Paul, but they were available in a few '68 base Dodge models that snuck out of the factory...

Why would you do that much work and then put the "HEMI" emblem in the wrong place?

Moose,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Yes,,,,,,,,,,,,,I'm sure a few 'Factory-Back-Door-Sneaker-Outers' found their way to some 'special racers'.......

Maybe some 'police interceptors',,,,,,,,,,Belvedere and Coronets with a
440/375 HP 'Super Commando',,,,,,

Fleet Order Only cars,,,,,,,,,,

On the 426 HEMI, never saw a 1968 Belvedere or Satellite with the 'Street Hemi', I'm pretty sure that engine
was 'only' reserved for the Road Runner and/or GTX.

1968 Dodge Dart GTS

* 340/275 HP
* 383/300 HP

The NHRA re-rated the 340/275 HP to (315 Horsepower), putting the car in E/Stock for 1968 (10.00 to 10.49 Wt/Hp).

The 383/300 HP Dart GTS was classed in F/Stock for 1968. A restrictive exhaust system, was the reason for the lower 300 HP rating.

A 340/275 HP,,, w/Automatic Transmission and 3.55 Gears,,,,,,,,,,14.70 @ 96 MPH
A 383/300 HP,,,w/Automatic Transmission and 3.55 Gears,,,,,,,,,,,15.00 @ 94 MPH
