Yip, I'll let you know.

One things for sure it's going to be waaaaaaay different, like a totally different Challenger! When I had the car before resto it was only running off 3 barrels and was very rich, heaps of air going in so every time I put the foot down (only a couple of occasions) as I wasn't use to the car it would just bog then slowly pick up, I do remember on the highway it would kick massive ****!! Just endless amount of grunt......
No lag, just pure MoPar Big Block!! Yehaaaaaaaw!! [8D]


Cheers 71,

Luckily enough my Roadrunner almost always ran really well, even for the few years I drove it daily with a rod knocking in the '73 400 BB that was in it.[:@][] Even then I could still floor it and it held together, it just took off like a bat out of hell. I have the engine, transmission and exhaust done, now it's time for me to do everything else.[&o]

 

Sounds like you've got your hands full mate, I love your car, that grill is awesome.

Keep me and us posted mate, and photos to, plenty of photos!!!


Cheers bud

 

Yeah, the '71's nose/grill is my favorite feature and looks the most like the Roadrunner name and is my favorite Roadrunner. My other fav's are the '68-'69 Charger, both of the Winged Warriors, '70 Challenger, '69 GTX, '70 Superbee and '71 Cuda. To have one of each would be bliss.

If and when I get anything done I'll post it here and beyond.

 

Yip love ALLLLLL those cars. My $$$ Garage would be:

1968 Dodge Charger R/T
1969-1/2 Superbee
1970 Dodge Challenger R/T
1971 'Cuda

Any money left would be a
1965 Coronet
1970-71 Roadrunner
1970 Charger


Be sure to post some photos mate.


Cheers bud

 

I will, guaranteed.
