• Forged pistons
• Crane Lifter's
• Ported Heads
• Hooker Semi-Fenderwell Headers
• Edelbeock Performer Intake (With a Carter AVS Carb)

A Grant steering wheel, and new carpeting are the only changes to the other wise original interior. A custom made 2 1/2" exhaust with flowmaster and chrome side megs, and a 3.91 ratio 8 3/4 rear completes the underside. Cragar mags were an option for Barracudas in '65, which is why they were chosen for this car. The car was painted by the owner in his driveway with 3
finish coats of urethane enamel. The hoodscoop was homemade using epoxy resin and fiberglass. Future plans are for a custom made eight carb intake, and a custom dashboard. It has won many 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place trophy's at local cruises and shows, and it go's as good as it looks.
