68 Plymouth RoadRunner 383 / Beep Beep

[@MrCountrycuz]

Much respect to the Master Richard.

[@daltonmcillwain8600]

Richard it’s good to see you got another channel going. Really enjoy the videos and learning from them. Happy belated birthday!

[@gregscott9170]

Happy Birthday Richard!!! That’s a 1968 Road Runner.

[@mayhemsmaster5050]

Oh how I love to see an unmolested nor "modified" vintage classic vehicle! There hace been times that I truly wondered how many of these absolutely gorgeous vehicles, 100% bone stock as if it came straight off the assembly line, like my baby. And to still be owned and driven by the same person who purchased it, is a wonderful story indeed. I too would love to see the actual cleaning process as well as rebuild of this transmission. Happy belated birthday Mr. Richard, I pray your day was surrounded by family and loved ones. Much love n prayers from my family to yours... along with some ear scratches and belly rubs to the lovely Miss Annie.🙏💜

[@robertwest3093]

Classic cars have so much more character than anything you buy today. You don’t see many 50+ year old cars with the original owner. This owner was one of the few who could see that muscle cars would come back big time in the future and he held onto it and kept it pristine.

[@UQRXD]

I found this to be the easiest transmission to rebuild. Also they really hold up. I had one with the 440 engine and the second gear band wore out to metal till it was cutting the cluth drum. But man when that second gear came it the tires would cherp.

[@lawrencehalpin6611]

Thank you. God bless

Happy birthday Richard! Love the transmission video. I'm a retired transmission builder and love to see the old ones.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY RICHARD

[@prevost8686]

My high school best friend had a 383 Road Runner with a 4-speed. In my young life back then it was the fastest car that I personally had ever ridden in. This was back in the mid-80s and we thought that we had the world by the tail.

[@Bill_CBR]

I hope you'll either post a build video of this one, or at least post some pictures of the finished product before it goes back into the car. Really nice and educational video Richard, thanks for posting.

[@340duster8]

I have my dad's 1971 340 Duster that he special ordered new. It been garaged it's whole life. May not win anything but I can say it is 100% original.

[@paullenzen2562]

That index mark you were looking for on the converter was on the external balanced engine.

[@skipper9400]

it's a '68 Road runner ....the tell is the side Clearance lights .... the only year they were round in Road runners was '68...the 69's and 70 were rectangular......nice video folks ... thanks for sharing it with us.......... :) ......Onward.......

Yep.. Sweet! That is JJ1 Ember Gold 68 RR coupe. Which I have a 68 RR 383 4spd coupe black interior and body in JJ1 Ember Gold. Bought it three years ago and live in Spicewood, Texas for 24 years.

[@SandraOrminski]

rich thats a 1968 not a 70. i see a torker single plane intake on that 383. hope the cam was changed and gear changed to match the rpm range. the early torker single plane intakes had narrow runners.that torker likes to run at 2500-6000. the good old iron dual plane is good for basically idle to 4500 rpm. ill bet the kickdown is a little off and uphill. awesome ride. ive got a 1969 dodge coronet 440. it had a original 318 but took it out and just happen to install a 440 from a 1969 chrysler 300. all rebuilt iron intake,906 iron heads stock cam edelbrock avs 2,650 cfm, and stock convertor transgo shift kit 3.23 gears and it goes like hell when you put it to the floor. about 300hp. i am a mopar nut. 727,904 and those wacky 518s, 46re etc. love them mods you do to these transmissions. and as we know diesels love to destroy torqflites. always awesome content form you. i dont see guys like you taking the units apart and explaining to us all. but knowledge is power!

[@Garth2011]

Meep Meep....those 383 4V we no slouch. Crazy colors, green interior and gold. No A/C, No power brakes. Pure power to the wheels. Not sure how it works if that torque converter is replaced, won't that change the "internal balance"? Richard is the man to build your transmission the correct way.

[@mikepickett3277]

Happy birthday Richard. Hope you’ve had a good time. Beautiful car for its age. Surprised that new valve didn’t fit. Perhaps you could tell us what the reason was? Great cinematography Teresa! Keep up the sterling work.

[@richardteresacricheducatio3542]

We did not know Sonnax makes two valves. We ordered the wrong valve different part number. We have the new valve coming that will go right in.

[@roadcuda6964]

As always Richard another interesting disassembly. Especially for a mopar guy with two 727 powered cars. To make it even better is to see a reassembly video. Overall it would be nice to more of re assemblies.

[@richknudsen5781]

Hey old man, another notch in the old calender I see. And workin on a Mopar no less. Even mopar guys need help once in awhile it seems. Best wishes for many more days ahead. You too Theresa.

[@meh-canics9628]

My 904 is slipping in 3rd, so I'm upgrading to a 727 and "rebuilding" it myself! Educational videos are very handy!

[@jwise7114]

Should stick with the 904.

That is a 1968 because that was my first car I owned in1974! I paid 800.00 for mine! 383 4speed with the bench seat! I wish I still owned it! Mine was maroon with a white hood!

That's a 68 roadrunner, at one point it looks like it's been painted. The roadrunner decal is in the wrong place.

Were they one of the first to have aluminum planetaries? Also, is the gray flakes on the filter from those aluminum planetaries?

[@petenice2956]

Richard, just a question. Why not clean the outside of the unit before breakn it down?

[@craigpennington1251]

1968 Road Runners are cool except for an automatic transmission.

[@itsjustnotlikethat]

Hi by chance are you doing customers 2005 ram 1500 2x2?

[@dustins91s10]

Just curious if you’re still building transmissions for the public? If so how do I find information about where you’re located or a phone number to contact you about a build?

[@regsmith7604]

That’s not a ‘70. It’s a ‘68.
