    69 vs 70 Roadrunner front fenders

    The 68 and 69 Road Runner had the raised line about 1 1/4" from top but the 70 Road Runner is totally smooth. I wish my '70 was a '69 although they are almost the same. The tail lights are excessive and I miss the fender line. The Road Runner gold bird turd trail down the side does not match...

    The Elephant In The Room: unloading the load from a B-body.

    I went too far on my '68 Road Runner but my best time 383 (bored .60 over), four speed crash box, Lakewood scatter shield, 8 3/4 rear end, 2" hooker headers, stock heads that I ported and polished myself, Edelbrock Tarantula manifold (NOT torquer), battleship springs, single 4 barrel carburetor...

    Is this a Dodge or Plymouth upper door "pad" metal?

    does anyone have the drivers side rear stainless steel molding that fits right below the steel molding above. I got the metal piece from Mike. It fits perfect.

    What size are the rear tires and wheels? It looks like it is tubbed, is it?

    Comment by 'ROYSTOLL2' in item 'Race car to Pro street'

    My '68 Road Runner had a fiberglass hood which I made in 1970, was lightened to 2,690 pounds. It was a 383 (bored .60 over), 4 speed crash box, which I made myself grinding every other gear tooth out. Lakewood scatter shield, 8 3/4" rear end with 4.30 pig installed with welded spider gears. I...

    Looks great! I raced a 68 Road Runner throughout the '70's in the Spokane, Washington area. I missed it so bad that I just bought a '70 Road Runner project car that I am working on daily. I am restoring it and plan to do a pro mod with it ready for racing. It was partially restored but I...

    Octane rating when mixing Regular gas (93octane) with Racing fuel (110) octane.

    When I was racing my 383 4-speed '68 Road Runner in the '70's at the drag strip, I experimented with 140 octane avgas that I bought at the local airport as my roomate at the time had an A & P license and worked in one of the hangers. My 383 had second hand stock heads and I ported and polished...

    Is this a Dodge or Plymouth upper door "pad" metal?

    I think it is a Plymouth as they are steel and the dodge are covered in vinyl. They are different sizes. I just got a Plymouth one for a Road Runner and I had a heck of a time finding it.

    Estimated 1/4 mile - 71 Roadrunner 340 4 speed

    It will depend on how hot your cam is. If you have a really hot cam like I did, every time it lopes it shakes the car. I switched to a chain for a torque strap with just a bit of slack in it added to the rubber mounts. That way you have rubber cushioned mounts until you really get on it when...

    Estimated 1/4 mile - 71 Roadrunner 340 4 speed

    Just an idea. You could put in a torque strap that is just barely loose. That way the rubber won't stretch enough to break. If you put in solid mounts and drive it on the street it will rattle your teeth

    Estimated 1/4 mile - 71 Roadrunner 340 4 speed

    I raced in the 70's and my best 1/4 mile time was 10.44 with 160 mph. I am unsure about the mph but I always had a high mph. That was with a '68 Road Runner with a 383 bored .60 over, reworked ported and polished heads, milled to far with 13 to 1 compression, tarantula manifold, Holley...

    That is why we moved to Texas but we are going to have 19 degree weather Tuesday. It is only for a week so I guess that is fine. Then it's back to the 60's.
