    GPS Speedo

    I have one in my Barracuda. Seems to work pretty good and there is no subscription or anything like that. Uses the same signal your Garmin or TomTom use. In fact, if you have a dash mounted GPS, you'll notice that they display your current speed as well. I don't know how effective they'll be in...

    Looking for opinions on which engine to go with.

    I'm sure there's some mismatch as well as a bad tune. It seems to be running pig rich, I know it's a stock converter with 4.10's out back and it's got a pretty snotty idle, so the duration or overlap in the cam is probably pretty big. I can't wait to crack it open to see what exactly I've got.

    Looking for opinions on which engine to go with.

    The only plus side to this snow is that I don't have to shovel it! You shouldn't make offers like that to me, I'm not too bright and would try something stupid like that. My buddy is already planning my return to motorcross and stupid me thinks it's a good idea. Like I said, not too bright...

    Looking for opinions on which engine to go with.

    Sorry for my delayed response, but I'm only out of the hospital a week today and I haven't really felt up to getting out a reply. Anyway, I traded basically for the "cool factor". I was bored with the Z-28 and as the mods got bigger, inspection was becoming more and more of a problem and the car...

    Looking for opinions on which engine to go with.

    The bottom line is, I can't and won't make a descision on which way to go until what I've got gets torn down and inspected. As far as the head debate goes, I've pretty much made up my mind on some Indy heads regardless of which direction I go. I thank everyone for their input and if anyone has...

    Looking for opinions on which engine to go with.

    You're probably right. I had a little brain fart. The journal size is not the size of the crank snout. I wasn't thinking. The difference between them is the addition of counterweights for external balancing. They will interchange....on a SB Chevy anyway. My God, I'm losing it! I've got to get...

    Looking for opinions on which engine to go with.

    Just to be clear, you're asking if it could still be a 400 crank running a 440 external balance balancer? Anything's possible I guess, but like I said I'm not familiar with Mopars (yet) and don't know which engines are internally or externally balanced or which parts will interchange. From what...

    Looking for opinions on which engine to go with.

    abodyjoe, I'm definately going to take it apart before I do anything. BrianT, I agree it should be running much better. I haven't checked anything on the car because the hood is a lift off and I can't get it off alone or really perform any of the tests due to my current condition. Hopefully...

    Looking for opinions on which engine to go with.

    Lol! I'm well aware of the sacrilegious nature of option 4 and the backlash I would get if it happened. I totally agree with staying faithful to the brand, no matter what it is. Although I did think about it, I doubt I would've actually done it. It's kinda sick, but I actually listed it as an...

    Looking for opinions on which engine to go with.

    Thanks for the links Rumblefish360 and BrianT, my old Monte Carlo ran 9.85 @ 132 on spray and 10.80's on motor. The Camaro I swapped for the Barracuda ran 12.11 @ 113 and the guy that I got the car from said he ran it a few times with and without spray and it went 8.30 in the 1/8th w/o spray and...

    Looking for opinions on which engine to go with.

    I'll certainly be driving it on the street, but I'd like a low 10 second, high 9 second car. It's already caged with mini tubs, ladder bars and coil overs. The motor that's in it is on a 125 shot as well, but like I said before, I believe the internals are cast and I don't know the history or...

    Looking for opinions on which engine to go with.

    If I'm gonna do a 500, I'm gonna do it right. I'm thinkin' Indy 440-EZ's or some heads from Hughes and a 440 Source rotating assembly. The bobweight on the 500 kit is actually less than that of the 451. 2075 as opposed to 2150, but of course the longer stroke puts piston speed way up there. I'd...

    Looking for opinions on which engine to go with.

    Ok, I'm new to the Mopar scene and recently acquired a '68 Barracuda with a 451 stroker, 727, 8 3/4. I took the car on trade as did the guy I traded with, so the history or tecnical specs of the engine are unknown or even if it's a 451 or not. I did verify that it is a 400 block and the balancer...
