BB440 '68 Coronet R/T

Collection of clips with Mike's 440 Coronet. It's got aluminum heads & intake, Quickfuel carb, a big solid flat tappet cam, & a good stall to go with it. For a giant car it sure rides out.

Nothing sounds like a mopar ...the sexiest growl ever heard

[@tfs94gt]

Absolutely gorgeous car. I like the Steel wheels better than the modern ones personally. Awesome car.

[@reyman4406pack]

That is one bad muther buddy! Love it!!! I'm just starting to restore my 70 coronet 500. Videos like this give hope! lol

[@Forker45]

reyman4406pack yeah man it was a super cool car.

[@shanghai6117]

Wow, a muscle car with wheels from the same era, you actually rarely see that.

[@Forker45]

藤原とうふ店 yeah it looked so good w black steelies over the 17" aluminum wheels.

[@ravenshield7823]

Nice fucking car man, love the style, love the wheels, looks great!

[@m.pietro9087]

Thank you. Congratulations, you have such a nice car. I have a 1973 Chrysler Imperial with a recently rebuilt engine, 9.8 CR, but a street hydraulic cam. I am planning to have a 3.73 final ratio as well. The car is heavier, but I think it will work.

[@kyledevelbiss1053]

Beautiful car and a great sound!!

[@Forker45]

I agree on both!

[@Forker45]

He had some sort of 1-3/4" long tubes with a universal X-pipe from Summit and Flowmaster Super 44s. As I explained to parananna, 362 hp at tires is approx 450hp at the crankshaft assuming a 20% drivetrain loss for an automatic. It could be closer to 25% (~480bhp) since it had a high stall converter. In my opinion, 1hp per cubic inch is nothing to sneeze at, especially considering it was all solid flat tappet and factory rockers and no fine tuning done on the carb. Thanks for the comments!

[@thunderheads4103]

Black rims and reclines with BFF Drags looks much better than the Chip Foose rims

[@Forker45]

Tröped Översläg I agree, they were perfect for the car.

[@DobermansRock]

Damn I miss my 68 Coronet.

[@PacificDark]

It's like beautiful music. Too bad MoPars are so ridiculously expensive. Would love to have one 1 Pontiac, 1 Oldsmobile, 1 MoPar, 1 Buick all between 1967-72. I would be a happy happy man.

[@55555711]

nice

[@Forker45]

@Edie Calzolari The car made 362 at the wheels through an auto with an aggressive converter. The stock rating was measured on an engine dyno, not a chassis dyno so no drivetrain losses in that figure. This car was just a hair slower than my car from a dig and even from a roll. It was quick for a giant boat. It's somewhere in South Africa now.

[@rcknrolfender79]

What exhaust is he running? I have a 68 R/T 440 4 speed coronet. I really like the sound of this one. And as Parananna said why is it only 362 hp with all the mods? Stock it should be putting out 375 maybe not at the wheels but surely after putting some aluminum heads on it, it should be well over the 400 hp mark...

[@jvskyrud]

very sick car..what kinda of lift and duration is that cam?? ITS MOPAR OR NO CAR!!!

[@m.pietro9087]

Nice car. You just didn't mention if you just dyno the engine or if you tune it. The numbers are respectable, but a wide band tuning may worth a couple of horses. The car seems to move. What is the final ratio?

[@Forker45]

The car had a wideband on it for the dyno. You can see it clipped in the drivers side tail pipe. My buddy who owned the car was only wanting to make sure it had a safe A/F and get some numbers. He was happy with it and you can see it moves great for a big car. I think it had 3.73 or something close, whatever the Mopar ratio is.

[@onedge70moparsuperbee23]

👍😎

[@Moparmaga-1]

Did you have the 440 source heads on that motor ?

[@Forker45]

Korie Creson This was my buddy’s car and yes it had 440 source stealth heads on it.

[@Forker45]

Korie Creson Yeah sorry man I couldn’t tell you the difference. I know it ran great for a giant car with everything right out of the box.

[@Moparmaga-1]

Forker45 yeah the video sure shows that, thanks man

[@stripervince1]

beautiful. those dynos scare me. don't know if it's a great idea to red line a screamin engine in neutral ...

[@Forker45]

I'm not sure you're familiar with a chassis dyno, but It's not in neutral. I think all his pulls were 2nd gear.

[@Moparmaga-1]

stripervince1 why ?? There's no resistance then

[@edcalzolari]

why with all the mods you have, it develop only 362 hp???? stock it should has 375 or i'm wrong...

[@leniceredmon1112]

ED Calzolari Hey ED You right it’s was 440/375 V8

[@jradish]

do u know how whp works idiot

[@jeffreybrianring6392]

@@leniceredmon1112 375 hp is at the crankshaft, 362 is at the rear wheels, so giving 20 percent loss from drivetrain, it's around 475 at the crankshaft.

[@hotwheel6663]

Mopar!

[@christinemiller1872]

drive it like you stole it

[@Relayer6a]

Dude drives with 2 feet. LOL

[@black_ctat8229]
