My 73 Barracuda build

[cuda496]

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 gauge, 318 having barracuda. Hopefully we will transform it into a BH, non-ralley gauge, 500 having Barracuda. LOL , over the last 20 yrs I have come across, and bought, the ...230 400 blocks. One of them is at the Machine shop now almost complete. Line hone and finishing up the 1/2 inch oil pick up modification.
Quick Sum of the Engine:
Molnar Rotating Assembly (4.15 stroke)( 10.5 Compression)
ICON Forged Pistons .040 over
TFS 240 Heads and Intake
FiTech 800hp Fuel Injection system
Hughes 271 cam,
Hughes Roller Rocker 1.6 system

Transmission:
727 reverse/manual valve body

As I get the pictures I will upload.\
Have a great day.

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 me a metal brake, then pattern out the braces, then cut, bend, and grind. I figured with most of the reviews saying how the purchased kit would need to have grinding done to fit properly, why not just get a sheet of 12ga Metal and do it myself.
