Cool to see that there are still unmolested engines out there for reasonable prices,seems like you have a nice project going on here!

It's a 1968 (supposedly from a '68 Barracuda) 318 - untouched.....heads have never been off...no overbore - nothing.
$100 on Craigslist.
For my 1968 Barracuda.

For now I'm just gonna clean it up, tear it down and inspect/measure it.....
As money trickles in the plan is:
Stroke it to 392 (.040" overbore)
Roller cam
Fuel injection
Aftermarket heads

I remember seeing that engine on CL. Glad you liked it. You're not too far. I'm in Covina.
