Engines for 1974 'Cuda
« on: August 18, 2006 - 11:04:15 PM »
What engines came in the 1974 'Cuda?  I am trying to learn as much as I can about the car before I start on it and this was one topic that I had been thinking about.  For the car to be classified as a 'Cuda, could it only have the 360 engine?  Would it have been possible to have a 'Cuda with a 318, or slant six, or were these engines only availible in the Barracuda?

Two engines only

360 4bbl   L code in the VIN

318 2BBl   G code in the VIN

The slant six stuff was over in 1972

Real 'CUDAs came either way but all 'CUDAs got the swaybars and 'CUDA trim wether they had 318s or not

Both engines were available whether the car was a Barracuda or Cuda as well.
