I transplanted a 1974 360 in my 70 barracuda. I got a saginaw power steering pump for it (previous pump missing). For the life of me I can’t find the correct high pressure hose. The steering box has a male fitting and the pump has a female fitting. I tried using 1970 and 74 to search for the hose. I already tried 2 hoses. Does anyone have a part number for the correct hose? This is the last item I need to find before I can finally drive the car. Thanks

Is it true a starter out of a 92 Dodge Dakota can be used in an older 340 or 360 LA engine?
I was watching Garage Squad. They said this starter is a mini starter and can even be used in a big block. I heard there are two different starters for the Dako…

I have a 70 Barracuda. When I bought the car, the driver side window would not go down. When I opened up the door panel, I found half the teeth on the large gear were totally missing. I installed an aftermarket regulator. When I installed it I noticed …

I have a 70 barracuda with a slant six. I’m converting to a 360. I have the engine, 727 trans, the K member, and the rear end with posi from another E body. Can I use the old leaf springs and U bolts. Can I just get a drive shaft from another E body with a small block and 727 trans or do I need to measure and get a new drive shaft? Or can I use the old drive shaft. I had a 904 trans with the slant. I don’t plan to race it, just a daily driver. Thanks

I have a slant six in my 70 Barracuda. I’m going to convert to a small block 360. I have a 26″ radiator that I had in my 73 Challenger. The 26″ doesn’t line up with any of the mounting holes. Do they make a mounting plate for the passenger side or will I need to replace the whole radiator support? I currently have a 19″ rad. Should I use a 22″ rad and forget about the 26″. I want to add A/C eventually. Thanks

I have a 1970 barracuda with a slant six with an auto trans. I would like to swap the six for 340 or 360 with a 727. Does anyone sell a conversion kit for the motor mounts so I won’t have to change the K member? Also, do I need to change the trans. cross member? I know I will need to get a new drive shaft and eventually a new rear end. Thanks

Is the radiator for a Challenger the same as a radiator for a Barracuda? I have a relatively new radiator that I bought for my 73 Challenger (360 engine). I sold the car but have a 70 Barracuda. I tried to bolt the radiator in the Barracuda but none of the holes line up. None of the brackets seem to land on a flat surface. I tries longer bolts and spacers but that didn’t seem to work. Do I need to replace the radiator support? The Barracuda had a slant six. Any suggestions? Thanks
