Yes, the same thing would happen with the 383/335 and that is the reason for a 330 h.p. (lower reving cam) in an A/C Bee or RR. In fact, the 383/335 is actually a higher reving engine stock than the 440.

Guys, I'm really not trying to be a jerk about this. But what changed in 1970 when you could get a 335- horse four speed A/C car? Was the compressor redesigned for 1970? If it was redesigned to handle the 383HP engine, why couldn't the same concept be adapted to the 440?




Doug,
Per the 1970 Dodge Data Book it was NOT available with a 4 speed.
