This is correct - I swapped in a 440 into my 1972 340 Barracuda using the original K-frame. I am pretty sure I used the stock 440 brackets and motor mounts for the swap - I would say more definitely, but its been almost 30 years. I did used the stock small block K-member though.

An interesting side note - I did a quick look on E-bay, there were 12 1973 Challengers listed. All of them are listed ranging from $32,000 to $138,000...

I believe the numbers (original number of cars manufactured) makes these cars valuable for all years (Cuda's and Challenger's). Obviously the 70-71 Hemi convertibles are on top value-wise, but those that can't afford those help drive the value up on the rest of the model years. The value in the...

I have to add my Challenger pics to the thread - My pair are a 2015 Hellcat (6spd manual) and my 1974 360 auto (originally a 318 car) And I want to have the 1972 Barracuda 440 auto with the Challengers (originally a 340 Barracuda)

Looks like a fairly complete project as well as a great project for making memories with your dad!

Welcome to the club!!! No time better than the present!!! I do understand where your coming from. I bought my Cuda when I was 17 and I turn 60 this year, but mine was on the road into the 90's... lol

At first thought I would say you have too much tire, but I checked my 72 Barracuda and it has 245/45ZR17's and they don't rub. It's possible the fast ratio pitman arm is your issue - I believe the fast ratio pitman arm is longer than stock so the same steering wheel movement will move the...

You got me curious as well - here is some info I found interesting; The Real Story About Nash Bridges’ Plymouth Hemi ‘Cuda

Welcome!! Toys are looking good!! From the pictures the Challenger looks like a pretty solid project!! I like the 72-74 Challenger front and rear better than the earlier style. I am converting my 74 Chally into a rallye clone. I struggle to leave any of my projects stock, mainly because they...

Looks like your doing it right - taking it down and building it back up again the way it should be done. Obviously that takes a lot of time and dedication!!!

Welcome from a fellow AAR Cuda fan!!! I am also in the process of creating my own AAR Cuda. Mine will be created from 72 340 Cuda and a 6sp manual.

The carb fuel bowl vent would be left open, any vacuum port would be plugged (or hooked up to the vacuum required line)

I had a 72 Cuda 340 (Calif emission standards) with the charcoal canister and I pulled the canister and vented the tank at the metal vent line (in the engine compartment) to the atmosphere with no issues. That was many years ago. I put many miles on it and never had any issues...

Welcome aboard - I am a fan of all older Mopar products. Some I like more than others, but I like them all. I have a couple A-bodies, a 67 Dart and 71 Duster as well as some E-bodies, all though they are obviously different than E-bodies, A-bodies still use many of the same parts and react the...

A couple thoughts - does the hood line up without the latch? Does it get to 100%. Verifying you have a latch issue? You have the old striker - correct? How does the wear marks line up when you had it installed? (Does it now engage Forward of the old wear marks? In the radius area?) I am also...
