1970 plymouth barracuda gran coupe 318 727 original motor going in it eventually

Have any pictures for us to look at? Thanks

more pics

What was the original color combo? Do you have the fender tag? Love to see a pic of it if you do.

a pic of a car that ours will look like

its an original tx9 car with the p5x9 cloth and vynl interior. the body work has been completed and it was painted the original color and is now in the upholstery shop and is supposed to be done by fridayit is getting leather seats that look like the original 70 buckets. i should have more pics on friday

I'm confused? IS it getting leather seats or the original cloth & vinyl? I vite for the cloth & vinyl! Those are AWESOME looking in a black car. That would have also come with red door panel inserts that match the piping on the seats, what a sharp combo!

it will be getting seats like these but the door panel trim will still be there

But why?????? The cloth combo seats are so much more interesting (and nicer looking IMO) and less common?

we found a guy that does great work and for him to do the whole interior it costed around half of what the materials alone would have costed forr everything not including labor

I'm with Scott on the seats, the cloth looks a million times better, cooler and is hardly ever seen! But either way - build it as ya want it

i should have some pics to put on by friday of the imterior and the rest of the car

does anyone know where i can find a good small block crate motor that is affordable thanks

The seats you have chosen look really good to me.

thanks if budget would have allowed we would went back original but you couldnt beat this guys work and then he costs less than what materials would have costed

What engine? And please define "affordable".

Personally I'd put the original #'s 318 back in.

That car restored to bone stock original would be beautiful, yes, even as a plain jane 318 Gran Coupe. I can almost gaurantee you would never see another one like it. Whatever you decide, be sure to keep all the original parts, the next owner willlikely want them.

i know its crazy but im looking for something in the two tofour thousand dollar range.the original motor will be rebuilt later on thanks

2-4k for a complete crate engine? Yes, it does sound crazy (nicer term might be "unrealistic") but that much coin might cover the cost of a budget based 360 build or a decent rebuild of your original 318 with a few hop up parts though.

i had fount one that was built by carolina machine that was a 318 with around 300 horses and 9.5:1 compression for $3300 at carolina machine has anybody ever heard of them or bought fom em
thanks

If I was in your position I would watch the classifieds here on moparts for a good used built small block motor from a member in good standing on the board here.Im sure you can stay within your budjet and get a stroker motor or at least a 340.
