The Road Runner with the Dana Rear and 4.10 Gears, without a doubt
could 'Hook Up' much better than the 'light behind' Cuda.
Note; The Road Runner 440 'Six-Barrel' came through with the 727-B Torque-Flite
Automatic {#2801544}, which was a 426 Hemi 'Beefed-Up Automatic' with 'special
internal components' - and also the 11" 426 Hemi 'Torque Converter' which was rated
at a 2400 to 2600 RPM Stall-Rate.
Note; The 440 'Cuda was equipped with a still sturdy 727-B Heavy-Duty Torque-Flite
Automatic {#2801541} from the 440 Super Commando, but the 10.75" Torque Converter
had a 2000 RPM Stall-Rate.
