    Need help with old Chevy versus Mopar debate

    Two brothers are locked in a debate. One says the Chevy 327 always beat the Mopar 340 (and even the 440). This has probably been done before but, are there any articles/documentation anyone can point me to with stock 327 4bbl versus stock 340 4bbl, A-Body to help settle this or at least allow...

    273 Pie Tins?

    A friend has a 67 Barracuda 273 he restored. I tried to get him to modify it, 4 bbl, headers, at least dual exhaust but no luck. He has a black air cleaner with a snorkel. It got me wondering, was there ever a 273 pie tin or just a decal that went on air cleaners? Thanks

    Color Combo question

    I have a 68 UU1 blue Barracuda that will either be repainted the same color or turquoise. A 360 will eventually go in place of the slant six. For reasons stated on another thread, I plan to tell my Chevy neighbors its a 318. I even have the 318 Four Barrel pie tin. Problem is, the pie tin is...

    A 360 passing for a 318

    I like sleepers and when I finally get a 360 for my 68 Barracuda, I plan to put a 318 Four Barrel pie tin on the air cleaner and tell everyone its a 318. Considering if all goes well it will have headers, aluminum intake, maybe aluminum heads and all, will I be able to pass it off as a 318? I...

    Comp, Lunati, Mopar?

    If the specs are as similar as can be, is there a reason to buy one brand of cam over the other? Thanks.

    273 valve covers

    I've always liked the black 273 valve covers with the fins. I've found some on line but, for the most part they are not in great shape. I was wondering: Does anyone manufacture reproductions of this cover? I didn't think so. Will they fit on the 318-340-360? Thanks. Finally, does anyone have a...

    Chinese metal, does it matter?

    In a previous post I asked about cast versus forged crankshafts. Forum members noted that some cranks, of both designs were made in China. I did some checking and Callies, as noted, no longer makes crank shafts of any design for the 273-318-340-360 engines. I checked with K1 and they do. They...

    Differences and purpose for these KB Pistons

    I was wondering what was the difference and intended purpose for these Keith Black 360 pistons: Flat top Step Dish (a Dish type is listed but it says "Magnum 19.4cc. Is that for the later Magnum 360s?) Finally would the flat top 72cc 9:8:1 be good for a street run only 360 with a performance...

    Cast versus Forged?

    Honest, I hit search before posting this question as I figured its been asked many times. Call me lame but I didn't find it. Okay, it will be a street driven only 68 Barracuda 360 with some minor mods (auto tranny) and I'm hoping to be in the 300 to 350 hp range. With that in mind, would the...

    One more "newbie" 360 question

    First of all, thanks for the great information I have received here. I have learned enough from forum members to keep from making a lot of mistakes. I would love to put a stroker 360 in my 68 Barracuda but they are too expensive for me. I have looked at various crate motors, including by MRL...

    Motor Works, Spokane, Washington?

    Anyone familiar with Motor Works out in Spokane, Washington? They advertise a 378 hp 360 crate engine for a little over $3600. My other crate engine searches were closer to $5000 and up. Thanks in advance for any information you can give me.

    "streetable" daily driver?

    I've had my slant-six 68 Barracuda since 1986. The drive train is long gone and I am getting closer to starting on the body. I want to swap a small block into the car (I've been away from restoration for years and have not kept up with all the new ways to do engine swaps) but have a car that is...
