awesome car. what's your budget? Do a 318 stroker
Use an 86 or later block, factory roller lifters, nice cam...
Looking for 1975 through 1978 B body 4 door sedan sheet metal or parts cars - monaco, fury, coronet. Please let me know

I just brought 1971 Barracuda Gran Coupe project, wonder if it is rare and it only make 1020. Should I restore it back to normal with 318. And it have a lot of option, it have build sheet and fender tag:
J81-Rear Spoiler (Gull Wing) C26-Roof Console J78-Front Spoiler A21-Elastomeic/Color Front Bumper A45- Spoiler Package F&R very RARE on a non-'Cuda FE5-Rally Red J54-Rally Hood RARE on a non-'Cuda E44-318
With the documentation you have & it's rarity (combined with the fact that it survived 44 years without being robbed of parts or already "cloned" into a HEMI'Cuda) - leave it a GRAN COUPE. If you "need" more power - stay small block!
Got tag & sheet pics?
Does it look like the RED grill has always been there?

Very well optioned. It is always cool to see a 318 car that is still a 318 car.
If you can fix any safety issues & get it running reliably, it would draw a lot of attention at any show just the way it is.
I agree!! Sometimes it's very cool to see the more pedestrian cars. Not that this one is, it's quite the opposite! See, I love seeing ordered cars because they reflect the personality of the original owner. In this case, somebody wanted to be a Flash Harry, but either didn't want a gas guzzler or didn't street race.
I have a pair of AMC Hornets. One a powder blue six, the other a bright yellow V8/stick car. (One Mild, One Wild)
The blue Six gets more attention. Drives me insane!

What is your opinion
Personally I'd clone it into a 440/6 or HEMICUDA...but it's YOUR car, to do as YOU please
