Performance:
440 c.i.d. carefully prepped by Porting Dynamics in Maple Grove, Minnesota equals 650 hp and 650 lb/ft of torque on pump gas! Badfish pulls the front wheels off the pavement and 10.47 seconds later is hauling through the traps at 130 mph. No four-link. No traction aids. Just a leaf spring suspension the way Mother Mopar intended. 60 foot times? Best of 1.47 seconds. No power adders, either. Just loads of RB Mopar power. Like the tag on the trunk lip reads: All Throttle...No Bottle.

Yet, when I cork the exhaust with a pair of Flowmasters and torque up some Cooper street skins, I can motor over to the Dairy Queen for an ice cream cone!

She is a car show winner and routinely sends Shivvies and Ferds whimpering back home. Gotta love that Mopar power!

She is definately a sweet machine. I also have a 72 but we kept it all original. We have a 73 that we are goin to beef up a little. Definately check my 72 out. I must say it is nice to hear that much power with the mopar rumble.

That is a killer car man. I grand-pa actually use to race a 72 barracuda. Man did he even win some races. He also actually got quite a few dings on his old helmet. I guess thats what happens when you got so much power that you make big boys like ford f-series cower from so much damn raw power.   I would love to get my hands a a barracuda like that. Where did you pick yours up? Found it in a scrap yard and resto-moded it or did you get from the old man?
