I have 1969 Plymouth Road Runner project, 2 dr post, 383/727 column shift that needs full restoration. Non numbers matching. I've had this car for the last 7 years in my possession. What I was told about the motor is that it has a mild cam just over .400 inch lift and 282 duration, it is very streetable, stock compression was 10 to 1 making 330 horse power and 425 foot ponds of torque. This assembly is around 9.8 to 1, the heads have been worked, and the monstrous valves gulp in even more fuel and air. The 727 is firm with a 3000 stall converter to keep it from pushing at a red light. It is a balanced assembly. Now I cannot verify that, so take it for what it's worth. I did ensure the motor turned over by hand before I put it back in the car for transport purpose and I had stored it properly. The Radiator is leaking bad, I may decide to put another one in for testing purposes as I had bought new plugs and wires to get it started, but if I do get the motor running reserve will go up.
I had many new parts for it that I recently threw on the car for transport purposes, new hemi rear leaf springs (installed, Mancini extended spring eye and re-enforcement plate (installed), donor frame rail (installed), 2 piece trunk pan welded in but needs some massaging where it meets the back seat area, driver side trunk extension (installed), have passenger side extension as well, rear cross member (installed). full suspension rebuild kit (driver side fully on, needs torque on some components, but good enough to move vehicle), lower control arm bushings (installed), new fuel lines, new drum shoes (installed, springs, wheel cylinders (installed), new drums, drum rebuild kits, driver side full quarter skin in pic, new mopar shocks (installed). I believe rear gear ratio is 3.23. Rear end needs full rebuild. I have left the car on jack stands as I'm hoping to have a local buyer as I want the winning bidder to come and take a good look at what they are getting and to be happy with the car. The car has a Safe T Cap fix on the front driver side frame rail (all offending rust underneath was cut out and sealed), it's solid and stronger than stock see pic, and the last 12-18 inches of the rear driver side was cut and donor was welded in, (Needs filler metal, but plenty strong, has reinforcement on the outside as well as inside the frame rail.) I know I'm rambling here I'm sorry, but take a look at pics. I will post some more. Anybody who is local and interested please email, and I can make a time for you to come and see it. As mentioned I left it on jack stands as of now. I still need to find some roller tires to move it, as I have 2 only presently. The wheels and tires, will need to be replaced as they are both garbage, seats probably are only good for frames. Major issues in floor were patched in, but there are a few other issues, nothing major though, minor holes that could use some plugging, or if you want to do it right then new floor pans, but fine for a driver I think. Needs all wiring (This is a full restoration project) with some components completed. Floor pans are now black btw. I couldn't fit in the pics, but lower passenger side rear quarter needs work, outside wheel housings as well. It's fine for driving though. Really depends what type of resto you are looking for. It does have rust around lower corner of rear glass, and trunk lid probably should be replaced, as well as around lip of trunk some small holes, But everything is salvageable I think if you wanted to move forward with it the way it is.
If you are not local, please ensure you ask questions and I will do my best to answer.
