Default Re: 1968 Plymouth Road Runner

Felix,

I think the 1968 '383 Road Runner' would have fared much better if Mopar would have offered
the 383 4-Barrel in 'three' different Horsepower Ratings.

The 'standard' 383 4-Barrel............................................ ..............290 Horsepower

{ For the Belvedere, Satellite and Sport Satellite }

* 1968 NHRA Class = H/S
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The 'Road Runner 383'.............................................. ....................310 Horsepower

* 440 Camshaft and Valve Springs
* 440 Exhaust Manifolds
* Oil Pan Windage Tray

* 1968 NHRA Class = G/S
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Road Runner 383 'PSO' {Package Stock Option}.............340 Horsepower

* .484 lift / 284* Duration "Hydraulic Camshaft"
* Special Lifters (.0005 Under-sized}
* Adjustable Rocker-Arm Assembly
* Aluminum Dual-Plane High Riser Intake
* Holley 780 CFM Carburetor
* Dual-Point Distributor
* 11.0 - 1 TRW Forged Pistons
* Chrome-Faced Top Oil-Ring
* 26" Heavy-Duty Radiator
* 18" 7-Blade Fan
* Viscous Fan-Drive
