Good shape mechanically but up close and under the hood it's rough.

Lol Here are the specs: Here is the combo: 1968 Fastback Barracuda 318 stroker (390cid) K1 4" forged crank Eagle Rods H-beam rods Ross flat top pistons - 11:1 compression Edelbrock heads -minor porting Comp solid cam (.540/.555 252/262 @.050 106 lobe sep) 727 & Dynamic 9.5� converter Cal-tracs, mono leaf, Rancho 9way shocks & Cal-tracs 90/10 front shocks Carter mechanical fuel pump -- Now Aeromotive 2000 fuel pump TTI headers 1 5/8 step headers with full 3� TTI exhaust, X pipe with Dynomax turbos 6 point roll bar Aeromotive 2000 fuel pump 4.30 gears MT 28x10.5 slicks M1 intake Holley 950 HP Alcohol carb Car weighs 3,095 so race weight is somewhere close to 3,250lbs so I think that calculates to just over 550hp at the flywheel. Timing is 38 degrees. Last edited by WadeMetzinger; 02/01/13 07:20 PM.
