74RR Engine and Transmission Options

[RR Fan Dan]

In the sales brochure I have it says the Road Runner option comes standard with a 318 and 3 speed manual transmission. There are options in the brochure to get a 400 or 440. The footnote on the 440 says you can't get a manual 4 speed. Does anyone know if you could still get the manual 3 speed in a 440? Also there is no footnote on the 400 option regarding transmission, so could you get the 400 with a manual 4 speed. Just curious. Also why if you could still get a 440 in 1974 why did they drop the GTX badging? I'm guessing because you couldn't get it in a 4 speed manual.

440 four speed was not available after 1972
440 three speed was never available.
The 74 RR still received the GTX badge when equipped with the 440
400 four speed was available.

The data books posted on Hamtramck Historical is very helpful in this situation.

I thought they discontinued the GTX in 74. My sales brochure has no mention of GTX
