Re: engine choice?
I don't think tech will buy a bolt in roll bar.

I believe the 69 383 Barracuda is at 295 hp. That's 4-5 less than the 340. With the Edelbrocks...maybe 300? Positive deck height with no valve relief is a limitation, and no aftermarket connecting rod available anymore (Eagle has larger than stock side clearance). |

Jim Hale ran his '67 with a 383 in G/SA and didn't too bad with it before he sold it.

Re: engine choice?
I believe that you will find, however, that all the braces and side bar must be welded to the car. I ran into that way back in 1980.
Jim Hale's current car is a 383 small valve, small carb combination - 1966 Belvedere Station Wagon.
