1970 Barracuda Reanimated.

[Marty]

Curiosity got the best of me. I found a picture of my exhaust manifold. The part number 3071595-2. It apparently was used on the 71-72 440 HP B bodies.

  Well, the engine was fired up yesterday (Saturday.) Everything went smoothly. No issues, hiccups, or leaks. Sounds great and runs smoothly. Still, plenty to do but the major hurdles are out of the way.

Congratulations on getting it running!  Glad all went well.  What plans do you have for the car after it's finish?  Drive the wheels off to showcase your work?

Congrats on the successful start up.    I know that and the cam break in are always a major item to get checked off the to do list.  You're almost across the finish line now!

Congrats on the breathing of life into the project. It's a milestone for sure.

Thank you!

The first thing is to get it ready for the Starbird Show in February. A Three-day indoor event. After that your correct, drive it and show it.

Thank you.

We were surprised how smooth the start-up and break in was. Everything fell together. Just one minor leak at the front carb line.

Crossed another milestone today.

Thank you.

The anxiety has been lifted.

The electrical glitches have all been sorted out. So, lighting system works as far as that goes. This includes the Dakota RTX. Engine vitals are where they are supposed to be. Oil pressure and engine temp.

Even better, The Barracuda was moved today for the first time in decades(?)... on its own power!  They're getting the shop ready for a Christmas party and getting all the cars in place for display.

The other 1970 'Cuda is there for a new exhaust system. It will compliment mine nicely.

Merry Christmas.

Car looks great!    Those dakota Digital clusters sure look nice! One of my favorite aftermarket parts to come along.
