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.

Unibody cars with stock floor and firewall (wheeltubs permitted) may attach roll bar with 6-inch x 6-inch x 0.125-inch (1/8") steel plates on top and bottom of floor bolted together with at least four 3/8-inch (0.375") diameter bolts and nuts |
Re: engine choice?
2016 Rulebook, "Unibody cars with stock floor and firewall (wheeltubs
permitted) may attach roll bar with 6-inch x 6-inch x .125-inch steel plates on top and bottom of floor bolted together with at least four 3/8-inch bolts and nuts, or weld main hoop to rocker sill area with .125-inch reinforcing plates, with plates welded completely. Also, the roll bar may be welded to frame connectors that are fully welded in place and are 1 5/8 inches x .118-inch MS or .083-inch CM round and/or 2 inch x 2 inch x .058 MS or CM rectangular." |
Re: engine choice?
Just another thing I've learned today.

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. |
