Yea I know its weird but I recently acquired a '66 barracuda that was a
drag car, really cheap too. It has no motor or tranny but it was a factory
273 car and Id like to put my slant 6 in it. But would I have to swap k members to do this?? You can laugh now.... It's very light
and would be very competitive

You're in luck - the K Frame is the same whether for a 6 or 8. You must use the 6 mounts - I'm just not sure whether they are 63-66 specific or can use the 67-72 mounts

AND you get all the good V8 stuff like the 10 inch brakes, ball bearing steering gear unit, 5 leaf rear springs, heavier T-bars and a stronger rear axle. Do it!

You will need the 63-66 "A" body, slant six engine brackets, insulators (mounts), oil pan and pickup. Any year engine and matching trans will work.

Well The 5 leaf rear springs are nice but the previous owners set it up for
a narrowed rear, already complete w/tubs! YAY!!

Just wondering what makes you think it started life with a 273 if nothing is original.

Well the car still has it's original vin plate which denotes a 273V8 and
the v8 emblem on the fender

It's not very shiny or pristine but if anyone wants to check it out see my '71 Duster gallery

You lucky bastard!

Ummm... Thanks

I struggled for several years to restore/modify a 66 barracuda formula "s" that I eventually had to give up on due to extensive body damage. Anyone who has been part of the online slanted community for over two years probably remembers my struggles.

You mean, my slant powered 66 Cuda will have a friend at Wilkesborro?

Well Glad to hear you'll be bringing it back. All the slant gang will be seeing it, but it might be a while Im going to have to come up with a narrowed rear or build one...
