Thank you 69Cuda340s for the complement. Appreciation from the Mopar faithful is take seriously in my book. I have always had a soft spot for 69 Barracudas. I missed out on a 69 Cuda Pack car a few years ago and have been kicking myself ever since.

Phoenix graphics supplied the great striping. It really set off the KB5 blue paint.

Thank you for the compliments. Restorations by Rob should get all the credit for how it came out. Of all my projects over the many years, this is the first one I took somewhere to get done start to finish. Rob is one that you can trust to do it right and on time. These 73 / 74 Road Runners are full of oddities that made it challenging, but teamwork got'er dun! It took a lot of help from the Mopar Family out there to find parts and make parts. It could not have been completed with their help.

Email me a reminder and I will try to remember to get some air cleaner photos this Christmas when I get to where the car is stored.




There's a '74 360 Duster in the classifieds that shows the air cleaner as well.

That car is amazing, It is also the only other 360 4 speed I have ever seen other than mine. Mopar Muscle article
Mine is originally JA5 silver with a black stripe but the previous owner did all the body and paint then lost interest. When I bought it all the pieces of the car were in boxes in the trunk. I too have the short snorkel air cleaner.

Nice to have a "Sister" car out there. We are few.
You too have a very nice ride! These Iso-K Frame cars do have nice highway manners. I had a JA5 74 RR before this one, but is was a 318 car that had been converted to a 440. I sold it to a Non-Mopar guy and he painted it white.

I wonder if the short snorkel one might be correct, at least for some cars. I have pictures of a restored '74 'Cuda 360 and it has the short snorkel air cleaner. As well as a Challenger.

Good question. I do not have that piece of air cleaner knowledge for sure. But now that the question is out there, What is correct????

Anybody out there in Mopardome have some input???

Should a 1974 Road Runner have a long or short snorkel air cleaner?

1974s only have oval air intakes on the snorkel. That much we know.

And they have the OSAC valve on them.

So having the long oval snorkel, flap in the floor, OSAC valve, and being orange, I would think that it would be correct for a '74 performance car. Just not a lot of survivors out there to go by.

Cool car man, and great job with the resto! Interesting that the sunroof I had a '74 Charger SE 440 auto sunroof car a few years ago, I sold it to free up some funds for other projects. The guy I sold it too still has it, I'll have to let him know about the caddy sunroofs.

That is a great looking Road Runner. I love that color combo and the white stripe just sets it all off.

Wow that is a great looking job.

The poor old 73/74 era was almost totally forgot about. Even most of the Mopar people looked disinterested with them. But they are the last gasp of an era gone by. I am happy to see more of them popping up in ads and for sale. They are not easy to do and not a lot of NOS or reproduction parts are out there. But through a friend of mine we convinced an aftermarket mfg to reproduce the rear bumper filler strip and side pieces for 73 /74s. Look for that to be available soon!

I'll be looking!

I don't have a close-up of it, but it's shot!

I've always liked the 73-74 Road Runners. I bought a new 75 Road Runner when I was 19 years old. I wish I could have afforded a new one just one year earlier.
