Hi all,

Please note - this is not a For Sale thread. I'm just asking for opinions. I've been trying to sell my slant-6 Barracuda for several months now. Everyone who has looked at it likes it a lot. However, each one has said they would plan to put a V8 into it after buying. A couple of them have mentioned a 383 or 440 conversion. Unfortunately, none of these prospective buyers are able to do this work themselves, and it is beyond their budgets to pay someone else do it. I'm thinking I'd have better luck selling it if I put a V8 in it myself. I am able to do most of the required work. The car already has disc brakes, and an 8-1/4" rear end in it, so a 318 or a newer 5.2 motor would easily work. Just wondering what everybody thinks? Do you think the increased value would outweigh the conversion cost? Would a small motor be sufficient, or would most people prefer something bigger? All suggestions or opinions are appreciated, thanks.

Roger
