Only thing missing are Red Painted Cragars! Hahahaha In those years, they would put red steel wheels. It was so popular that tire manufacturers started putting red lines on performance tires. That's why I prefer painting old pitted and rusted Cragars Red instead of fake chrome paint. Those centerlines are great also! 😊
Bought a 65 Barracuda in 1993 just after graduating from college. Just a 225, but put a Clifford Performance header on it and a 2in exhaust. New springs, drums all around, new carpet, springs, and tires on it. Not fast but sounded great and was a great cruiser. Sold it in 2000. Miss it like crazy. Thing was in great shape and was a Northeast car. Love classic Mopars!
Thank you for putting another rear end in the Rocket Barracuda. I have been seeing that car on several video and feeling sorry for it! I am really hoping someone will still step up adopt it and bring it back to life. Without an axle, it’s chances would go from slim to zero! I’d adopt it myself, but I am on the other coast … plus my ‘64 Barracuda … and my wife … wouldn’t like it!
This one reminded me of 30 years ago when a did a gear swap on my javelin mod 20. Left the shackles in place but pulled the axle and replaced after the 4.10 posi upgrade. Oh to be young and strong again. 😂
I wanted to put a 8 3/4 in my 67 formula S. I found another 67 with one, had the correct e brake cables and 3.55 suregrip. i did what you did putting a 7 1/4 in its place, traded the whole car for a 85 charger 2.2, dont ask me why. charger had dead cylinder, so now is a charger 2.5. charger guy sold the red 67 fastback to some guy from Seattle, something about his kids staving. This was 20 years ago, the formula is in back of the shop, rearend in the barn. been busy restoring steam engines.
Great rear end swap! I do prefer the tapered Timken stock bearings over the so called "Green bearings" that folks are upgrading to, the tapered bearings are a little aggravating to set up but they last better in the curves, hills and hollows in my area!👍
@@DeadDodgeGarageJaime...love your videos....but I have to remind you that... YOU HAVE MULTIPLE MOPARS....THEY MAY BE CRAPPY BUT... ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THAT LAKE ...US NORMIES CAN'T GET THAT ...ON MARKETPLACE....THAT ESTATE CUDA...15000...NO LOW-BALLERS I KNOW WHAT I HAVE .. just saying... a little appreciation... Waiting for your reply calling me dumb... I'll just be over here watching someone who wants 12k for a house painted valiant
@@dartdude4084 I've saw several fail, a couple friends, this was in the 90's, my brother put a set in his 71 dart and they failed too, I decided they aren't for me but maybe they've changed since back then.
@@musclecarmitch908 I’ve heard about the failures 30 years ago. Dr Diff sells green bearings. The original green bearings actually came in packaging that said green bearings on it.
I use one of those tiny Milwaukee three eights for combine head set up at work. Absolutely the MVP. the kind of power you can get out of those five amp hour batteries is ridiculous.
I was Today's years old when I figured out.....?? Shared that with my Wonderful Bride of 30 years while we were installing new lower control arms on her Fusion
It's all good progress toward getting the '66 BarracudaTrack-Ready. Because with a buzzing 273 and 4.88's- it will be interesting to see what Garbage CAN do! I thought ADHD, ADD, and other alphabet soup superpowers were almost a requirement around here!
Maybe once upon a time your donor car had a donor car. That was common in the 1980's. I once paid $500 for a writeoff donor Demon with 340, A727, 8.75 rear (with 3.23 posi) and it all went into my 1966 Barracuda. After a few years in the rust belt, the Demoncuda's powertrain was transplanted again into a 1966 Valiant Signet. That Valiant rusted as well, so it all went to another Chryco A-body fanboy and I had my $500 back.
Oh very possible. Given where it came from, it may have been a drag car build in progress. There were 8 3/4s under multiple cars there that shouldn’t have had them.
Am I watching Dead Dodge Garage or Uncle Tony's Garage? Woke up to two white Barracuda thumbnails in my suggested viewing page. Do you guys call each other to coordinate outfits too?
I'll tell ya one thing that's fun, and that's finding a 8-3/4 for an A body (sarcasm). I lucked out just finding one with the 489 3rd member. Sure it's just a 3.23 open, but I can always swap that later
@@DeadDodgeGarage I already have 2 great kids that are nearly grown and gone, I’ll never date a woman again, my goals are to fix as many old vehicles as I can with the time I got left, it’s the closest thing to spirituality that I’ve found! 🤣
Oh that Past Jamie, always making problems for Future Jamie. How does Present Jamie deal with him? Great video, of course! Hoping to find an affordable Mopar 8.75 Early A Body rear end for my ‘66, but we’ll probably go the much cheaper Ford 9” route.
Im still having ptsd over cleaning my D100's 8 3/4... the donor truck sat in a farmers field for 20 years and he liked to flood irrigate. It was almost worth it to scrap it and buy a new housing but I didnt. They look really good when you grinder wheel the crap out of them. Almost factory looking. Is that.. a superbee emblem on the grill? 20:05
@Jamie do you do late model trans fluid swaps? I read the trans pan in my 2020 1500 Classic has to be replaced at the time of the fluid swap. If that's so I will be buying that aluminum pan that gives I thought 4 extra quarts? If you don't, can you recommend someone between you and I? I live up in Port Orchard. Every project takes forever, I just three days forming sheet metal to my dash for a switch panel...its still not done.
Ahh. I have several of them too...mostly beaters. My 90 would not do a burnout...my brothers 91 will. Mine could push thru incredibly impressive amounts of snow. We killed the engine and parked next to a haystack...a 1 ton bale fell on it 😆
It's been awhile since I've pulled a motor. But I've never pulled one whose bellhousing wrapped around the flywheel like this one in my 68 d300 4 speed slant.. am I supposed to pull the bellhousing out with the engine?
Yeahhhh. Those are a SERIOUS bastard. The one I learned on was my ‘69 W500. They’re insane heavy and capture the flywheel. Have to pull the engine with the bell on, unbolt the bell and lift it up and off.
@@DeadDodgeGarage uggh. Thank you. This thing has about a hundred different holes in its face. Like it's designed for every engine ever made. Lol... thank you!
theres a 66 formula s barracuda in the woods i with 27k original miles it was hit in the side in the late 60s and drug out into the woods on an old logging road and has been sitting since the early 70s not much left of her though the hood and trunk fall off the hinges from rust i leaned over against the seat to take the gauges out the dash and the seat fell over ive though about seeing if i could give the guy a few hundred and drag her out the woods for the engine and transmission but im not even sure if they would be saveable
OK, jus sore me first ever D Dart ! YEAH BABY. I Lub Barracudas. Dont luv centerLies , and spend time ponderin why E body CUDA's didn't come with a fastback?
Not sure you how figure. This is a 1966 Barracuda with a 1966 Dart nose. One obvious tell even with the car in its current stripped condition is the cut out for the one year only ‘66 tail light with the rectangular center section. ‘64-5 cars have a big circle at the bottom of the tail light cutout for the reverse light section.
Gear oil is what we generally run. ATF may lead to easier shifts, but it doesn’t give as much protection to the internal components. If you’re using gear oil, make absolutely sure it is GL-4, NOT GL-5.
@@DeadDodgeGarage didn't like the milk crate front end of the barracuda or fender turn signal indicators? I know im in the minority I like 66 over 64-65 because liking the barracuda wasn't enough for me lol.
