2015年10月22日 · From the '68 to '70 model years, the base Road Runner engine was the 383 4-barrel. Options included the 440 Wedge and the 426 Hemi. If you see or read about a '70 RR with a 340, it's an after-market conversion.

2016年12月23日 · When introduced for '68, the Road Runner came standard with a 4-speed, but the 3-speed manual was standard starting in '69, which lowered the cost of the car new (the base price rose for '70). I bought a '70 Road Runner with a 3-speed manual pretty cheap in the mid-'70s, but by then, it was a troublesome rust bucket, and I didn't keep it very long.

2024年11月18日 · It was an all-Mopar final in Stock Eliminator where John McLaughlin drove his B/S '70 Road Runner powered by a 440" motor (and a stick shift no less) to the win over Michael Wann's 340" powered '69 D/SA 'Cuda after Wann broke out by running below his dial-in.

2023年12月31日 · We were on a 3-week trip from NY through Chicago to SD (stayed in the Blackhills near Mt Rushmore for 3-4 days) to CO before following I-70 back home. It had the 360 and was the first year of the emission controls - that engine had a maze of hoses all over it.

Even land-yacht enthusiasts were happy in '70: The six-barrel monster wedge could be had in a C-body, the Sport Fury GT.

2020年12月25日 · Ram used a 6 speed in the Viper trucks and a manual behind the hemi in some 2500's and 3500's I think. So if you were putting a hemi in the Road Runner, I'd think you'd want a beefier transmission. Knowing Chrysler, or any other manufacturer, doubt if they put a heavy duty manual behind the V6.

2017年9月19日 · John L. Smith, usually known as Jack Smith — or as the “Father of the Road Runner ,” passed away on Friday at the age of 94, according to his wife, Laverne.

I don't know if this adds weight for the heavier engines.
