 low gear, of course. Sort of consistent with AJ's comments, I could stay with an SS396 through low gear, but they would immediately jump out a full car length when I speed-shifted...

    Spare tire wheel well on 1964 Plymouth Barracuda...what size 14 inch tire fits?

    Nor does the trunk mat sit flat in my 67 Barracuda coupe with a 185/70/14 tire. (It might would with a 4.5 inch wheel instead of the 5.5 wheel it has in it.)

    Spare tire wheel well on 1964 Plymouth Barracuda...what size 14 inch tire fits?

    Nor does the trunk mat sit completely flat in my 63 Valiant convertible, with a 185/75/13 tire. Hmmmm - looks like I need to clean that mat!!

    OK, the carpet does not sit completely flat in my 65 Barracuda.
