Re: New to the sport
Or just jump in with both feet and build the 440/375 rated at 345hp.

Re: New to the sport
'69 Barracuda is a great choice, 318, 340, 383 and 440 are all good combinations.

Re: New to the sport
I just got done building one last summer with a 340. I install a roll cage, this is with no driver and no extra ballast. Pretty light car

However, I had no luck with the 2 Brl. on my 318. The latter 318s like we run and set the record with = Have a BIG four barrel carb and run O and P and are Fast and less temperamental. 340/383/440 are all quite good!

Re: New to the sport
Welcome to class racing, and look forward to another entry in the ACSSA. The 318 2bbl may be your best bet as a budget combo unless you want to make it fast. But we have many local racers in the maritimes running 340's so there is some experience and spare parts for those around. Also I have a 383 here going to together that could get you into the game.

Re: New to the sport
No 4 Brl in 318s until '76 model year as I remember.
340 is easy and I would be happy to help! PM me anytime. Providing you are happy to go .5 to .7 under 1.00+.......Well that is a different storfy!
