    Newb from France
    « on: December 03, 2008 - 12:39:38 PM »
     :wave: :wave:
    hello my name is Lilian
    from France
    I bought a 71 barracuda off ebaymotors a couple of week ago with a 05 used hemi engine on a pallet.

    the fish is currently sailing to France. it will be my first mop' since 1992 when I sold my 72 340 cuda to buy mustangs ( noone is perfect I know)
    at the moment, I own 2 65 mustangs ( HT and fastback) and 2 66 mustangs ( HT and GT)

    I am already working on how to swap the late Hemi in the cuda and mate it to the 4 spd transmission.

    Wow!  How many Mopars do you see in France???  I can't imagine that many...  That'll get some attention!

    Welcome to the board!  I really, really hope I can make it to Paris some day.  I would REALLY enjoy sampling some French Cuisine.

    That looks like a very interesting project.

    I'm guessing you're going to strip off all the plastic and wires and put a carburretor on it. 

    What will you do for a distributor ?

    Cool!
    I was watching that car on Ebay.
    It was here in Lubbock, Tx.
    Good luck with the project.
    Keep us posted.
