67 Cuda Notchback Hell Cat Swap

[Chuckbizkits]

Starting on a new project. After selling the 64 Valiant, I bought a freshly restored 1967 Barracuda. Going to tear it all down (except the exterior paint), make some cool mods and swap in all new Hellcat motor and 8 speed HP90 transmission.

You're not messing around, car and crate in the shed already. Good luck with this one! Looking forward to the progress!

I'm a little torn on this one.

Part of me is saying ~ hell yes drop a Hellcat in a 67 Barracuda!
And then the other voice is saying ~ but look at that beautiful car the way it already is!

Not to say I'm not doing horrible, horrible things with my car, but it's just a 73 beaker...
Either way, I'm definitely gonna watch this one.

That crate reminds me of Taz lol

Awesome can’t wait for updates. Dustin

Better plan on some brake, suspension, chassis, and tire mods to handle it. Should be a fun sleeper.

Might as well go ahead and call Denny, and get a full HDK front suspension on the way!

It's not a special car at all. I just look at it as if all of the heartache and time to get the paint the way I want it is done.

Took apart the entire car. Got it down to a shell. Started removing the undercoating. Pretty thick.

My '68 Barracuda convertible has the full US Cartool chassis stiffening kit in it. A custom triangulated Monte Carlo bar might be wise too, and you better install a full cage, 4 wheel disc brakes and some good shocks. It would be nice to have an upgraded front and rear suspension too.

I figure your power level will be just about perfect.

Some pretty and clean sheet metal under that undercoat. Starting on the mini tub too, I see.

 

[adriver]

Certainly will take the power up a notch.

What do you plan to use for transmission control? Stock stuff ?

Sound German Engineering.

Also cut out the wheel tubs and started on the mini tub.

 

[67/6barracuda]

Making quick progress, clean frame rails.

 

[Chuckbizkits]

Long weekend! Finished the mini tubs. I cut into the frame rail 1" and added 1" to the inside to maintain the 2" frame rail. Also reinforced the inside of the frame rails.

 

[R4Sedan]

This will be awesome.

 

[Hellcat Cuda]

This will be awesome.

OK, next, let's trial fit the Hellcat in there. C'mon, just for the "hell" of it!
