Same engine block, cylinder heads, intake and Carter AVS carburetor, but with a 'milder hydraulic camshaft' and 'standard pressure valve springs'. The Road Runner engine had the 440 'Super Commando' camshaft, valve springs and exhaust manifolds.
Also, the Sport Satellite was about 150+ lbs. heavier than the 'bare bones' Road Runner.
In 1968, the 383/335 HP 'Road Runner' was classed in E/Stock, and the 383/330 HP' Sport Satellite' was classed in F/Stock.

I have a muscle car, daily calender in my office. (doesn't everyone?)
Today's picture...68 Plymouth Hemi GTX convertible.
As a high school kid I worked in the body shop of a Chrysler/Plymouth/Dodge dealer after school and saturday.
When the owner was gone.... we all took a test drive or two in what was on the lot. Satellites, Charger SE's and Coronets were some fast cars with the right engines.
Then there was this one 4 speed Hemi Super Bee ... we could NEVER find the key to it.
Somehow I think the owner knew.
