The car has the 440-4 TNT motor, not the usual Commando motor. The window sticker reflects this option. The sticker also list the "extra heavy duty handling package". The car was manufactured 10-70. Is it possible there was a shortage of Commando motors and the used a Chrysler unit instead? Has anyone ever heard of this? It is a U code car. I will attempt to add a pic of the window sticker. Thanks. 6747904-71gtx.jpg (91 downloads)

Although I do seem to remember a super Comando. Now I want to learn more. I have mechanical Aptitude. I can screw up anything.

Canada	Lets be clear here; Commando, TNT, Magnum, etc. are marketing names.....the motor is a U code 440 hp and is designated/identified by the E86 code which is a 440-4bbl HP motor whether you are speaking Plymouth, Dodge or Chryslerese.....it's interesting that it's called a TNT on the window sticker but it's the same motor Dave 1970 Super Bee 440 Six Pack 1974 'Cuda 2008 Ram 3500 Diesel 2006 Ram 3500 Diesel 2004.5 Ram 2500 Diesel 2003 Ram 3500 Diesel 2006 Durango Limited [url] http://1970superbee.piczo.com [/url]

I believe the TNT label was typical on window stickers for 440 4bbl cars. Every original 71 GTX window sticker I've looked at was labeled the same. Is this car at Southern Motors? addict:to devote or surrender (oneself) to something habitually or obsessively ....hmmmm
