318 EBody Question

[Dibbons]

I wonder if the four-speed was an available option with the 318?

Per MSN article found today:

"As standard, the 1973 Dodge Challenger 340 and the 318 both came with a 4-speed manual transmission. However, Dodge did offer the TorqueFlite three-speed automatic transmission on the car, ensuring a smoother drive, especially if you equipped it with the Rallye package."

Yes it was. My 2nd Mopar was a 70 red on red 318 4-speed Barracuda. Beat the snot out of that thing!

Exactly what it was built for.

I seriously doubt either the 318 or 340 CAME with a 4 speed. They were available, at extra cost. 3sp stick was standard.
