    [WANTED] STR12 Cross Ram

    Anyone have an STR12 intake manifold to sell? I'm willing to pay good money for an example in the right condition but you'd need to be willing to ship it overseas to Australia.

    My 68 Barracuda Fastback

    I purchased the car in Australia in 2000. Original turbine bronze, 318 automatic. Had a 273 in it when purchased although the US title papers that came with the car showed it had a 340 when last titled in California (the 273 was swapped in after coming to Australia and before I bought it). Now...

    [WANTED] A body power steering shaft

    Anyone have an A body power steering shaft they want to sell? I only need the steering shaft itself with the steering wheel mounting nut and bottom coupling pin (not the coupling itself just the pin). My car is a '68 but I assume all A body steering shafts for various years will be the same. I'm...

    Hydraulic roller cam valvetrain woes

    I've tried multiple preloads from 1/2 turn (.020) to 2 turns (.080). The greater preload quietened down the lifters that were actually pumping up, but the lifters that wouldn't pump up of course remained noisy. I think I'll just buy a new set of lifters, the ones I had were DNJ (Domestic and...

    Hydraulic roller cam valvetrain woes

    Thanks, that makes sense in terms of bleed down. But I'm wondering why some of the lifters, even installed wrong/down, didn't pump up in the first place?

    Hydraulic roller cam valvetrain woes

    Hello All, Been a member here for many years but it's been a long time since I posted. I have a stroked '89 360 roller cam engine which was rebuilt by an engine builder who is now interstate from me (I've moved). I've had nothing but problems with the engine so far - it's been installed and run...

    Roller cam / pushrods?

    A belated tip, as from personal experience I have learned. With the LA roller blocks if you are not running LA roller heads, but pre roller heads (stock or for example Edelbrock), you will probably encounter problems with pushrod clearance through the heads, due to changed pushrod geometry and...

    Rear tire width max for 67 Barracuda

    For my 2 cents worth rears should be fine. I run 275/60/15 with 8 inch rims 4.5 backspace and they fit perfectly inside the wheel lip with no rub. But I do also have inset leaf springs using the Dr Diff kit which moves them in I think from vague memory 1/2". 275 rears sure do look good on our cars.

    [FOR SALE] '67-'72 SBJ Upper A Arms

    I'll take them if there's no significant rust/pitting. I'm in Australia though so if you will ship overseas let me know I will of course pay full postage costs.

    Cragar rims - brake clearance issues

    Hello All, It's been a long time since I've posted here. To cut a long story short I've been separated from my '68 Barracuda for the past 4 years (after moving for work and having to leave the car behind) but in the past week we've been reunited :) So I'm busying myself ironing out a few bugs...

    '68 Barracuda nearing completion

    just a few pics of the exhaust and underside of my '68 as the car nears completion. It's been a labour of love for the past ten years. In the last 3 years the car has been living away from me in Sydney after I moved a couple of thousand mils way for work, and I have seen it 2 times since then...

    Hello all, been a while since I have posted. My '68 cuda is near completion and I've an AAR bolt on hood to put on it. I bought a set of the low tension springs a couple of years back from someone here but I've since lost them so need another pair. Can anyone point me in the right direction...

    Fibreglass hood - front lanyard positioning.

    Bump. C'mon fellas, someone's gotta be able to help here. I'm asking how to mount the hood pins for my fibreglass hood (68 'cuda) Where do they mount inside the engine bay? Do they screw into an existing fender bolt hole or is there some kind of bracket used to mount the front pics (hood will be...

    finned valve covers

    You missed another "finned" style - the Eddy Elite series. Had them on my 318 in my previous car (pictured). I finally returned to them for my stroker in my '68 cuda, after buying a set of MTs and some fabbed covers. Like the Offy's as well, but by their style to me they just seem more suited to...

    68 Barracuda rocker molding

    Best pic I have at the moment. Do it right and use clips. You wont find the OEM nylon clips but can use a wire spring clip and slide it into the backside of the spear.

    Mopar rumble 2010, sydney - australia

    Hey Andrew, I really applaud the good work the Regals are doing in the Aus. mopar scene. Hopefully I will move back down to or near Sydney in the near future and finally get my 'cuda finished (it currently resides right in your neck of the woods), and look into joining the club.

    68 Barracuda spear molding clips??

    I don't have pics but they were a plastic/vinyl clip. I tried sourcing them from various places but found that they are virtually impossible to obtain. I did try 70 Challenger deck lid moulding clips as an alternative (rumoured to fit) but they were no good - no wide enough to keep the spear...

    rockt mtn dash/gauges

    Lol..mate, if you like 40-45 degrees celsius in summer move to my location in central Australia (Alice Springs). Otherwise, anywhere else is generally a happy medium, hot summers and sunny mild winters. Great all year round cruising weather!

    Yes I found welding 3 mil aluminium surprisingly easy, even with my poor welding skills.
