1968 '340' Barracuda vs 1968 '383' Road Runner
NHRA Stock is far from stock and is a very poor comparing point. I owned a 68 383 Road Runner with a 67 383 2 bbl motor with a four barrel intake and hipo manifolds installed. It ran 13.77 at 101 best on drag radials. I also bought a low mileage 1969 Road Runner with a numbers matching 383 auto 3.91 gear that ran 13.81 at 103 best on 195/70 white walls. Both cars were driven by me and totally stock at Bakersfield Raceway. So, the point is that there is the Road Runners benchmark where is the 340 cars benchmark. I would love for someone to loan me a Bcuda 340 for me to try. :glasses7:
Seriously though, has anyone else ran their 340 cuda in stock trim? That would be a fun day at the track trying to find out who was king of the hill.
