Along with building the engine, I am trying to stiffen up the Unibody, I seen some kits online for frame connectors, torque boxes, inner fender braces, and core supports. I assumed I could make them myself. I would not have to if I had just as much money as I did time. hehe. First I had to make...
So I am going to start this and try to keep it going. I have had my 73 Barracuda in my garage for the last 7 yrs. My beautiful daughter has been asking all winter when we are going to start on it, maybe because she is 14 and will be driving in a couple years.
So Here we go. Its a BH, non-ralley...
LOL, that will be a hard one. But she does have me wrapped around her finger. I will consider it if she works REAL hard on the Cuda. LOL I am definitely going to have her at my side torqueing down some bolts on that engine.
Moparleo,
Shop has the pistons, so I am good there. I dropped off the entire rotating assembly a couple weeks ago for the balancing. It is coming along. I just need to get my but in gear an start getting the cuda ready. It still needs a lot of work. Nothing but fun. Funny thing is. Its been...
Ah I see, I figure I will go with TTI. I am just stingy with my money and hate seeing it go that way. I am fighting it, but know in the end with all the good advice I will go that direction. But I don't have to like it Damn It!!! LOL
I went with the Mean Street , up to 800hp. Doesn't have...
So just an Update. I went with Molnar on the Crank(4.15) and Rods(6.760). Icon Pistons(-23cc), King Bearings, Trick Flow 240 heads, Fi Tech Mean Street EFI. Still waiting for the machine work to get finished so I can pick the block up and assembly. And I haven't chose a Cam quite yet. I cant...
Thanks IQ52,
Did some searching and apparently Molnar makes some pretty good stuff. I was leaning towards SCAT and would be spending about $1900 for the Crank, Rod and Pistons (ICON). Going Molnar would be about $1950 for crank, Rods and Pistons (ICON). Still waiting for the Machine shop to get...
Moparleo,
Thanks for the welcome. I will be building the engine myself. I was just trying to find the best rotating assembly for the money, seeing if anyone had recent experience. I have been looking through forum and reviews, the info is not consistent. Some good some bad on the same...
TC_Cuda Thanks for the welcome,
I am building this engine. It will not be the first one, hopefully my last. LOL. I suppose I was trying to get away without the "little additional work" being needed. I know everything should be checked and not used OOTB, but I feel I should be able to if I am...
Hello All,
I am building a 400 stroker, I have decided on 4.15 stroke ending up right around 496.
My question is who has the highest quality rotating kits out there for around $2500?
I am trying to keep the price around $2500. It will be ran on the street, with ideally around 10.5 compression...
