You reading this, Psychoward and Wildfish72?

And ..... Hey, Doc! I was hoping you would check in. Thanks!

I appreciated your posting on small-block heads. I printed it off and put it with my aforementioned "files".

And thanks for bearing me out regarding engine availability for the '72 Barracudas and Challengers. I was relying on my ever deteriorating memory on that one, and I based that assertion on the fact that I bought a '70 Duster new, then a couple of years later I went back to talk to my dealer to discuss trading for a '72 440 Barracuda. They couldn't sell me one. Just as well, I guess. I went home and kept the Duster for thirteen more years.

Tell me something not engine related: Will the torsion bars in Wildfish's Barracuda be adequate? Or are they adjustable to the extent that they can accommodate a big block? I have wondered about that.

And how about his cooling system?

Your comments are appreciated.
