Well Geoff may be keeping a 340 in his car but nothing else will be stock by any means Fred!

He will definitely build a butt kickin motor, Dana 60 in the rear. No back seat because the tubs are too big. I've never had a car with a back half. This car was the first fast car he owned back in the day so it's been around ever since. He's also got 2 slant back Barricudas down here in my end of the yard. My wife and I live about 300 yards behind their house. We bought a new single wide mobile home and put up a shop with more square footage than the house.

I live in a mobile too as we talked about a long time ago. Cheep to keep and trying to be simple.

You're not alone there. I got all my big block stuff from him. I read alot too so I k ow I'll get it cyphered. I'm going to use a 512 stroker but low compression and reliable!

Ya know... she wasn't special. She wasn't kind. She wasn't mean. She wasn't a great cook nor bad. It was a different time being a young boy. We all just got up in the morning and what happened, happened. When the curfew blew we all went home.
Get up the next morning and what happened, happened. No drama. No instant gratification. We created our fun out of the environment. Maybe it was somebody else's Mom who fed us that day. We were FREE!!!

Sounds like fun. I bet your torque is a butt load and I would love to go for a ride when your done. lol
 
With a little luck It will have a GearVendors unit and we might just make it up that way. We do plan to travel in it. I'm putting a 30 inch tire on the back so that should be feasible.

She sounds like my kinda cook. As a kid we all had to create our own fun I think.

Have you tried the Gear Vendor yet Jeff. I am real happy with mine since I did away with the brain box and hooked it up direct. The only problem is if you don't get it out of overdrive before you go in reverse it will fry the Gear Vendor. Not sure if they improved it in the last year.

Thats a dang tall tire. I'd love to get that tall under my 67 Barracuda. I mini tubbed it and centered the tire in the wheel well. I beat the snot out of any thing I could to gain clearance. Width isn't a problem but I want the tire tucked and above the wheel opening.

I'm sure the suspension change helps. I'm running a RMS front and rear.

No sir I have not tried one.

I would love to. I do plan on using the car to travel and if I need to be careful I will. I don't know if I would use it all that often unless I will be doing considerable highway driving. I am fortunate in that my brother has 4 or 5 different gears already set up on 8.75 differential chunks. So I can play a bit without going broke!

Boy, that's quite a modern take on a classy car shape.

For some reason I thought you had an E body.


Oops, that's Sublime I am thinking of!

Understandable. I aint showed much info about my A-body. Soon I hope. She's what we might call... "in disrepair"
