Identical to my BB ‘68 Roadrunner. 4 speed street legal. Best time 10.99 @ 124 mph on 93 octane pump gas @ 3926# total weight

That said ... there is a different left side bracket for the earlier C body that was also used on 383 powered A bodies , it connects to the top front ear and wraps around the front of the block , not all blocks have the cast in nubs and not all nubs were machined for use. The 440 A bodies came with a modified version of the 383 mount. Last edited by JohnRR; 01/26/24 01:52 PM. running up my post count some more .
