Do you own a Roadrunner?

[shadango]

I know this is a long shot but here goes anyways...

I bought a 72 Barracuda back in March of 2009 from a guy named Frank in Harper's Ferry West Virginia....

The 318 engine that is in it came from a guy named Jim who knew Frank and was swapping out the 318 in his 71 9I think) Roadrunner for a big block. Jim was not the one who modified the motor, the previous owner was...according to Frank, the car came from Tennessee.

I desperately want to touch base with the previous owner(s) of this engine to find out what is in it....I think it is cam'd and want to find out for sure before I go any further in diagnosing some issues I am having....

So, if your name is Jim and you live in West Virginia, know a Frank in Harper's Ferry and recently swapped a big block into your car, I need to speak with you!

Or if you sold a 71 RR with a 318 in it to a guy named Jim in harpers Ferry a couple years ago, I want to speak with you.

Like I said, I know its a long shot, but thought I would try. :yes:

Thanks folks!

71 Road Runners did not come with 318.
In 71 RR came with 340 small block
383, 440, 426.

No 318 RR, Satellite only.
Of course any motor could have been swapped before into the RR in question.

U might also post this ? on www.RoadRunnerNest.com
a site for 71-74 Plymouth B bodies.

Gotcha! And thanks. Well, that is what I was told...it was probably a transplant to begin with......

The engine size should be stamped on the front of the block just below the front of the driver's side cylinder head. If you have a 340, you are a lot better off than having a 318!

No, its definately a 318......

I am sure that it was a transplant into the RR at one point....or maybe it was a RR clone made from a Satellite....

What's the VIN? "RM" it's a runner, "RH" it's a Satellite

 

[shadango]
