I’m seeking some opinions on what y’all think a 1971 Roadrunner with these options would run in a quarter mile:
440 six pack
Bored 30 over
10.5 to 1 compression
Aluminum H Beam Rods
Forged Crank
Forged Pistons
Stock 906 heads with 3 angle valve job
Comp Cams Extreme Energy XE262H
Stock Holley Carbs with larger jets
Factory Electronic Ignition
Stock Manifolds
2.5” exhaust with Flowmaster 40 Series
TCI Streetfighter 727 with 2400 stall converter
8 3/4 with 4.10 rear gears
275/65/15 BF Goodrich Radial T/A’s on the back with Rallye Wheels
Car has power steering and power brakes and a Sanden A/C compressor. Car also has stock airgrabber hood with K&N air filter. Thanks ahead of time for your answers!
Why would a mild engine like that have aluminum rods??
A car like that with a typical driver will probably run 14's at the track. I see cars like that all the time at Mopar shows run 14's or 15's. Once in awhile you'll see a car that the owner is willing to beat on harder and they'll run 12's or 13's.
When I was in high school my best friend had a '70 RoadRunner with a 440+6. It was a four speed, Dana 60 car with air grabber. I don't know how fast it was in the quarter mile but we had a lot of fun ripping around town in that. It sounded killer and it pulled hard and it got a lot of attention.
