What was their reasoning for such? I plan on building my 73 challenger to those exact specs. 440, 4 speed, and a/c. Why wouldn't they do it?
Sounds like the ultimate ride to me.




As I understand, and it wasn't just Chrysler, A/C compressors and axle ratios over about 3.23 were verboten. It had more to do with RPM's than anything else I know of. I would guess the new compressors can take more RPM's than the old ones? Build what you like!

As for C bodies from '67 to '68, they had Dana 53's with 4 speeds, I'm not familiar with the axle ratios available for them.
