i am, however, intrigued by the fact that a GTX never had a 383...the 383 came in a road runner, wasnt it the same car basically? both B bodies?

Yeah, they are. I could've sworn that it had a 383 as an option one year or several years. And every site I look at supports my belief that there was a 383, 318, 426 and a 440 available for the GTX from 1966-1971 or thereabouts.
The 440 Super Commando was the stadard though.
But who am I? I haven't owne d3 of them.

Sorry if you took it the wrong way, Squ33...... didn't mean to come across with an attitude, or to make it seem like I had one. The GTX's have always been a particular favorite of mine, so I all I wanted to do was set the record straight. Basically, the 383 was the standard engine in the Superbee, and the Plymouth counterpart, the Roadrunner. Chrysler basically did it to give them an 'econo' musclecar priced below the higher line GTX and Coronet R/T. The Coronet R/T, like the GTX, was either a 440 or 426 from '67-'69. In '70, you could get a 440 six barrel as an additional drivetrain option. The Coronet R/T ceased to exist after 1970, though. The Superbee, and the Road Runner, in '68 & '69, were either 383's as standard equipment, or Hemi as an option. In mid '69 was when they brought out the 'M' code 440 six barrel cars with the lift off fiberglass hoods; those were the only '69's that you could get that engine in. In '70 and '71, the 440 six barrel became an available option in everything you could get a big-block in.
That's your musclecar trivia lesson for today. Once again, I apologize to both of you if I came across with an attitude..... was not my intention at all!

BTW, the ragtop is only a 440 Magnum. And after sharing your timeslip info with me, I'd have to concede before we even hit the strip. Both my cars are bone stock..... and Hemi or not, a Charger isn't gonna turn mid 12's in stock trim!
Best keep the second weekend of July open on your calendar, though. You need to get to Carlisle this year, given how close you are.

Its ok. I didn't go into specifics so it was kind of my fault. I was just listing engine sizes that it came with at any given time. I didn't feel like typing out each one in great detail. So, in a way it was my fault for being kind of vague.

Do you have a trailer? They do have drags there on Friday night- it's only an eighth mile strip, though. You should come just for the fun factor! We probably have room available, so keep it in mind!
