That sounds very doable rumblefish360. I do think this is the direction I will go and thank you for taking time to post your info. I do think it is better to speak to someone who "has been there and done that" rather than say "I can do this" and go off half cocked. I will look into the Heads a...

OK, here is another question. I have an old 360 Dual plane OK ! response has been great, so here is another question. This 360 is going into my daughters '65 Barracuda. At this point it has an "unknown" hot 273 commando engine that came with the car when I bought this basket case. I would like...

"There is no substitute for cubic inches" (Grumpy Jenkins)

I have to get this car put together it is my Daughters car ! Had to put it on the back burner due to job change......LOL ! but all is good now and getting back to it slowly.

Good to know Krazykuda

I will probably do like you said rumbelfish360 just put a 340 cam & stuff just to play with it.

Would Chrysler even put a different torque camshaft in this motor ? Is this the same as one put in a lighter car ? I was asked by a friend and I don't understand either...... Thanks Tim

Great input everyone, thanks !

Picked up a 360 out of a '85 Dodge 3500 that was used as a fire station support vehicle. Odometer reads 42,5500 miles. My question is did Chrysler put any "special " heavy duty parts in these ? I am not going into the motor just picked it up as a "spare" for my daughters '65 Barracuda. Any...

I agree with 273. I also agree with those who suggested the o2 sensor and Vac. gage. The electric fans you suggested would help as would the Thermoquad that RustyRatRod has suggested. Full synthetic fluids all around would help everything on wear and MPG. Just my 2 cents. Good luck and let us...

Yep krazykuda, that is what I had origionally bought. Looking deeper into the 4bbl. "Lock out" I talked about earlier. I have seen it done somewhere and can't find any info so far. Tim (Dad):D

NASCAR has proven the "Draft" thing every time you watch them. You can treat Air as a fluid we have to travel through, we just don't "Feel" the resistance as much as you would standing in the water at the Beach and feeling the undertow of the water on your legs. I don't know if anyone has taken...

I will study this Thread forward and backward , we do thank all of you for your input. I will try to get this car dialed in and let you all know how it works out ! Thanks again ! Tim (Dad) :thumrigh:

nevermind on the transmission Dad checked and we need an automatic. thank you all.

What is this A-833 O.D. trans. I have seen mentioned ? Will it fit a '65 Barracuda? Any clearance issues ? Is the cam I have too big for this type of Trans. ? What did they originally come in? How hard are they to find ? Thanks DaveBonds , I have read Tech articles about "Cranking Pressures" I...

Rumblefish360 F.Y.I. - Not just because I have one, but the Offenhauser 360 split plane Intake is the best Intake I have ever used for bottom end torque. I bought it for this car but bolt angle was a problem for me.(found this out later) "Wallowing" out the bolt holes to make it fit was not an...

Thanks DaveBonds for the info ! Yes , I do already have a Hal Tech air fuel ratio setup for the car and would like to install an overdrive trans. in car later on but can't right now. Hey toolmanmike , can these Cams be advanced to lower the power band closer into the RPM range I would need to be...

Food for thought........

Is the Cam that ratical ? I mean ,on a street car / Driver? If you all think the Cam is too big ,I am willing to hit the wife up for the x-tra $ but budget is all but gone. Have to be SURE before spending more money and you all know what I am saying.....

Well ,I will drive it from time to time ( he he ) but I do plan on fixing it to where the 4 bbl. won't kick in. maybe a "Hidden" lawn mower style cable leading from the passenger comp. to Carb. secondaries locking them. Just a thought......:D When do you plan on moving to S.C. ? Do you think the...

Oh yeah, the Vacuum Gage is definitely going in the Car ! Great suggestion ! KrazyKuda

O.K. here is what 273 Motor I have GOT NOW top to bottom: 1 - I'm running a elect. choke, 600 Holley with Vac. 2nds, 65 jets, dual line float bowl conversion kit ,center hung floats. 2 - D4B Ebelbrock intake 3 - Factory heads, stock valve job,hardened exhaust seats and new exhaust valves, spec...

I am like a Sponge ,trying to absorb all of this great info ! We Thank You ! Tim (Dad) :thumleft:

looks like I will have to dial in what I have the best I can then start changing one thing at a time to see what works best. Thanks for everybody's input ! dial in, diall in.... we shall see!!!! Tim (Dad)

Abodybomber this was not directed at you ! LOL ! just wanted to stop it before it got started...Got Real Ugly on another Thread here about building a car for my Daughter.... See Ya ! Tim (Dad) :D

Lets don't get...

'65 Barracuda 273 Factory solid lift cam Commando. Bought "Basket Project" from friend, I am finishing it up for Daughter as Driver "Fun Car". motor and trans. He already built back to factory specs with hardened Valve seats as well as 904 Trans and converter that came with car from factory...

OUCH ! I think I will tune up my Suzuki Samurai and drive it for the gas savings and drive the Hot Rod on weekends ! Good luck ! Without getting too deep you should look at your Ignition real close. I have also had success with D.U.I. (Davis Unified Ignition) Distributors. You talk with them and...

PC Seals on Intake Valves and regular on exhaust. What little Oil gets on the Exhaust Valve Stem will help cool and lube the Guide. Not a whole bunch but helps a little. Just my 2 Cents. Tim :thumleft:

The Engine itself is just a glorified "Air Pump" no matter the "Badge" on the outside. The more efficent the pump the better. Keep an open mind. Look at other builds by other "Badges" to see how they made their "Air Pump" more efficent, you might pick somthing up that can/will help with your...
