Hello a few months ago I purchased a 1969 Post Plymouth Roadrunner

I live in Northern California and use this car as a Weekend Warrior.

The car is a 440 stroked to 496 that puts out 720 hp at the fly
Compression is 13:1 so I run 105 ish Octane - I put 100 in and then add a bottle of Torco
727 transmission with a 4500 stall
Drum brakes all around
A12 Hood
Weld Wheels
Loud Exhaust
Dana 60 4:10

I wanted to upload a few pics but the maximum allowed size is a tiny 256 kb.

Welcome to the Bird's nest from the right coast in CT. Sounds like you have quite a ride there. Most camera programs have a way to reduce the size of your pictures, so you might want to check that out!

Found a program to downsize the photos!

Looking forward to learning more about the 1969 Roadrunner!

Welcome from New York
Looking good!
Casting numbers would be under the valve cover on a mopar head

Thanks guys!

I was hoping that I wouldn't have to take off a valve cover. Does anyone make a device that can see clearly through aluminum? LOL

Nice bird! I love the color and the exhaust placement . I used to live in Humboldt County, before finding a job in So. Cal.

Welcome, these guys are the most friendly I've found in a long while. I hope you stick around. It like being in a bar with friends. Don't mind the friendly banter or the change of topic sometimes, I think some of these guys are a little A.D.D. Lol

Thank you from N. California! There are two gas stations within 20 miles of my home that sell 100; one also sells 110!!

100 goes for $8.39/gallon at 76

100 & 110 go for $8.99 at CRT gas station. The 110 must be poured into a gas can not in the car. California has a bunch of weird anti-fun laws.

LOL. Thank you. BTW the car was purchased from a gentleman in S. Carolina. I flew there to make the purchase and then had it transported in a covered trailer.

I grew up in the Bay Area, East Bay, Walnut Creek, so just a little South of you. Sounds like a good group of guys here. Are Mopar owners considered to be Moparians? Like residents of Maine are known as Maniacs? LOL I plan on sticking around and doing as much learning as I can. Over time I'll probably ask a bunch of questions, but I'll try very hard to also answer questions to the best I can.

Be patient with me as this is the first Mopar I've ever owned

BTW Can you tell me about your RR? Your avatar looks awesome!

Basics are:
-440 stroked and bored. Unk. to what size.
-holly 850
-8 3/4 Rear unk. Gears
-Auto with reverse pattern. 4000 stall
-Unk. Make Headers stainless 3" exhaust.

You can see a small video if you look at my posting on here about the fotoslides app.
