I'm pretty proud of getting my 83 Chrysler 5th Avenue back on the road last week, but from some of the post it seems like some are questioning the street cred of that sweet ride.
Anyway, with the momentum from finishing the 5th for motivation, I have this '68 Barracuda that is just sitting there needing just an engine, already made roadworthy a few years back, but pulled the engine for a build. Weighed 3005 lbs with the old all-iron 318, and has a 4.10 sure grip and 904. Thinking of just bolting in a 408 SB and adding a set of vintage lakewood slapper bars pulled off a 'bee that I've been saving for 11 years. I have one 408 street engine all done and ready for a home, but have another that needs a some cylinder head work (valvejob) that makes 115 more hp with a tunnel ram and solid roller. Just need to decide whether to just bolt in the engine that is ready to go, or wait to fix the more powerful engine (670 hp W5).
