Hello from South Africa

Hi All

I have a 69 Barracuda, RHD, here in SA. She was running with a slant 6, but I plan on installing a 383 or 440 (if it will fit) with a 727 Torqueflight box. So the 6 is out and mountings for motor and tranny are currently being fabricated.

I hope to learn some stuff from the Mopar guys in the know. We are more "European" here, so the cars are the VW, Toyota, Honda, Beemer etc, although there is a healthy and growing support of old school Chevys and Fords, and to a lesser extent, Mopar.

Here are some pics of my car:

Welcome to the forum... Be sure to check out the Mopar of the Month contest... A 383 or a 440 will fit in your car.... A 440 came as an option in 69 and a 383 came in my 68.....
