Plymouth Barracuda Repower Begins! Step 1, Engine and Headers!

It's been a long time coming but it's finally time to get this 1968 Plymouth Barracuda repower project moving forward! After removing the old tired leaky 318 V8 from under the hood and the worn out 904 transmission we ordered a brand new crate 360 Mopar, and sent the transmission out to Vickers Transmissions to get rebuilt and upgraded. Well, everything is back and the shop, we've got a bay to put it in, and let's get going! Fortunately for us most small block Mopar motors share a whole lot of the same architecture and sizing, so one out one in is pretty simple. Unfortunately because we're going to be adding a few little hot rod touches to this one, namely a set of headers, we're introducing some complications to the process. How much of a complication? Well, you'll see.
