Re: engine choice?
I was told to check this tread out. Paul is right. I have a 68 cuda that I was going to turn it into a 69 but I just sold that 318. I have not decided what to build next. By the way there is an accepted piston on the list with 4 valve reliefs. That took me over 6 months. Pat was very stubborn.

Re: engine choice?
Thanks Marlin for getting a piston approved. I sent him a Sealed Power, one from Silo-Lite and another one and as much documentation as I could dig up like pages from the service manuals, etc. Now I have to see which one has the four notches. I don't remember Diamond having two pistons before, but I don't see any Stocker pistons listed for a 318 on their website.

Re: engine choice?
69 Baracuda is the year- /6-318-340-383-440 take your pick. I have a 69 notch, and a gazillion 318s laying around, decisions decisions. If I can just get this Duster finished, shoulda done the Cuda first. LOL

"Get a 69 grille, header panel and tail lights" I am not sure that would be easy or cheap. I have thought about converting by 69 to a 68 but always thought I could not afford a nice set of grills. Good luck with your project, please keep us informed of you choices and progress. Bill |

Re: engine choice?
The front grills and nose cone are hard to find for a Barracuda. A Dodge Dart is easier to swap.

Re: engine choice?
Also keep in mind that 67s have no side marker lights, 68s have round marker lights, 69s are rectangular, and much larger. Hell, I`m a Ford guy, and even I know that.

Re: engine choice?
That is what I do. I have a good customer that wanted it. I have already started on another. I will just get my 68 hemi cuda out for the next race. The reason I built the 68 318 stocker is there is very little maintenance,I new it would be fast after I got the piston with notches oked and I did not want a roll bar car. Racing in a t-shirt this summer was nice too.
