1968's were a redish orange color. A very few were blue but i haven't found any reason why or when the switch. I have a '69 340 with a blue engine (original) but have seen red on other 69's.

from Jim coster in Pittsburgh, pa

i have two barracudas, a 68 340 fastback 4 speed formula s and a 69 383 fastback 4 speed formula s. Chrysler did not have any consistency in its engine colors during most of the 1960s. engines were painted either red or "Chrysler blue" - a turquoise type of color. i bought a new 340 formula s in 1968 and it had a red engine. my current 69 is all original and its 383 is Chrysler blue/turquoise. in 1970, all 340, 383,440, 426 engines were painted orange.

Very likely, as there was no 2007 Dodge Challenger.

unbolt it, take the belt off, take the wires off the alternator and replace with new alternator.

Yes, 1967, 1968 and 1969 barracudas have the same dashpad, algo you could get a 1968-1969 dart GTS (only GTS) and also fit your application.

Reference:

Me (1969 barracuda owner)

No a 1968 barracuda/dart dash pad is different then a 67 or 69.

the drive gear slips through the distributor opening in the block. there are two kind, pinned and shrink fit. if you have the gear off the shaft to the oil pump the flat side goes down and the end with the slotted end is facing up so you can adjust distributor timing at the spark plug. hope this helps.

the chassis on barracudas are quite a bit shorter, and most pre 69 cudas were hatchbacks or notchbacks

It depends on engine, transmission, rear end and rear gear options.

depending on rear end 2.76, 3.23, 3.54, 3.55, 3.91 and 4.10 gears were available

Aproximate top speed (based on 6000rpm redline)

4.10 = 113 mph

3.91 = 118mph

3.54/3.55 = 130mph

3.23 = 143mph

2.76 = theoretically good to 168mph, but most likely drag limited to about 150mph with 440 6pk/hemi.

The last Plymouth barracuda was made in 1974.

plymouth barracuda's were made from 1964-1974 it was launched 2 weeks before the ford mustang
