Dip stick handle is original. The original motor was pulled out in 1974 and a red painted 1968 340 slightly built engine was installed for drag racing. Some of the bolts and brackets from the 69 motor were installed on the 68 motor.
Here are a few more pics. The motor is Tourquoise. It looks like he swapped the bypass hose from the 69 motor to the 68 motor as you can see the engine paint still on the hose clamps. Boy, now I wish that I had taken more photos.
