Introduction to FEBO

[Rickuda]

Good Morning! My name is Rick. Own a 70 cuda and a 70 Dodge truck which was an experimental offering from Dodge that was sent to the military and the forestry division. (383 magnum, 727 trans, electronic ignition, and 4 wheel dr. I'm 61 years old and have owned many Barracudas. Bought this current one while stationed in Afghanistan. It's a rust bucket but I haven't had one in years so I bought this one to be the last car I ever build. Not looking to build a numbers matching show car, or a trailer queen. Just something fun to play with. I just hope I live long enough to see it finished...The red 68 was my first car in 1972, the blue one I bought in college and the Sublime Green is my current project...

Thank you all for the warm welcome! Here's a shot of my 70 waiting in the wings (woods) to get a spot in my shop while I collect parts...

I'd probably have to do the 383, that's just me though. Good luck on the build

Welcome Rick, nice project you have there & thank you for serving our country. The gen III hemi would pretty cool in my opinion.

Welcome from Panama !
Of those 3 I would likely build a 383/ 436 stroker or a 383 Twin Turbo with EFI

Welcome from Colorado!
Looks like an FJ6 BP code gran coupe. Any chance of seeing the fender tag on that awesome car?
Thank you for your service.

Thank you for your input. I have two gen lll hemi's, one out of an awd magnum and one from truck, but I'm an old hot rodder guy and all the new wiring and electronics intimidates me just a little. If someone had a good step by step book, download, something I could read and familiarize myself with the processes of installing the Gen lll in my cuda I would love to reap the benefits of all of the modern technology.

Wow! You sound like a guy that knows his cuda's! I'll try and remember to get you a shot of the fender tag.

Thanks for the input. I'm really leaning toward the 383 mainly because I have most everything to do that with. Need to figure out what carbs are best to run on a dual carb tunnel ram.
