Nice! :thumbsup:
What headers are you running? I sure hope my TTi headers still clear the HP70. Hopefully just taller and not much wider than the 727 pan.
Using TTi HCA61 but haven’t bolted everything together yet. Everything I have read says there should be no problems.
I think the issue with these transmissions is more about height.
 
Are 68 and 69 A-Body door latches interchangeable?
I know the lock button is located in different locations on the doors but isn't that just a different length rod? Don't see 69 door latches anywhere only 68.
Anyone here used these?

EPAS Electric Power Assisted Steering for the 69 Barracuda
Will be mated to an Ididit Tilt Steering Column, Momo Steering wheel and Paddle Shifters.

Had to make a plate to go on the firewall and relocate the opening to where the steering shaft will clear everything. Used the original firewall steering column plate as a template and made the new with 3mm thick plate aluminum.
Cut it out on my bench router table with a trim bit from Harbor Freight. Worked great.

A 3/4" Double "D" and 1" Double "D", a 3/4" 36 spline to 3/4" DD U-Joint, a 3/4" DD to 1" DD U-Joint, a 1" Bearing at the firewall. Collapsible Steering Shaft with Electric Power Assisted Steering.

Now to shorten and modify the Ididit Tilt Column to fit.

Really happy with the results so far.
Ididit says they will disassemble, cut the column and inner steering shaft down to my measurements for $100.00 + shipping and I can maintain the warranty.
Seems worth it to me.

A few more pictures...
The EPAS kit came with a Plate for the firewall but I think they have "Early A" for all the A-Body Barracudas and not correct for 67-69 Barracudas. So I made my own.
Cut down the stock column for all the test fitting.

Running Total $42,705.12

Each item's price is included in my excel workbook but doesn't copy paste well...
~200 separate line items!
Also a lot of items that were trial/test and then not used so removed... Some of the items listed above may also end up not being used because we found something we liked "Better" or just changed our minds... Like the Pat Blais Built, Zero Mile, RVB, Manual Shift 727 w/Chrysler Stall Converter $1859.97 + Core. Being replaced with a 2018 8HP70 8-Speed...
Ha! There's another $800 ($500 + $300 Shipping from Texas) to add to my list - 8HP70 Trans with Torque Converter.
Oh, and the US Car Tool Trans Tunnel $649 and the US Car Tool Trans Cross Member for 8HP $295.
Still need to add the Sound German Automotive PCS (Powertrain Control System) $1000 and PCS Paddle Shifter $550

Make that $45,499.12 and counting...

This is why you should never build one and never ever keep track of how much you spent...
Original Car Purchase Price, Bodywork, Paint and Labor not included...
There are more than a few items I didn't add to the list because sometimes I'm just too lazy...

Did I mention this will be my kid's car when finished? Call me crazy, I know.
He will be on the hook for 50% of the total cost. I think he's getting a pretty good deal.
He paid for the 6.1 and a few other items along the way but he is still in school and this past summer we was not able to work his summer job of the previous 3 years due to Covid-19
Snohomish County Public Works, Road Maintenance Division

Currently in the process of making mounting brackets for the AC Condenser.
They are the Aluminum pieces test fitted at the top and bottom.
After I have the condenser located I can route the AC plumbing.
Going to hide the lines as much as possible. Some will go between the inner and outer fender.

Running Total $42,705.12

Each item's price is included in my excel workbook but doesn't copy paste well...
~200 separate line items!
Also a lot of items that were trial/test and then not used so removed... Some of the items listed above may also end up not being used because we found something we liked "Better" or just changed our minds... Like the Pat Blais Built, Zero Mile, RVB, Manual Shift 727 w/Chrysler Stall Converter $1859.97 + Core. Being replaced with a 2018 8HP70 8-Speed...
Ha! There's another $800 ($500 + $300 Shipping from Texas) to add to my list - 8HP70 Trans with Torque Converter.
Oh, and the US Car Tool Trans Tunnel $649 and the US Car Tool Trans Cross Member for 8HP $295.
Still need to add the Sound German Automotive PCS (Powertrain Control System) $1000 and PCS Paddle Shifter $550

Make that $45,499.12 and counting...

This is why you should never build one and never ever keep track of how much you spent...
Original Car Purchase Price, Bodywork, Paint and Labor not included...
There are more than a few items I didn't add to the list because sometimes I'm just too lazy...

Did I mention this will be my kid's car when finished? Call me crazy, I know.
He will be on the hook for 50% of the total cost. I think he's getting a pretty good deal.
He paid for the 6.1 and a few other items along the way but he is still in school and this past summer we was not able to work his summer job of the previous 3 years due to Covid-19

Currently in the process of making mounting brackets for the AC Condenser.
They are the Aluminum pieces test fitted at the top and bottom.
After I have the condenser located I can route the AC plumbing.
Going to hide the lines as much as possible. Some will go between the inner and outer fender.

Still better than an opioid addiction and they don't keep receipts.
 
Happy New Year!

Got the AC Condenser where I want it and got a start on the plumbing.

First to make a hole for a 90* elbow to go through.
Test fitting with rubber lines that were included with the kit before making up the braided stainless lines that will be in the Engine Compartment.
Hard lines will run between the inner and outer fender.

Need to enlarge the hole a little bit more but need a new big step bit.
Will put a large rubber grommet in the hole after I enlarge it a little more.

O-Ring Female to O-Ring Male Elbow on the outside to a 90* down with service port inside.

Thought about a bulkhead in the core support but I'm liking how this is working out.

Next will be a flex line to a bulkhead through the inner fender.

Don't know if I could be much slower but at least it's progress.
Bending the hard lines to fit should be interesting...
 
Hydraulic Punch Driver Kit from HF.
First time using it. Got to admit, this thing works great.

1/8" thick core support, no problem. Nice clean hole. Forget the Step Bit.

Now to see if I can come up with a single bulkhead fitting for the inner fender for other hose...
upload_2021-1-2_10-53-42.png
 
Are you planning on allowing the one line to lay on top of rail? Engine vibrations most likely will cause line chafing or if using SS braided line mess up pretty paint at the least. Might consider 90° from compressor then a 45° from engine compartment to condenser? Just wondering what your plan is. I'm sure it'll be a good one.
 
I was thinking about either floating or Plastic block type spacers for both hoses...
I have lots of different fittings to play with. Maybe floating with a couple plastic straps like the one supporting the heater hoses in my E-Body...
Either way, definitely don't want any friction between hose and any metal edges or painted surface.
Good call though. :thumbsup:
 
Made some more holes today. I'm really liking the Hydraulic Hole Punch Driver.
First for the Heater Lines. Drill Pilot holes first.

Then punch them out.
What it looks like from the inside.

And presto... we have hole!

Rinse and repeat...
We now have two Holes!

Add a pair of bulkhead fittings.

Quick test fit with some heater hose.

Not too shabby. Think that will do just fine.

The back side of the heater lines Bulkhead.
upload_2021-1-3_20-27-43.png


Leaving the inside heater line plumbing for later, I moved on to Coolant Line Bulkhead install.
Same process but had to flatten the little channel for the bulkhead plate. I used the Hydraulic ram with 2 flat surfaces facing each other to flatten it out. I'm liking this tool more and more. Wonder what else I can think of using it for? I got some dimple dies to use with it but no dimple plans yet... Anyway, here are the coolant bulkhead fittings installed.

Heater fitting circled in yellow and the AC fittings in red.

Next up... bend these to fit as needed.
Should be interesting. The -10 will not need much bending but the -6 line will be going all the way forward and around the corner in front of the core support to the Dryer.
Will start it at the dryer being sure to put enough bends to make a nice fit.
The -10 line will stop short of the core support and connect to a 90* bulkhead fitting.
The 90* fitting can go right where the -10 line ends...

That's all for now.
Back to the day job tomorrow... Not as fun but the pay is a lot better!

Nice work. I like the tool too. Here's a thought, although you probably already have a plan, anbout protecting the refrigerant lines in the wheel well, before you make-up the ends consider slipping some rubber hose over them, or fab up a removable shield of sorts. Some "things' on the road flying up from the tire are pretty sharp and hard. You wouldn't want to not have A/C after all your hard work. The high psi side/liquid line should be insulated anyway. Keep up awesome work. Oh, and I'm sure you'll support those long lines somehow as well, so they don't flop around and stress out connections.
