Maybe if you searched the hemi forum instead of the Magnum swaps forum...
Search Results for Query: notchback | For A Bodies Only Mopar Forum
The factory built hemi Darts and fastback Barracudas in '68 and people have been cloning them ever since. A notch would present no unique challenges that have not already been addressed.
Just a quick Google search:
Edit: I see this has now been moved to General Discussions and out of the Magnum Swaps section. That should help.

You're totally nuts!
But that's what makes this hobby fun, right?
There's nothing more badass than a 2nd gen. Hemi and a 4 speed in an A-Body IMHO.
Now, back to reality.
You need to ask yourself (and answer honestly) a lot of questions before you start.
- What's your budget? (You're looking at the 70 K range to do this build properly especially with no body yet)
- What is your actual skill level?
- How much spare time do you have for the build?
- What do you have for tools, shop, etc.?
- What is the intended use of the car? (Race, barely streetable, mild driver, show car?)
That's just a few points.
BTW, there are several posts on here that may answer a lot of build questions.
Good luck, and keep us posted........

"Thanks, could you send me a few pics of the red notchback ?????"
Like I said, that was just a quick Google search. Try "hemi barracuda notchback".
Those pictures linked to these sites and threads:

Yes you are Nuts! But I applaud you for it.
You will want to start out with a big block factory car so you have the correct K member and larger radiator support.
