HOLLEY GEN III HEMI SWAP OIL PAN, 1970 Cuda 392 Hemi

Thanks for checking out our channel Mr Cuda! My first car was a 1974 Cuda and now my son and I own this 1970 Barracuda that was passed down in the family. Ever since my first Mopar I have always been a Plymouth Cuda fan. From my early days I always wanted to make a resto mod type car. When the 1970 barracuda was passed down to me I was in the beginning stages of restoring the 1974 but I decided to sell the body of the car. At that time I saved a lot of the parts from the 1974 Cuda to help with this resto mod on the 1970 Barracuda. This 1970 Barracuda is a Gran Coup 318 car and sometime in the 90s the engine was swapped. It has also been well used and a road warrior that has seen its fair share of fender benders. The car has been repaired but not a perfect car. This car is a great platform for the Gen III Hemi swap and since we have so many Cuda parts to help make a transformation this will become a 1970 Cuda resto Mod. I want to document the process for myself and my son, but also share with anyone interested in these types of muscle car transformations.

The K frame on the Cuda crossed under the front of the 392 engine when it is mounted. We will need a mid sump oil pan. In this video we have the front sump oil pan removed, install the pickup tube and all the hardware with a mod sump oil pan. B gets to try out a torque wrench for the first time.
