Re: Musclecars That Should Have Been Made
M68,
I like your choices. The 70 A-Body cars should have been ready for a 440. My personal favorite/wish. My 69' 440 Cuda. But, with 11.5 pistons, Stage III Max-Wedge heads, an aluminum dual-plane high-rise with 850 Holley. And add in the .500 lift, 300 duartion solid-lifter Max-Wedge cam. Some lightening equipment, like aluminum water-pump housing, oil-pump, and trunk-mounted battery. Maybe if Chrysler could convince Alcoa to re-start casting aluminum heads, a nice set of aluminum Max-wedge heads. That should have gotten the car down to around 3225lbs. with 400HP (8.00 - 8.49 wt/hp) Paul |

Re: Musclecars That Should Have Been Made
X-Tech or M68,
A-Body question. 1967 Plymouth Barracuda Weight w/273 #2940 Weight w/383 #3182 1968 Plymouth barracuda Weight w/340 #3005 1969 Plymouth Barracuda weight w/440 #3405 Do these weights sound correct. my 69' 440 Cuda had a weight registration of #3310. Going by the weights, than a 67' 383/280HP would have been classed in D/S for 1967, and G/S for 1968. Is that correct.,,,Paul |

Re: Musclecars That Should Have Been Made
A 70-72 Duster with a
400, two 800 cfm 4barrels, 2.25X1.81 valves, a 700 lift cam, and a special T bolted block. second option that had special castings of the hemi head that would fit the wedge block. It would also be fitted with a scoop for clearance and design such that it weighed 2900 lbs with the driver. This engine would be kicking over 8500rpm easy and reeking havoc in a SS/B-D classes.

Re: Musclecars That Should Have Been Made
Boss 351 Maverick
455 Stage 1 Omega RamAirV '73 GTO SOHC Mustang, Maverick or Boss 429 '70 Falcon ZL-1 '69 Chevelle RamAir IV or V Pontiac Astre '70 Hemi Duster 440 Duster/Demon with Max-wedge top-end These are all easily buildable with pretty much factory parts. Randall AMC in Mesa,Az. built 401 Gremlins & even a few 401 Pacers!  Baldwin/Motion built a few big-block Vegas & would build/sell most anything you could imagine. Mr. Norm's pretty much did the same thing in Chicago. Unfortunately the other dealers didn't see fit to do this with their marques, but I'll bet Tasca Ford had a few oddball cars running around.....
