1969 Plymouth Roadrunner 383 VS 440 Acceleration & Sound
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 7 сен 2024
- same car one year later with a 440 engine. both times accelerated from a standing start without high revs .
Exhaust with Glasspacks : • Flowmaster vs Glasspac...
I could listen to that 383 car idling for the rest of my life
383 does sound better.
Dad had a '71 Super Bee 383 (12-1 compression, 3/4 solid cam, headers) that sounded like heaven.
@@mikesteelheart Yah. I like the sound of moderately modded MOPAR and Ford more than the rest. The new cars are obviously faster but they really don't sound that good to me. None of them. BTW right now I have 3 bikes. The one I like the most overall? A '79 DT250 smoker, followed by the Triumph Triple then the classic Duc 1000.
@@KingCast65 It's because everything now is ultra refined with OHC's, VVT, and strict emissions. That's why a new Vette sounds so tame just idling. IMO nothing sounds better than an old OHV big block V8.
@@mikesteelheart yeah thats true, but the refinements typically make modern engines way more durable, reliable, user friendly, and smoother than ever
The 6 seconds engine swap alone is cinematic gold. Quality content
Lies again? Apex Predator Pig Rat
Doing an engine swap to make a video .. now that's commitment.
A 1 minute 3 second video that doesn’t cover the swap at that!
I was honestly expecting 2 different cars, I was pleasantly surprised
I've seen enough roadkill to know that swap takes like 2 hours at most.
Ehh . . . yeah well , these days they're more focused on the fact that video's make money ! 😏
Your exactly right just to hear the difference between slow and slower bends the mind the length a human will waste time.
I was a factory driver, driving cars off the finish line for Dodge. It was in Fall 1971. I drove almost all the Chargers that were built there. They had a 340 or a 440. The 340 with 3-duces was a quick little Charger. The 440 with a 4-barrel was something else, better top end..... loved that job.
All those old cars are slow and heavy as hell!!!
@@tommyh5 Why are you salty huh? No point in shitting on others peoples love. Just makes you pathetic.
@@tommyh5 You're missing the point. Back in the 70s they were fast as hell.
@@oldschooldude8370 well yea. I know that, i love old school muscle too! But new camrys can out run these cars in QM
Thats so freaking cool..
Both are absolutely beautiful sounding engines, but I personally like the idle sound of the 383 just a little more
Its the cam
Indeed, even as it took off, just kind'a nicer.

Agreed
Wished I could afford any big block Plymouth, They built the best poor mans race car and put the baddest big blocks in them
Just keep looking there are always good deals for BB mopars
Idk man ford galaxies were cheap and had some of the baddest motors ford has ever made in them.
In 1985 I was after a bigblock 4 speed. A '69 Mopar was the most prevalent and affordable. Sweet factory hot rod camshaft too.
@@alanangel5158 not likely in a B - Body for cheap maybe a full sized Chrysler nothing wrong with that.
@@coreysharp9794 oh party foul. I liked 74 thru 76 Torino musta had 4 or 5 of em drove great! But the coolest idea there, is the factory magnum 500 wheels bolt right onto a roadrunner/gtx/charger!
383 is what I imagine to be the classic muscle car sound while the 440 sounds more like a performance model...I would go for the 383 just to listen to that burble all day long.
My first car at 16 in 1973 was a "68" Roadrunner. 383-auto. Had a blast in it. 2nd car was a "69" Mustang Fastback. 3rd car was a "69" Roadrunner 440-auto. in 1979. Had so much fun in the "69" burning rubber and hauling guitars, amps, and drums around from jam to jam. We live in the country and could hot rod and play music as loud as we wanted. Mopars, Marshall amps, Les Paul guitars. What a Trio
Trade those Marshalls for Peaveys and you've got quite the all-American good time.
If a guy could only go back into time. Back in 1970 I had bought a slightly used 1970 sublime green Super bee with a 383. It was manual no power steering or brakes and when I bought it it had 1,700 original miles on it. When I say it was like brand new I'm not kidding. But that little 383 was so fast! The paint was perfect on it and man I wish I had it today. They just don't make them like they used too. I know it wasn't the fastest car out there but I was a 3rd yr h.s. student that was pretty darned proud of my car. Thank you Dad. You were the best.
I personally absolutely love that 440 idle. Sounds modest and calm, but unleashes sheer badassery come the time it is used.
440 all day and night....
Had a '69 w/383 in 72 while in the Army bought after Nam. Miss those free wheeling days when we drove the bejesus out of them!
Me too. Especially in So. Cal., and hot rods in great condition were like $1,800.
@@hessdefense RoadRunner horns went BEE-BEEEP just like the Saturday morning cartoon.
Like that Vietnam movie where dude says "we're gonna drive it 'till the wheels fall off. "
Thank you very much for serving our country, sir.
Back when people actually were allowed to have fun...
I had a '69 383, same colors as this one, in early '80's. Had buckets and console and hood induction. Previous owner was using it for a winter beater, and the rear fenders were rusted out. Had it fixed and re-painted. Still have a pic somewhere with my 2 year old daughter sitting on the hood.
I liked the 383, sounded good all the way 'til it was out of sight
Same
The 383 is a great motor more free reving like a small block with big block power and torque the best of both worlds, my dad has a 71 roadrunner with a 383 and a torqueflite, great car
I prefer the 440, it sounds more clunky, but much more menacing. The 383 sounds very nice, but also very smooth.
I’d say the 383 is for traditional smoothed out hot rods with nice candy paint, and the 440 is for that “born to be wild” mad max style hot rod. Get me?
It’s a symphony......love it, you can keep the coal powered electric mobiles.
100%, soulless electrip crap
@@thomasbummer4361 Fully agree. V8 is a symphony and V6 still can have a soul... Vacuum cleaner sound? None.
Biggest lie going is that electric cars are zero emissions. Sure, the car itself is but the coal burning electric plant that charges it is NOT.
@@scottsmith1386 Coal does not pollute much really (Co2 is NOT pollution - look it up), but using electric energy is not that clean either. Just think of all the nasty stuff that a batteries is built of :)
Plants need co2...
Both are great - but i love the sound of the 383 at higher rotational speed

I had a 69 roadrunner 383 and a 68 GTX 440 when I was younger. Best cars I've ever owned. Wish I still had them. Very fast cars. Fastest in town. Use to race about every weekend on back roads. The good old days.
@@dukeford8893 drummmms
Your lucky you don't have them now because you'd be getting toasted by 4 door Hyundai for breakfast !
@@laruga9120 true story. We thought we had the fastest shit ever. Half the stuff on the road today will keep up or beat a 383 Road Runner.
The weak spot on these cars in the day was the tires. They couldn't come close to getting that HP & torque to hook up. You either took off slow & built up, or, you smoked the tires for 3 blocks. Put today's tires on them & you have a different animal. And, no. No Hyundai would be toasting a properly tuned 383, or, 440...
Yeah but you know what, who the heck would want a Hyundai over a roadrunner @Kstxrd
Road Runner power! What a sweetsounding engine!
Love the B body Mopars!
Really like the idle on that 383 it kinda is a dream car
Beautiful, I wish more people did car vids like this short and sweet.
That was awesome, the sound of the 440 was heavenly
That 440 sounds great!🔥
I still think that, overall, the 383 was the best engine Mopar put out at the time. Not the fastest of course, but damn fast and completely reliable.
Overall i would say the 225 slant 6 was the best overall engine chrysler ever made.
best meaning what? the most reliable engine chrysler ever made is the 318. for me, reliability is best.
@@stevespencer6064 I would disagree on the Slant. It's very very reliable but that's about it. Getting any performance out of it is like pulling teeth. Plus with the non-crossflow heads and crazy long stroke, it's a bit inelegant. A 318 or 383 are also super reliable, but do also have excellent performance potential. The 383 especially is really made the way everything should be.
@@JETZcorp Loved my 1970 2 barrel 318 with the Torqueflite in my Australian Chyrsler VIP. Had a lot of fun with that car!
@@stevespencer6064 318 is just as tough, no tougher, and has actual ability to make decent power
I remember 1969 riding in a 57 Chevy Nomad on the Jersey Turnpike we thought we were going fast but we were passed by Belvedere 383
Belvedere, the four door Road Runner
@@faschwank they msde them in 2dr, 4dr and convertible
@@faschwank My dad registered and insured his 70 RR 440+6 4 speed as a Belvedere to save on insurance. Fastest taxi cab around, lol. It was not a cab but that's what they were using for cabs at the time.
I remember going down the local straight stretch in a 440 six pack Super Bee doing about 110 mph, and a little bright yellow lotus passed us like we were sitting still. I will never forget just how fast that lotus was going on duggies stretch in little eldersville pa
John Crankshaft No vert’s with a Belvedere emblem. Just 2 door with the bolt in post and 4 door sedan. But yeah... the 2 doors were all the same, Belvedere, Satellite, Sport Satellite, road runner, and GTX.
In 1972, I had a 68 Roadrunner with a stock 383 and I swapped it for a built 440 ..30 over. The 440 was a beast and I couldn't afford the food and shoes for it. It's hard not to keep your heavy right foot off it. The best part of the Roadrunner was the horn.
My first car was a '68 Roadrunner, 383 hypo. Bought in July '70 right after I graduated H.S, and sold it to a co-worker in Sept'71 when I was drafted. I LOVED that car. Wish I STILL had it...
your discharge papers should have given your old ride back
Very subjective when it’s a sound comparison. Cam, muffler, header, head/compression etc variances make a big difference on both engines. Having owned both beginning in 1980, I can say both are awesome engines. The 440 just has the extra torque and often a slightly deeper rumble but at a fuel price. I have 3 440’s in my garage for a reason and the fuel cost is just so worth it.
The 383 in the video was over-cammed for the rear end gears. The milder cammed 440 was just right for those gears, I'm guessing they were around 3.23 to 1.
This is the kind of comments we need. Bless up! And godspeed.
Me myself I'm 2-stroke dirtbike/enduro rider.
Some car to get by the rainier days/loads of stuff and winter, I prefer MB w124, if I were any of you I'd get w124 E500 V8 or the Porsche/MB w124. They're starting to go for ridiculous prices+, and very tunable, more than most of us have head to drive on normals roads :)
Slant six Challenger, followed by a 73 Challenger 340 T/A, 1970 Cuda 383 4 speed, and then a 71 Runner 4 speed pistol grip Plum Crazy with white interior. Owned the Runner since 1986. Never had a 440 so my car life sucks? Right?
@@matthewdufur5489 who are you even speaking to? Your comment makes no sense in relation to the other comments here.
@@matthewdufur5489 i get exactly what you're saying, n naa man, you're not boring, I'd say you've had a fun driving life with those cars.. N hey, it's never too late to get a big block..
My first car was a 69 plymouth roadrunner with a 440. Awesome car and quick too. I bought it when I turned 18 and put all the bolt on i could on it. It was fast enough to surprise my mechanic. Chirp tires going into third gear with a packed car on the freeway..
Anyone notice the 383 didn't even spin its wheels. I had a 69 383 RR like this but in green. It would burn rubber all through first gear stock.
Not off the line but sounded like the tyres breaking traction all the way down the road.
Years ago before kids, I put a 2bbl 383 in a Dart and with an LSD equipped 3.23s it would burnout in 1st no probs. Next I put a Thermoquad on the OEM 4bbl smog iron intake and in auto it would spin all through 1st, shift into 2nd still spinning, then stop spinning in 2nd and kickback down to 1st lol. It was hilarious.
I then put a well worked over 440 into it and didn't like it much because it was a bit too brutal for 3.23s (I didn't want 3.9s because I like long trips) and put the 383 back in and put a single plane M1 on it, took the camshaft from the 440, the heavily modded 915 heads from the 440 and a used a recurved late electronic dizzy. It was a great fun car. I ended up converting the rear drums to discs and put new torsion bars in it and front and rear sway bars. There was not one day I didn't turn that thing 6700rpm and you could really throw it around. It handled quite well for what it was. Miss it.
If your spinnin, you ain’t winnin
Driver mod needed for sure!
Exactly.
I appreciate that this man did an entire engine swap right there on the street just to show us the different sounds
Incredible power delivery from both engines.
Quick effortless acceleration, engines remain calm all throughout. 😍👍
Whew! Memories.... I had a co-worker in the late 70's that had a Super Bee with a 383....A neighbor that had a hemi cuda with the 4sp...The early 70's was a fun time to be a young teen with fast ass cars and motorcycles and lots and lots of lonely country roads...😉
Always been a GM Big Block fan, but those MOPAR Big Blocks have such a unique sound!
Awesome factory cams in the mopars
@@rogerf7229 And the heads flowed a ton of air as well.
All the banter between the gm guys, the Mopar guys, and the Ford guys!
I'm a Mopar guy but the" big three" all had some great muscle cars!
Had a 71 fury gran coupe with the 440. Had that cool designed vinyl top, hidden headlights, all that stuff, That car was an absolute blast to drive.
Exactly what I needed to see I'm rebuilding a 383 and gonna start on a 440 I recently have acquired
440 all the way
What body are they going to have? I'd love to see them when they are done. I would still love to have my Super bee again.
Ok
Going in a 70 e body challenger, it's an a66 performance package car with a 727 auto 3.91 rear and HD suspension
My first car was a 14 year old Cuda with a 440, that was 40 years ago and I miss that torque monster......
69 Super Bee 383 4 speed and a 69 Coronet 440 ,I feel the same way ⚡I wish I had a time machine 🍀get R done😎✌️
When I was 8 years old (1975), my brother had a 1968 Plymouth roadrunner with a 383 & I can remember him scaring the shit of me many, many times in that car.
And to an 8 year old, that horn was the coolest.
50 years old and stock taking off easy, then restarted hard saying 440, a stone stock 383 will kill tires and ran 14s and 15s
Its not the same engine if that's what you are trying to say. You can hear the deeper sound at idle in the second clip which is a by product of more cubic inches. So I would say it was a 440. Yeah of course it will kill the tires, he didn't floor it, it was an acceleration run not a burnout contest.
-Wheel spin look's cool but far less traction. The 383 with no wheel spin and all that raw power would have won the race if they were drag racing.
@@auggie803 Yes you are correct, however a stock 383 on street tires would blister them if running near right
They are both the same car smh. Nobody noticed the steel wheels with chrome lug nuts? Dead giveaway. It's a 69 1/2 Roadrunner, A12 option (440 6 pack). They even covered the tag in the second one so you wouldn't see the same tag number. Some ppl are so gullible.
Hell yes , we had a 66 newport that was a boat n it would shift outta second at 90 lol! 383 would rip shit
both engines and car work in a great manner - well done
My good buddy's next door neighbor had a 383 Road Runner, not even a magnum and it was faster than my pal's 383 Magnum SuperBee. It pulled even with 440's as well, we thought at the time it was a rare engine that musta been near perfect right outa the factory.
Interesting, as I didn't have many keep up with my 1969 Super Bee (in '71), including a 1970 Chevelle LS6 454, 450 HP.
I had a 1967 Dodge Coronet with a 383 in 1979-80 up at Lake Tahoe, CA. It has a posi rear end, and I put studded truck tires on it in the winter. The road up to our cabin was pretty steep and during snowstorms, while waiting on the county/city plows, we had to make a running start to make it up to the top. Not as many poeple had 4X4s back then, so lots of folks would get stuck trying to get up the hill to get home after work. One night coming home I came to the bottom of the hill, and there was a little Subaru 4X4 making attempts to get up it. I think it was a 1972 or 73 (when they were much smaller). I stopped and watched him/her make three attempts. I then flashed my lights, revved my 383 and blasted up to the top first try. Dodge 383, cabin on the hill at Tahoe, ski pass, life was . . . you know the rest!
Love that sound. When I was a kid my father had a '68 Dodge Coronet with the 440/4brl, manual 4-speed. Totally white with a black bullet-shaped thing on the engine hood. Loved that car. It sounded like a roar when he jumped off the line in that thing.
Those were the days my friend,
I thought they would never end....
Thank the good Lord we progressed or we would be hearing slow motion chirps through out Friday and Saturday nights relentlessly trying hard become relevant.
I love these cars. My dad had 68 gtx with the 440. I think it was a super commando but not sure. Wish we still had that car..
I know the video is about the car sound but I congratulate you on the beautiful shot, that endless road perspective bordered by tall trees leaves me dreaming of going away...
I even grew to love the old Mopar starter sound. Wish I still had my old 1970 Charger - lots of great memories 🙂
I had a 70' RR with a 383 Mopar and Air Grabber. That thing would spin the tires all the way through 1st and halfway through 2nd. But like someone else said here, "if you're spinnin', you ain't winnin'". I wish I never got rid of that car...
let drop the classic mopar guy line ''my uncle had a stock 340 that would run high 11 stock, the hp was underated'' lol
He didn't even press the pedal in the 383 & let it shift at 3500 rpm....
I was thinking it didn't sound like it was over 4000 before it shifted (like it almost wasn't on the floor).
Maybe the reason for the swap?
I had a 67 chrysler 300 that would light the tires no problem. 440, naturally.
The 6 seconds engine swap alone is cinematic gold
Buddy in high school had a roadrunner with a 440 and a six pack. Car could flat out fly. My Z-28 and his roadrunner were really close top end but id always get him in the 1/4 mile. Miss you Brian, RIP
Those cars in high school!?!? When you were tiny little kids??? Boy you've lived in a rich man's bubble. Open your eyes and see the world outside your pampered lives.

@@jamesfishlipsie yes indeed! Greetings my fellow muscle car enthusiast!✌🤠
The 383 magnum in my 70 Challenger RT was pretty close to the 440 shown here --- but of course it should have been since it used 440 magnum heads, cam etc. ..and would easily chirp the tires through the shifts
Holy cow ! Full chirps? Oh my God, Chirps!
Man I love that thing, thanks made my morning.
I used to have a 440 in my motorhome, closest I got to owning muscle. I certainly miss the sound.
I had a 69 Road Runner with a 383 but with a 4 speed, 3/4 race cam, headers and Mallery ignition. Turned out a little over 400HP. I could lite up my 12 inch tires for 300 feet with out trying. I did have traction bars and weight in the trunk. It was a solid 10 second car.
I bought my 69 Road Runner as a rolling chassis from a drag racer. The car came with nothing but a fresh 727 TF and the Dana 60. Spent almost every dime I made for a year and a half building a 440 I found in a junkyard and gave it pretty much the same treatment. That car ate everything it ever came up against for lunch with the exception of a 70 GTX with a Hemi.
@@stevegyles3190 The old street muscle cars where very fun. But it got 4mpg. :)

Hmmm, back in the day when I had my stock '69 L78 SS Chevelle, Turbo-Hydramatic, posi trac, I had no problem eating RR's, Goats, Mustangs and 'Vettes in the 1/4 mile. Also had a 1963 Ford, red, Galaxie 500 2 door hardtop, 406 tri-power, 4 speed which I thought was fast for a heavy tank, but when I got that Chevelle I realized then what fast really was like.

That’s just awesome watching them take off and disappear out of sight and you can still hear those big V8’s screaming!
To be honest back in the day when I owned my 69 RR 383, 4 spd I don't remember ever getting beat by a 440! To be honest the combo I was worried about was the little 340 A body'! To be honest I always thought the 383 was a better street motor than the 440 and in fact it was actually a large cubic inch small block with the stroke it had.
I had a 1970 Duster 340 Plum Crazy purple that would have smoked that RR for sure.
How about an A body with a 440😁?

@@craigewen2878 them 68 and 69 340 a bodys were STOUT. Them two years are the cars that made the 340 legendary. 70 and up were kinda hit n miss but 68/69 a bodys were all a bunch of freaks.
I like 383. It's a better stoplight street motor. 0-80mph they're hard to beat. 80-130 is where a 440 shines. Even a lame cast crank smog 440 pulls like a freight train north of 100.

I purchased a used 1969 RoadRunner in April 1973. It was yellow with a black vinyl roof. No AC or power brakes or power steering. Very basic. It did have an AM radio. I paid $900 for the car, and it was certainly in mint condition until I became the owner. My RR had the Hurst 4 speed shifter. I loved it. My high school friend had the 440 in his RoadRunner. I don't think his car accelerated any faster than my car. We raced often at an old AFB that was closed in 1971. He did beat me on a few occasions. My first accident I goosed the throttle and went off the road and hit a small tree. Dented the steel bumper. I got a new bumper. Next wreck I hit the side of an old bridge and tore up the Quarter Panel. I got it fixed. It was too much power for a 17 year old kid. I sold it in 1979 soon after my wife became pregnant. Sure do miss that car. I got the exact money I paid for it when I sold it....$900. The talk of the town was the 426 Hemi Cuda. Back in the 1970's the Hemi engine cars got all the respect. Over 40 years have passed and I came to realize the Hemi engine cars were not really all that special. Hemi internal combustion engines were around long before the 1960's. Hemispherical heads were used in airplanes back in the 1940's. But the Hemi engines were neat for sure.
Nice B Body car. I'm starting to like the '68-'70 non Charger cars even more though the Charger is still my dream car.
My first car was a 1970 charger. Boy, I wish I still had it.
I had more than a couple Mopars including a 68 Plymouth GTX and a 69 Roadrunner. While I never raced either at the dragstrip and both were bone stock they both felt about the same off the line. However at that 1-2 upshift my 68 definitely felt faster than the Roadrunner. I don't know if that was based on the torque of the 440 took over or what but it was noticeable. We're talking seat of the pants here so who knows.
My 69 dart gts with a 340 would burn both of those big blocks. It would lay rubber all the way through first and second and bark 3rd.
Exactly Burt my Dad bought brand new a 69 dart gts 340 auto and it was kicking ass often on anything pretty much out there at the time .
While you are burning tires, my 327 would be waiting for you at the end of the track
Your comment proves you had a traction problem LMAO
Thats a sound made for driving in the late evening through a lonely desert road
I had a "67 383 Barracuda, bought new & had it for 17 yrs. I absolutely loved that car!
My 69 383 RR burned rubber for 15' with G60x14 tires on the rear. Sounds like this guy didnt stomp it like he did in the 440.
I love how the 383 sounded. Bit that 440 has so low end power.

Nice ride, Formula S. A friend put a 440 in 64 cuda it wasn't easy. He shoulda used formula S parts

First on Race Day fords win the Vw's. Watch out for the 351 Cleveland tho..
In 1979 I learned how to drive behind the wheel of a 1973 Mustang Mach 1 in a cemetery.
It was an automatic trans with the 351 quad carb in it. Those were some great times. 😎
The 383 takes me back to high school days. I had a 1964 Dodge Polara 500 with a 383. Dual exhaust with Cherry Bomb glass-packs (remember those?) I poured a quart of oil into each Cherry Bomb before installing them, so the fiberglass would burn out quickly and I would be left with two echo chambers. Glorious sound! Long live the 383!
This is exactly why I wish I was born back then.
I always loved the 340 buddy had one in a Dart with a blower scary fast.
Both are very beautiful but I'd prefer the 383 sound 8)
A guy COULD put the 383 cam in the 440. Makes sweet music 🎶 Ear candy.
They both sound wicked !
in 1970 I bought a 1969 Dodge Dart GTS with a 383, 4 bbl, Hurst 4 speed, and not much else. I was stationed at Ft. Sill, OK. I put headers on it, then got sent to Germany. Took it home for storage but my Dad sold it and I never got to see what it could do. I think they're pretty rare, too.
Motor Trends car of the year award back in 1969. The Plymouth Roadrunner. 👍👍 440- 6 pak with 4 speed and 3:91 gears was hard to beat on the street. Quite a contender.
I most definitely love the sound of that 383 all the way from idling to balls out I’m not a huge Chrysler fan but damn that was impressive and what were the results
I use to love giving 440 RR a hard time with my '65 Malibu SS with a 396. 4 speed and 4:88's.
Different take off for sure. Heard a chirp from the 383 going into 3rd I believe
Same here, I think the engine woke up at higher rpm maybe a bigger cam
The acceleration was way different.
Nothing beats the sound of old school muscle cars. I love the idling purr of the 383 but the 440 would be my choice.
Imagine what the hemi sounds like. Any big block Mopar sounds great. Nice share. Thank you from Ohio.
The 383 wasn't given enough rpm's off the line. Mine could easily burn out. However the nearly exhaust sound was right on.
no chance with the wide tires and without brakes. tried several times
Used to run mine at Englishtown Raceway in the 1/4 mile. Used 4 stock tires required for the E Stock class many years ago. My rear tires would break loose if I popped the clutch over 4K rpm's. I was faster in the quarter then my friend's 440 Charger. He weighed a lot more. If I tried to run with wider tires in the rear than the front I would not be allowed to run in that stock class.
Forgot to mention that I was running a 4:10 rear.
@@aaronchesler8565 this wasn't a 4000 rpm launch,this wasn't a stick.....it depends what converter,what gears etc,what rpm launch..
i can fry the tires in my 305 trans am all day with a stick and 3.27 gears. trust me,hooking is better than blowing the tires off
@@AlexAkx wtf....you had a problem then.
Loved the 383, had one in a Polaris, damn thing would roast the tires...
Polaris?
"Yooooouuuur daily dose of Internet"
I grew up in SE, Penna, less than a mile from a State Police barracks...
I can remember State Troopers at a Stop light more than once, next to our car. Their Cruisers were Plymouth Fury III's with 440 magnum motors...
At idle, at the stop light, our car's windows would rattle...Very impressive, especially for a pre-teen kid...😊
Best way to take out your anger. Just get in that car, press the gas pedal and that sound will relax you. Cars are like a therapy. Especially old and classic cars.
Cooles Auto !
Lots of good low-end torque from that 440! Torque, not HP, being the prime mover of mass.
Agreed. Other than low speed opporation. The 383 is just as capable and in certain circumstances might even pose an advantage overall.
Imagine this with a manual transmission. The auto kills the high rpm eargasm.
My 69 was light blue, white interior and white convertible top. Crooked shifter and beep beep horn. Bought it in HS for $400. Sold it a couple years later for $400. 383 was a fun ride.
I can't tell they're both awesome. Love the ol carbed 8s.
yeah but.... how did he change engines so fast like that??
All - nighter wrenching with a friend
Was thinking that myself buddy. God damned same set o wheels running the tarmac as a 383 an a 440..LOL
Only difference is rear tail pipes are missing on the 440. Wonder if that's causing the popin an a banging. Cos I can drop that n an have a whole different note of a T5R 5 banger an she still pulls to 150mph like a train..
Magic, or you know maybe editing. I think he said it was a year later if you read the description.
Sounded like it was shifting into the next gear a little early.
I drove my friends brand new '69 with a 383 automatic and I was surprised at what a slow pig it was..
They kinda are slow but they are tuff blocks and easy to make more horsepower
@@weylandlavasseur3818 They definitely aren't slow, there is just something wrong with this car like a bad tune, tight converter, tall gear or any combination of the three. My dads 4200 pound 66 Newport came with a 383 automatic and it will smoke em on natural WOT all the way through first without any help from the brakes. Heck the 360 van motor in my 68 Satellite is more powerful than the 383 or the 440 in this video.
The 383 came in several different states of tune. Some were 9.5 compression with a 2bbl carb. In a heavy car it's not going to be fast. The 68 383 Magnum 4 speed in a B body such as the Road Runner was not a slow pig.
The Road Runner was my favorite growing up. I miss those days.
My parents had a "69" Road Runner, vitamin c orange and a black vinyl top. 383, {loved the rumble}, cherry bombs, 4 in the floor and mom always said and a fifth under the seat. The 69 Road Runner is my dream muscle car.
440👍👍👍
