    Here is a road test from one of my old car magazines. A 1969 Plymouth Road Runner with 440-6 Bbl. From Drag Racing magazine, June, 1969.

    Nice article!  Thanks for posting it!  :thumbsup:

    I think this is the only 440 B-body I'll ever own...  :walkaway:  ...in 1/24 scale...

    They are fun to read. I'll post another in a day or so. I think I'll pick a magazine which tests both a '69 440 'Cuda and a 440-6 Pack Super Bee. The Super Bee ran the 1/4 mile in the 13.40 range.
