ProTouring Orange Krate Cuda
Ok - well, spring is here, the basement's nearly done, and it's time to get going on the Barracuda again.
So, to get things started, I got me a HEMI! A great deal on a 0 mile 2008 "DR" version of the 5.7L, and I only had to drive two hours south to get it. Not too bad - I'm pretty happy that I was able to find a BRAND NEW engine for the project.

All loaded on the trailer - ready to make the trip home.

Need to pull the intake off so that the chain doesn't bust up anything on the intake. It also revealed it an MDS engine.

A bit blurry, but soon they will be one.
