: an 8-1/4" seems like underkill for a musclecar....... at least to me.
Just 'cause its a Barracuda doesn't necessarily mean its a
musclecar - they were available with the slant 6, after all. :-)
(Nothing against the slant 6, I'd just have a hard time calling
a vehicle equipped with one a "musclecar". The same goes for
some of the (stock) mid-70s 2bbl 318 and 360 motors. However,
even if the car in question does have a healthy amount of power,
the 8.25" can actually be built fairly stout.
