Just so you will know , The Cuda name was started by street racers and drag racers in the mid 60s .. Rather than say Barracuda they used a nickname Cuda .. Much like the guys today say Stang and not Mustang .. Chrysler overheard racers and street racing guys saying Cuda and not Barracuda and decided to use the name on a production model .. Back then for Chrysler it was race and win on Sunday and sell on Mondays at the Dealers ..

Wee pass me a beer to go with my popcorn.
The picture is a 1968 Hemi Barracuda . I should now it's my car .... The name Cuda was first used in 69 on 340 and 383 cars and short run of 430 440 Cudas .. The 430 cars built with 440s was to be a class legal NHRA super stock cars .. Just like the old days you now can get a brand new SS package Challenger from Chrysler ..
So you had a 1968 Hemi Cuda right? Before you expalined this you said First Cuda was 69 model with a pic of a 68 Cuda the other guy said was a Baracuda. Am I condused yet??
:-) I need another COLD Beer it was way over a 100 here today.

Read what i said " The real thing in action " , I just posted a picture of my car and is clearly a 68 Hemi Barracuda ( Nickname Cuda ).. 69 is the first year that the Cuda name came on a car ..But people have been calling them Cudas since the mid 60s ..

The block was not changed much , other than making it stronger .. I can take a 68 hemi crank and bolt it right in a top fuel motor . I can swap heads . cams , dist , intakes ..The deck is still 10.720 tall , bore spacing has not changed ..
Many have tried to build a better hemi but it allways goes back to the first design .. Other than making it stronger it is very much as it was in 1964 when Tom Hoover the father of the Hemi first built the 426 Hemi engine ..
