This 1971 Plymouth ‘Cuda Is The Perfect Convertible

March 1, 2019

Tim had originally fitted a Gen II Hemi under the hood, but after a year of driving it, decided that it just wasn’t what he wanted. After selling the old engine, a new Gen III was installed instead. Paired with this engine is a Tremec T56 Magnum six-speed transmission. It was not a particularly simple engine swap, with the plumbing also needing an upgrade, to accommodate the new drive train. The result is 500 horsepower, and 20 MPG. Not bad for a 392 V8. You can keep your convertible Mustangs and Corvettes: this ‘Cuda is my dream.
