I have a 1973 360 with Trick Flow 190 power port heads going in a 1969 Barracuda. I found some Hooker competition headers used but they won't fully bolt flush to the driver's side head because the #1 tube is against the head. I can either grind the head (don't want to do this), put a big dent...

In my '69 Barracuda vert I am replacing both frame rails. In between the frame rail and the rear valence there appears to be a panel of some kind that is mostly rusted out and I'll need to replace. Not sure what it is called. Looks like the rear of the frame rail is welded to it. Can someone...

I bought a Chrysler small block serpentine conversion with bracketing for a GM 1 wire alternator from CVF. I bought the alternator from summit racing. It is a 12 SI. Anyway, the alternator does not clear the head. The bearing extends about 1/4" too far back preventing the alternator to swing...

I am building a 408 stroker and have a 1973 360 block with Trick flow 190 heads and a trick flow track heat intake. It seems like the intake is too far from the heads. When I tighten it down, it appears to bend or angle the intake slightly to get it to bolt up tight. I'm guessing it would...

I was wondering what I need for an oil pump for my 408 stroker. The HV one I have will not clear the main stud bolts. Wondering what I am looking for. Also, the pickup tube attaches to one of the main bolts. Do I need a stud kit for that, or can it be placed under the bolt (between the bolt...

I am in the process of assembling my 1973 LA 360 block to make it a 408 stroker. I have a Molner forged rotating assy with H beam rods. I noticed after putting in the first two piston assys that the clearance between the rod bolt head and the block is very tight. About .040 on the first one...

I'm assembling my 408 stroker (4.030 bore) and now that I have the pistons installed, I measured the deck clearance at .020" I have Trick Flow powerport aluminum heads with 60cc chambers and Mahle pistons with 16cc dishes. This engine should put out about 525/550 with the cam selections and the...

I'm in the process of swapping the original 318 engine with a 1973 360. I wanted to convert the belt system to a serpentine system. Has power steering and no AC. I also wanted to upgrade the charging system in the process. Looking for a recommendation on a kit and what exactly is needed to...

I pulled out the factory 318 out of my barracuda and am building a 408 stroker for it. The block is a 1973 LA 360 with a Molner rotating assy for 408 ci and wondering what is recommended for an oil pan and oil pump pick up for it. I want plenty of clearance and wanted recommendations on the...

Below are some pics of a rusted out piece under my 1969 Barracuda. it is located under the rear seat and ends where the rear floor pan starts. I was going to replace both sides but I don't know what they are called or if they are available through AMD or others. Any input is helpful. And...

As you can the lower part of my rear quarters are shot. Someone else patched an extension on both sides which I removed to see what I have to work with. The rear valence is shot also. Surprisingly the trunk is in good shape but I was wondering what parts are recommended to replace based on...

I am in the process of building a 1973 360 LA stroker (408) and will be running hydraulic roller rockers and lifters. I was recently watching a build on powernation and they mentioned that the lifter link bars can interfere with the block and the block may need to be shaved or machined to keep...

I am in the process of building my new 408 stroker engine. Just got the block back from the machine shop and I know it is .030 over so now it is time to order the rotating assy. The question is to have it balanced or not. Since I am building from scratch, I can go either way, but I just...

I have a 1969 Barracuda Convertible that has rotted rear frame rails on both sides that I am going to tackle replacing. There are sections in front of both rear wheels that are rotted through for about 10 inches or so. The back by the bumper and shock support are not any better. So I was...

I recently acquired a 360 LA block that I plan to use in my Barracuda. It came with some extra parts that I do not plan to use. In particular, there are a set of pistons that are .030 over cast but I don't know how to identify any other info about them. Here are a few pics of them. If someone...

I have a '69 barracuda convertible with the weak 7 1/4 rearend. I was thinking about finding a 8 1/4 rearend to replace it with. There is one listed locally for $500 out of a '69 Coronet. It is open type and I would consider changing it to a sure grip type if possible. Is it worth it? I...

Is there someone out there who repairs convertible top switches. I have mine but it is shot internally. Hard to find part that looks original. Any options would be appreciated. Thanks.

The coupler on my 1969 Barracuda is shot and after removing the column I find that the coupler housing splines are worn out as well. When you turn the wheel it turns but the power steering box spline does not. Anyway, looking for options. My questions are: 1. Do the power steering box male...

I recently purchased a 69 Barracuda and have begun to take apart the interior for restoration. I noticed that the paint is peeling in spots off of the dash. It looks like someone painted a red dash black. Was this factory or was this done after the fact? Can you recommend a place to look...

I recently bought a "69 Barracuda for restoration and one of the first hurtles is to try to get the driver's door open. I have not had it open yet. The car has been sitting for some time so I suspected to find things stuck from rust. I read through lots of threads on this and so far I have...

Well, I have taken the dive into a Barracuda resto. Starting with a barnyard find of a '69 Convertible with 41K miles that is all original but been sitting in a barnyard for the past 22 years. It pretty much needs everything, but the body is complete and straight. It will need a interior as...

I am happy to join the forum after finding a 1969 Barracuda Convertible I plan to restore. Since my last name is Cuda it only seems fitting that I own one. Found it in a barnyard. I believe it has been sitting for 22 years. 318 auto with 41K miles. Needs a lot but it is pretty straight. I...
