Title: Newish guy from Charleston SC
Post by: 1973Barracuda on April 04, 2018, 05:40:47 AM
New to this site, been lurking for a bit. Was an FEBO member for a while, mostly FABO really.

Have a 73 Barracuda I have had for 10 years. Current engine 360, have a 6.1 I have been wanting to put in for two years now. Just bought a house with an enormous garage. Finally think it will happen.

Welcome to the site!   :welcome:

I did a 392 Hemi swap just over a year ago, and there are a few others here that have too.  We have a Modern Hemi Swap section, and you can check out my post that has some detail and part numbers you will need.  https://forum.e-bodies.org/modern-hemi-swaps/26/392-hemi-swap-2016/67/msg432#msg432

I dissected your build a few times already!

I have the Holley package to drive the EFI, a a518 to go in there, need a SG rear still. That open I have won't do it.

So, I work in lots of other places, my car was in storage for over a year. First time I ever came back and it didn't start. Fuel issues in the tank. No gas. Changed filter and pump. So, had it towed.
