Heck no. Got to rebuild the 489. Though some one built clutch pack to fit into my open diff. carrier. Called all over so think will just have to sit down and go through the 489. Thanks for asking.

I bought the Dana 60 on Ebay for $1,650.00 plus freight, total $2,000.00. It is 48" axle to axle so I am a bit concerned about fit.. I put in AMD 3 1/2" wider tubs and relocated my springs to be in line with frame instead of offset. Since the backing plates are too close to the frame, I have to go with rear disc brakes. Any ideas?

Any Pictures? Nothing wrong with disc brakes. I have a Dana that I was trying to sell but haven't so I'm going to put it in my road runner with discs as well but mine is factory width.

Hi there, you made a post on this site years ago about the measurements of the air grabber hole location. Do you happen to have those measurements still?

769 Roadrunner
I purchased this project car, as a rolling chassis about 3 years ago. It is a 69' roadrunner. the car came with the 440 block (removed) as well as the crank and pistons, carb, and fuel pump. All in Tupperware containers. As was the 727 torqeflite, driveshaft, grille, seats, carpet. Engine bored .30 over. Pictures to follow...

I bought a partially restored '70 Road Runner on Ebay last October and am working on it every single day. I am retired It is a 440 4-speed and was a 383 car as it has an 8 3/4 rear end. I bought the Dana 60 that was shortened to 48" also on Ebay and am moving the rear spring mounts in to the frame and am installing new wheel tubs now. I am getting ready to do some welding as soon as I master MIG welding.

Good luck on the build. If you have not used the Mig before then suggest you get some metal the same size as what you are welding. Drill 1/8-inch hole in one piece and practice welding. Post some pics.

I finally got the welding done and am refinishing the underside of the wheel tubs, covering up the welds. I have the top part of the new tubs (inside the trunk) pretty much done but I have to paint them satin black, which will be an adventure. I need to refine some bondo action with spot putty and then paint them. I am going through the whole car sanding off the rust and then painting it light grey on the bottom.

All my welding is done on wheel tubs and spring relocation so now I am getting ready to install the Dana 60 that is shortened to 48". Drum backing plates are close to the frame but my son tells me that disc brakes will help avoid conflict as they can be spaced out a bit.

I am sure interested in the driver's side chrome molding under the window panel. How far is the Dodge metal panel different than the Plymouth? How much do you want for both or just the chrome molding piece?

Thanks again

Do you have the visor mounting pieces? They are the outside ones with the three holes. I bought new visors but they do not have hardware. I bought the pearl Hemi Orange Road Runner on Ebay and it had no interior other than the dash so I had to buy new parts from Classic to replace it. Also, they did not use masking tape when they painted it. I sure do appreciate your help. i FOUND THEM-THANKS TO EVERYBODY

All I have is the metal interior piece. The visor piece’s can be from 68,69,70. Should be pretty easy to find.
You should join FBBO also and start a wanting to buy add. Lots of traffic over there.

Yes, I know the hood is not correct it is my Restro Mod. I have added my own touches to the car over the past 30 years. But time to get it running full time again.

Hey Jason, welcome to the roadrunner forum! We have some similar roots, I have a 1969 RR, roots in Manitoba and I spent time in Michigan as my older brother lived in Gaylord. I was lucky I found mine in great shape!
PS My brother had a 68 and it was the same colour as yours…Welcome to the group…lots of good info on here!
Take care,
Lawrence

Thanks. I grew up in Manitoba. My family is still there, but I’ve moved all over for school and work. My Runner has been stored for several years, so I am working out some issues getting her back into fighting form. Starting out by replacing the starter and other basics like filters. Looking forward to learning more from the people on the forum.

Hello, I have a 1978, 360 block in my 1974 Roadrunner. I am needing to know if I can put serpentine pulley assembly on this block? I think the water pump is the correct orientation output to the left.

Hi! I am new to the group. I have a 73 400 automatic Roadrunner with air and electric windows, It starts and runs great but when I shut it off, I can't get it started and there is no spark at the coil. It has to sit till it cools off and then it starts. I replaced the coil, the alternator, the plugs and wires and the ballast resister. Where do I go from here?
