1968 Plymouth Barracuda Fastback (old school build with a new school feel)

Tore into the new engine that I picked to build a stroker out of. I decided to use a 2001 5.9 Magnum that had just under 70,000 miles. I am using this block to minimize machining cost. I can use stock bore sized hypereutectic pistons, do a dingle ball hone, and build a budget stroker. There are no signs of bore wear on this engine at all. The engine is very clean inside and out. Thinking I will go with Indy MA-X heads with the blend job and 2.02 intake valve.

The "brown look" in the cross hatch is just the flash from my phone.
