    1962 VALIANT/6 to V8 SWAP

    As mentioned above early A motor mounts, exhaust manifolds or headers, dropped V8 center link, cable throttle assembly, a notch put into the transmission crossmember and a V8 transmission or bellhousing. Several years ago there was a 62 Valiant in Salt Lake City that had a 416 under the hood...

    Sub connectors for 1964 Plymouth Valiant

    I used the US Cartools ones and with a little trimming they look like they came from the factory. They work well! I have also installed ones made from rectangular tube and they perform equally as well, just not the nice look.

    early A body engine swap

    Yes, they are giving you an option. Umbrella style seals control the amount of oil the valve guide receives by deflecting oil splash away from the guide. The little cone does the same thing by preventing oil from flowing down the valve stem into the guide and are usually used on exhaust...

    64-6 Barracuda rear corners are getting closer!

    The sun here in Wyoming is especially tough on things too. About five thousand feet less atmosphere to block UV than sea level. Wiper blades and rubber/plastic trim are short lived. Really glad to see you are making these things. I had to hunt for some of the parts on my cars for years!

    early A body engine swap

    That first example is the ones I have used, with the rubber between the tabs. They must have "improved" them.

    early A body engine swap

    With the 273 style Brackets 2710 (Napa 606-1653)biscuits from a diesel '90 W250 are close to the correct thickness and have locking tabs. The hole in the mount for the alignment pin has to be moved a bit..... 2469 aren't thick enough and let the engine sit too low. With the Shumacher...

    early A body engine swap

    The 273/318 mounts can be modified to work for 340s by welding on a triangle ear and drilling a hole.

    Is the 4 speed going into the Barracuda too?

    Opinions welcome

    Well adjusted drum brakes will stop a car just fiine. Drum brakes aren't as good at managing and dispersing heat as disc brakes so their weakness is in repeat performances. They also don't work as well in wet conditions and require more frequent adjustment. Things I'm sure you have considered...

    1963 Barracuda convertible

    Options to repair or replace driver's side fresh air vent door.

    I've fixed a few of those. Drill out the rivets so the door assembly is detached. Weld a little tab to the door or bracket (maybe even both) and then drill them so you can use a small machine screw as the hinge pivot. Clean and paint (or powder coat) and then reinstall the door with pop...

    Are 1964, 1965, and 1966 barracuda and 2 door valiant doors the same and interchangeable?

    The main thing to keep in mind is that the striker assembly is different on a 63. To make a 63 door work on 64-66 you will need the cut the striker opening larger in one area and move one of the mounting holes. It ends up being a rather ragged looking modification if you don't weld in a little...

    Are 1964, 1965, and 1966 barracuda and 2 door valiant doors the same and interchangeable?

    64 to 66 Barracuda , Valiant and Dart doors are the same. They may have different holes for mounting trim clips. 63 Valiant and Dart are even the same but they have a different striker mechanism and a different opening for that. The opening can be modified to fit but requires a bit of body...

    Early A-Bodies

    When I take my cars out I get quite a few positive comments from younger girls. (The younger guys never even notice a car.....) And, I hear from the older folks what it is I need to do to make my car right.

    pictures of custom made V8 headers?

    Built these 1-3/4" full fenderwell headers for my 64 Barracuda with W2 heads. Seems like the same process could be modified to put two tubes below and two out the fenderwell. These do not rub on 205-60R15s lock to lock even over bumps.
