Digging out my 65 Barracuda from high school that has been buried in the back of my shop

[1320Junkie]

Bought this car in high school 65 Barracuda with a 413, 4 speed, 8 3/4 sure grip what more could a 17 year old kid ask for LOL. Planning on a G3 hemi swap want to keep stock front end and steering, starting my research on parts. One thing I haven't found yet is bolt in motor mount kit, have found universal ones. Been search other people projects here haven't seen what guys are using for exhaust manifolds that will work with stock front end and steering. More to come will probably start a build thread here soon.

Since it's for the 67-72 cars, you'd certainly have to fab, but it's a start.

I've got one in the corner of my shop that I bought like 40 years ago. It's on the list, but not on top.

a 65? I have always wanted a 67-69.. but the 65s have been growing on me.. i'm just lucky i don't have more room

Welcome. What? No pictures of how badly it was buried in the back of your shop and how much was stacked up on it? Darn!

 

[CrankyNot]

Yup, welcome to the [fill in the blank]!! An RB engine is a tight fit but don't know much about the G3 Hemi. Just glad it's not going to be another one of those Chevy whachumacallit engines!!

 

[1320Junkie]

I will get some hopefully later today. I don't have any pic on phone because when I parked cell phones weren't a thing yet LOL

413 sounds cooler than G3 hemi does, & it's lot rarer of a combo. And a lot easier to work on, no computers, no wiring changeover & associated headaches, no electric fuel pump necessary. Also "Barn Finds" are still very popular, and can be less work, upkeep, and no worries about new expensive paint damage.
Unless you just enjoy creating yourself a lot more work.

 

[1320Junkie]

OK here are some pictures. The 413 is tight, the issue are the fender well headers they take up a lot of room in the wheel well, have to have small tires on the front they rub. Have patched the headers a couple times but that was alot of years ago. Have already picked up a new hood that doesn't have a hole in it. I got some holes to patch up headers LOL

 

[Woody500]

Yeah the FW headers need to go. Exhaust manifolds that fit car are probably hard to find & maybe expensive. Building Log Manifolds might be the answer, if you keep 413. Losing a bit of HP worth the ease of installation & cheaper than headers probably.
Nice that it's been out of the weather for a long time.
I see you're a slalom skier.

 

[Icetech]

Screw that... Zoomies out the hood.... go full out.

 

[Woody500]

He's already got a different hood & probably doesn't want to blivet it with holes.

Welcome to FABO!

He can keep the current hood with the horrible scoop and add the zoomies... best of both worlds. Then some G50s on cragers out back...

1320, I had had that hood scoop in the 80's on my first car! You just gave me a good memory
