65 Barracuda & A 5.7 or 6.1 Hemi AlterKtion Questions
« on: February 28, 2008, 02:39:55 AM »

Hey! I have a 1965 Barracuda and I'm thinking about putting a 3g Hemi in it and a TCI 904. I have searched the threads, but haven't really found anything about someone stuffing this combo into their car.So...here's my questions:
1. Will it fit without cutting?
2. Hood clearance?
3. Anyone done this with a AlterKtion?

Any answers would help. Also If you are currently attempting this project yourself, I'd really like to see some pics. You can send them to musicman_evh@hotmail.com .

Thanks!

Look on page 6 of this forum. I think the photos have been removed but you  may get some helpful info. I know
the new Hemi's along with the Alterkation K-Frame will fit, with a few modifications. There are a few early A-Bodies
out there with this combination. I wanted to do this myself but I lost the engine to a higher bidder. Good Luck and
keep us posted.
Thanks,
Benny

 You have to make a little room on the passengerside fender well in order to get the valve cover off without pulling the einge. I made indentions for two of the valve cover bolts and a hole for the center valve cover bolt. With the alterktion I can access the center valve cover bolt from under the fender well above coil over. I can send you pictures if you like. Im using the truck hemi, the car hemi is a different story.
