| Closer inspection found typical rust from the humid Florida climate. |  |
So new floors were installed by my brother Bob |
 |
I also dumped the \6 for something a little more potent. |
 |
Dale Reed out of Los Angeles built the 410 stroker.The small block features the Edelbrock Performer RPM power package (heads, cam and intake) and makes gobs of torque. |
 |
The TTI headers fit perfectly in a tight engine bay. |
 |
Bob also narrowed the 8 3/4 rear end and relocated the springs to center 275 drag radials in the stock wheel well. With 4.10 gears, the Cal Tracs suspension helps keep the tires planted. |
 |
Up front are Mickey Thompson 6652 (26X8.00R15LT) and, shown here, 275/60R15 Mickey Thompson Drag radials on the rear. I run the MT drag radials to remain street legal. |
 |
A roll bar and sub-frame connectors stiffen the car and add a little more peace of mind. |
 |
The interior remains all business and features a Winters ratchet shifter. |
 |
The seats are out of my last Barracuda that was destroyed back in 2000. |
 |
I chose this bolt-on Super Max Wedge scoop for a little attitude. |
 |
The Barracuda runs mid 11s but is still being sorted out. I am looking for low 11s with a few minor tweaks. The Fish is licensed and insured and is street driven on occasion. The Plymouth creates a bit of a stir when idling at stop lights! |
