Shout out to
@RickFinsta @Snafu12 As my W8 thread hit many roadblocks. It is still in play Thread here But something else happened lol. I drug home a 68 Barracuda Fastback, with a 434ci W9 deal that makes 976hp @ 8400. 14.5:1 deal running on Q16. At 3100lbs, on a 10.5 tire with 4.88s this thing is an animal. I love it. Tube K-frame, coilovers, Dana, spool, Mega awesome Weldon fuel system. And an uncut body. No tubs, no nothing. Just a cage that won't pass tech for the cars time. Car has gone 5.76@121 on footbrake, transbrake hasn't been used yet. Engine compartment, floors and trunk still with "EXCELLENT" factory paint. CA car with factory rustproofing. This thing is going to be a blast at the track, slow it down a bit and run 6.0 index. The fuel bill is going to suck though. Attached File |

Work, life, and shit like this keeps getting in the way. Meanwhile, I have Another build thatbis about 30% done. This car ain't helping. I needed to buy a roller....bought a whole car. So I still have too many engines lol. |

Awesome barracuda. I regret selling every Mopar that I've owned over the years. I might have to look for another project car if I can ever finish my '79 power wagon.

I had a 69 Cuda 340 fastback.
The engine came out of a 1970 AAR Cuda, 340 6 barrel and 727 trans, sold it in 1990. |

That shit pisses me off. There is so much work involved. I hate when dummy minimize the effort and expense that others go through. Just like that comment. |

However, sometimes you just gotta drive around with a Dale Cubic-built 1350 Dominator that has the idle air-bleeds completely removed because the power valve is also missing from the metering blocks lol.
Attached File *for the unknowing folks.....basically, this carb has a few fuel passages that are normally metered. But this one is has wide open passages....the missing air bleed is just a band-aid to mellow out the the amount of fuel that is getting pulled into the engine. Imagine an M60E6 that no one was paying attention to. That's what this is. |
