    Consensus on disc brake upgrades?

    Hello All, I got pulled aside about driving around on on my factory finned front brake drums. It's been years.. (it hasn't been driving until now anyways), but cheapest fix -> buy any old two new drums. Which I haven't done, and leads into do a brake conversion. The three options are the...

    I have a 1971 barracuda 318/a904-la, and the trans is $1600 to rebuild before even a shift kit.. What vehicle can I find at pick n pull, grab the tranny and slap it right in and go?

    Fabrication near Silicon Valley? torque boxes, frame stiffening and trans tunnel conversion

    Does anyone know anyone near Silicon Valley (San Francisco South Bay; or greater area) who is good with all this welding/fab? This will be the basis for drivetrain upgrade and manual conversion. Not sure what's gonna end up up front. But I want it manual. What are my options for a manual...

    71 Barracuda drivetrain swap target?

    Ok, delusions of grandeur are over. I have a 71 Barracuda 318/a904la (failing) with a 7 1/4 rear end I have named peanut. If I wanted a new engine that gets mileage and can still smoke em when desired, trans that has overdrive (want manual but yes difficult...), can make a weekend driver...

    Would a pistol grip fit here (bench seat Barracuda)?

    Hey all, I replaced the shift shaft seal on my A904-LA, and it's leaking like crazy. My buddy has an e-body (I believe 23 spline) pistol grip four speed. My car was made column transmission because of the bench seat, and then the first owner had A/C installed at the dealership. I've heard of...

    Pipe Dreams - how do I build a blower motor?

    I have this 71 Barracuda (<-- pic to the left). It's a 318 auto base model, nothing that desirable. But it's B7, bench seat (forced column shift), dealership installed A/C, and I have all the paperwork. Not exactly a shell mod donor but the 318 sucks almost as much gas, and doesn't go... And...

    DIY Home Alignment?

    Hey folks, Does a walkthrough/video for an E body home alignement exist? Is it any different from other torsion bar suspensions? I'm seeing results for A & B body, but not here. I have a fancy alignment shop, but it's far and I need to drive it there, and I want to dial it in before anyways. I...

    Cooper Cobra Radial GTs or Hankook Kinergy ST (H735)s

    Tire Talk! I'm coming near the end of my suspension overhaul and it's time to order rubber (Wait do they make graphite injected polyeurethane tires?). Tirerack stats say the Coopers are superior. Some outfit back east called Mavis Tire says the opposite (as in stats show the Hankooks superior...

    Super Heavy Torsion Bars?

    Ok, I have got down to Firm Feel & Sway Away as best options with the new(er) crowd of really beefy bars, with clocking to offset such performance. $395 vs $339. I called Sway Away, the tech told me don't install their 1.24 or 1.20 foot pounds per inch torsion bars, those are race application...

    Torsion bar upgrade?

    Hey folks, Torsion bars are off and we are replacing all suspension rubber with graphited polyeurothane. Lower control arm bushings were the worst. Anyways, 318 car (refreshed; bearings, timing kit), A-904-LA, the little baby rear end.. Nothing fancy. Also put in 2" lowering blocks on the rear...

    71 318/a904LA pan cooler lines &..

    Hi all, my 71 Barracuda has a leaky tranny pan (one sealing section has a gouge, and the whole surface apparently is not flat enough, and I beat the crap out of the bolt holes). The cooler lines are "extended" with a 4" section of rubber tube (from the last owner). All attempts to stop the...
