Mopar Engines ~ "Combinations That Should Have Been Made Available"

Roy,

In October 1967, 'Proto-Type'

Sox & Martin prepared a 'new' 1968 Road Runner to run in Super Stock.

It had a Fiberglass-Nose {Fenders and Hood}, and the car was lightened from #3560 lbs. to #3410 lbs.

* 426 Hemi
* 12.5-1 Compression Pistons
* In-Line Intake 'Dual-Carb'
* Twin Carter #3705 AFB's {750 CFM}
* Camshaft = .590" Lift / 318* Duration
* Prestolite Ignition

In late-1967, it was classed in NHRA 'SS/B'.

But for 1968, it was to be classed in SS/C or SS/CA in the NHRA

It ran 10.70's at the 1968 AHRA Winternationals at Lions Drag Strip {Long Beach, California}
classed in S/S Eliminator.

It was supposed to be a Plymouth offered Super Stock Package, with only 110 to be produced
{'55' 4-Speeds and '55' Automatics}.

But Plymouth 'pulled the plug' on the 1968 Road Runner 'Super Stock Package', and went with the
Race Hemi Barracuda's and Dart's.
