It’s getting closer. Alternator bearing and diodes pressed on by one buddy (he also had a real MOPAR pulley rather than that Chinese one). Other buddy has the transmission almost (completely?) done. Sucked it up and now this looks like a 60s MOPAR small block. Yes it’s a 69 so it should be corporate blue but that color screams 70s to me. Since it’s an original 225 the story is this is a dealer installed a replacement 408 stroker and they only had a 68 in stock.
