Nice looking ride. I got in way behind on this one it took 40 minutes just to get here. I love the color combo excellent choice. Here was my last 70 B-body FK5. Congrats on the project you did a top notch job. :cheers:

Very nice RoadRunner.

That 512HP 440-six pack... is that stroked any bigger or thats the power u get from 440ci (which is a little over 100hp more than standard)?

   Here's the engine specs G-man.
  It's a 0.20 over 4.360 bore 440, 3.750 stroke, not stroked, steel crank, mech. solid camshaft(Lift) in. .495 exh. .518 (Duration) in. 301* exh. 305*, True roller timing set, Ross 10-1 pistons, 88cc heads, H beam rods, Int. balance. roller rockers, double molly rings, etc.

   The 440 was on the Dyno, 512 HP @ 5500 RPM W/ 489 lbs. of torque. Thats with a single-plane intake & a 850 cfm carb. So I'm thinking that the 6-pack with its 1350 cfm will make even more HP than it did with the 850 cfm carb on the Dyno.   

   I'm basically giving out this engine info because this '70 Roadrunner is an every nut & bolt rotisserie restored car, and it's the straightest rust free Roadrunner around. And of course it will be for sale someday.
   
     My resto partner & I are looking for the cars next owner. Who wants to buy the most rust free Roadrunner on the planet.

Thanks mate, It looks sweeeeeeeeeeet.

Was there any reason why you didnt go to the 512ci (which shuld make power lower in the rpm?)

  Well actually, we bought the 440 off ebay already assembled & dynoed. We had to drive 200 miles to get it all. Basically it was package deal w/ a drum to drum 8 3/4 w/355's and 2 '70 dart doors, etc.

  The fender tag is back on. It's kinda strange, it seems different from other tags that I've seen? The options are a basic 383 4-speed Roadrunner. :popcrn:

Are you talking about the font?  LA is the only plant that used both style fonts'.  I questioned mine in my LA built Chally and Barry plumbed me up.  :2thumbs:
