The 426 Hemi that was stuffed under the hood of the Barracuda was not the average run-of-the-mill Hemi. It was an improved version designed to be used in racing, not as a street model. Fortunately for Dodge lovers, though, some were produced for the street. The 1969 Plymouth Barracuda 428 Super Stock, dubbed as the B029 Super Stock car, had a high-capacity oil pump installed, as well as a dual-breaker distributor, Prestolite transistor ignition, metal core ignition wires, unsilenced air cleaners, an aluminum seven-blade fan, deep groove pulleys, and a heavy-duty radiator.
