68 Roadrunner question

[Racingduster]

Did they ever put a 440 in a 68 RR? I know they put a 383 and a Hemi in them. A friend is looking to buy a 68 RR that has a dana 60 in it but no motor.

may have come with a dana but not a 440 in 68

So if it was a Dana 60 4sp car, would it have come with a 383. or was that hemi only?

The only thing that matters is what it says in the documentation. Check the fender tag, vin and/or the build sheet.

This is a 40 year old car. What is in it now doesn't matter.

My 68 Formula S has a Dana 60…….. So it must be a Super Stock Hemi car…… Right?

No 440 was offered in 68, A 383 Road Runner in 68 only came with a 8 3/4... 4 speed or automatic. The Hemi had the Dana and 440 equiped 4spd cars.

I understand that….. But when dealing with a performance model you can only know by running the numbers.

See if your friend can get a partial vin or the fender tag info.

Maybe it's a GTX???

Thanks for all the help guys! :cheers:

The 440 was for the GTX only in 68, RR was 383 or Hemi and the Dana was for the Hemi and 440 with 4 speeds.

yep, seen 340 cars without torque boxes. There's all sorts of strange stuff chrysler did and just happened. Who knows, maybe his car was built on a Monday or maybe there wasn't enough 8 3/4s that day and a worker who wanted to just solve the problem just stuck one under it slapped in the driveshaft and said F it and went home.:toothy10: For some reason on my car, I yanked the gas tank and it had been dated 1976, whats up with that, I will never know

68 RR had 383 or Hemi, 383 should have the 8.75, Hemi the Dana, my 383 RR has the 4-speed with the HD hemi springs. That said i have heard reports that a few auto hemis very early ones may have slipped through with 8.75's, and maybe a 383 or two with 4 speeds had danas, Most important is the VIN and tag if its a J than its a hemi car, then you could see if there is a stamp in the axle tube showing the date of the dana. heres a pic of my 68RR 383, hurst equipped 4-speed, p/s, power disc brakes, factory tach, wide sill moldings, decor package, wood grain wheel,

Jeez, here we go. I agree the Dana's probably out of somthing else. Heres my 6BBL without Hemi suspension. uh oh
