What would have to be done to a 69 Road Runner to run 200mph
in the quarter, and still be 100% streetable? Basically like Larry
Larson's Nova.

Other than the Dart that I am building now, my next ride will be a pump gas twin turbo Hemi, most likely in a new Challenger body. I will build along the lines of Larsens car, as that car is THE most impressive car on the planet, in my opinion. My goal is to go 6.99, around 200 mph, than put my 3 and 5 year old boys in it, and go for a cruise.
. man do i envy all you fellas with the big bucks but than again im only 23 and im sure most of you guys with the b1 and predator motors didnt have that type of setup at my age either.with the exception of a few lol.

It's going to take aproximatly 2000 in a chassis that will harness that much HP plus survive couple thousand miles of street driving. Chassis will have to be custom. As far as body anything that is aerodynamic, my choice would be a Daytona Charger. Package needs to weigh 3000 with driver ready to run. I personally don't know why you could not meet those perimeters with a Mopar.

if one were to block the grill (plexiglass behind it) and add a lower air dam (like those on a 69Z28 would that help with the air flow? Not saying it'd be as good as the nose cone and wing but it should help at those speeds. Or if one wanted to stay w/ a 69 Bee you could go this route...

You are right Mr. P but if you are going to make a serious effort in a classic Mopar why not start with something that has a track record of running around 200 mph. Might save some headaches in the long run.

I think the Daytona would be faster due to the aero and most definitely safer. Besides that the cool factor would be off the chart.

I don't know if a powerglide would hold up to the 2000 HP but with a 3.23 gear and a 32" tall tire you would be turning 2500 at 73.71 mph. The 3.23 gear will put the car through the lights at 6800+ rpm. That would be with no overdrive. Just some food for thought.
