Son of fishn4cudas Barracuda
« on: August 04, 2007 - 03:26:46 PM »
Well my son turns 15 this Dec and he wanted to dig his car out of storage. I told him since its his car he needs to work on it himself and I'll help. He had a smile from ear to ear when we got it out. It's a 67 Barracuda and he wants a 340 in it but I'd rather put a 318 in to start. We'll see.

Yea, the 318 is probably a good idea. We had a 67 Barracuda when I was a kid. It was the family car. It was either a /6 or a 318. I don't remember.

Tony,

  With that hoodscoop and all, I can envision that car looking like Old's Cool's car. You son probably isn't ready for that either.  :lol:

Well, as they say, the acorn doesn't fall too far from the tree. Good luck to you and your boy on yet another project.

Cool ride for sure. Put a 340/360 in it with a smaller cam and when he is ready you 2 can do a cam swap together   :working:  :burnout:

looks like a perfect driver.  if you got the 318 just 4 barrel/header it out,he'll be fine.  mayby run the smaller twin scoops for the "cool factor" :D
