Here is my 71 runner, owned since 1986 it has been gone thru front to back. I didn't have much choice after rolling it in 87- I hate when that happens!!! The engine is a 68' 383, with ARP main studs, rod bolts, Hemi spec'd oiling system,and stock heads,( ported and polished) being fed thru a Holley 750 and M1 dual plane intake. The magnum manifolds exit the fumes thru a 2.5" dual exhaust and Dynomax Turbos.

The twist is sentback thru the McLeod Twindisk clutch to the Keisler TKO 500 5 speed od. After choosing the gear via the pistolgrip,roadchicken's 1971 Plymouth Roadrunner, the 3.23 suregrip transfers power out to the 15X8 Magnum 500 rims, shod with 255/60/15's on all four corners.

Bringing this to a halt are the stock front and SSBC rear disks being activated by a modifed vette master. Much needed as the 6500 rpm redline allows for some exciting speeds- can't wait to see what it does with the 5 speed now installed. Those 265/45/17's are next on the hitlist.

The suspension has been upgraded with Poly bushings, 1 inch Tbars, HD rear springs, Hellwing bars front and rear, and KYB's at the corners for control. The factory police package would be jealous.
I'll post more picks when I get them. Especially the ones of the rollover after math. You won't belive it's the same car.

And the aftermath of a night with uncle Jack Daniels. Stupid STUPID STUPID. You can see clearly the car had 1.5 inch axial twist to the passenger side- not to mention the slight bent roof. All I got was goose egg from unlatching the seat belt. Thank goodness it wasn't a little car.

Great work in bringing it back to life! If you havent visited my page lately, I have posted a couple of original 1971 Chrysler - Plymouth sales brochures. Check out what your car looked like in the original sales brochure, and some of the styles and options that were available in 1971. Its kinda cool! Thanks and 5*s.
