Here is a Facebook video of the car on a dyno.

Did you see Gale Banks was involved with both projects? He worked with Shelby originally and you could tell he really loved being involved with the rebuild.

Personally I would hook up an electric pump and make sure new gas will flow through it. But if you really worried check theses guys out: Product List

Starter went bad. Neutral safety switch not working or senses gear shift in gear. If a manual clutch switch isn't sensing clutch depressed.

My car sat for 20 years and this is what I did. 1) hooked up an electric pump to the fuel line in the engine compartment to drain all the old fuel. I use an old 5 gal gas can to collect the fuel. 2) Pour fresh fuel in the tank and again using the electric pump to get the fuel up to the front. 3)...

Lots of info. Thanks guys. As for the 6sp and not shifting much. I'm referring to when I go canyon carving. Similar to The Dragon. Drag racing is OK but I like to go around the corner better.

I found when I was driving the tail of the dragon I would keep the rpm between 3k & 6200 using a RL at 7000. This would allow me to get off the corner with speed and if I had to shift before the next tight turn so be it. I don't have to have 400 RWHP but at least 300 would be fun. Oil pan mods...

I have been doing a bit of back country road "driving" and like a car that has a wide RPM & power band. Getting out of a tight turn and heading to the next I don't want to have to change gears very often. I plan on a 5 or 6 sp manual as well. I have a Z4 and have a ball "Canyon carving" in it. I...

I'm looking at building a small block, 360, to run on the street. Is it possible to build one that can safely have a 7-8k redline? It also will need to be between 350 & 450 whp.

I'm going the 4sp route.

What if you have the rotating assembly balanced.

In order to start you need a few things. Fuel is on and spark is the other. You can check for fuel by removing the fuel line at the carb. Get a container to catch the fuel. Crank over the engine. If you are getting fuel then check for spark. Easiest way to check for spark is to remove a spark...

I have used the furniture dolly from HF. Cheap and movable.

I was told the manifolds are capable of handling 400-450 hp before they are the limiting factor.

I haven't used him put have had many recommend Toth Performance in Eau Claire, Pennsylvania. Not too far from you but has many years of experience in Mopars. Check here: Toth Performance

Hot Rod checked them out. Here is a link: Mopar Dodge And Plymouth Cylinder Heads - Mopar Muscle Magazine They actually don't sound bad.

I have been interested in this 5sp for awhile now: Passon Performance | Passon Performance | Get your SHIFT together!

Main problem with headers in a 67-69 Barracuda is ground clearance. Most go under the suspension and will be crushed by objects like speed bumps or just a good dip in the road. If you are running under 400 hp you might want to look at the 340HP manifolds from the 68 -72 barracuda. Don't loose...

Not sure but it sounds like not.

I've been in this game for 40 years now! I've seen some fads come and go while others show they actually work. When you have more that one old car you will always have something that needs work. But you also like to minimise that work so you can enjoy driving what you have. Some people love the...

Yes I did. According to a local engine builder they are going away from the needle bearings as they fail too often. He recommends having the bushing instead.

Ain't that the truth. The engine I'm planing on building for my street driven Barracuda is a 408 LA block with a full roller valvetrain! I also don't want to run into problems with parts failure down the road so this information is important to me as well. Why am I not using aluminum head...

Back in 1973 we used roller cam/ lifters & rockers. Granted theses were for racing purposes only. We also didn't have the variety of aluminum heads to choose from. We just ported the heads we had. Today the technology has changed what we have to choose from. The idea of using a full roller...

With the LA block I thought there were some modifications required for proper oil flow. Chrysler, at one time, had a kit to take care of this.

You cam buy the correct gaskets with the block off plates reasobly cheap. Check out these: http://www.hawkinsspeedshop.com/categories/mopar-performance-parts/products/product-1194.html

How long has the gas sat in the tank prior to use? Gas over 90 days old that has not been treated with something like sty-bil will break down and not burn well.

Those are interesting numbers. I wonder why the 360 is 25 lbs heavier than the 273-340?

Now let's really muddle things up and go for new age: EFI On the same engines what will give the best overall performance?

Starting at the bottom and look up. What I mean is you know it's wet low so you are looking to see how far up the engine or radiator is wet. This will give you a better place to start for repairs. Could be a hose, water pump (won't make noise as it would be a seal problem) ,the radiator has...

The cam from the 340HP seems to be a good choice. Being that this will be a daily driver the cam is not too radical but will add enough to make reds & greens fun.
