Another 73 road runner here

[manic_mopar]

Hey all. Thought I'd say hi and introduce myself. I have a 73 road runner i have had since i was 16 (got it back in 2001 or so) and my dad and I have been messing with it ever since. I moved to texas and after many long years, I'll finally have it in my garage.

I am hoping to learn a lot on here as i dive back into this car and start upgrading, replacing, and repairing everything i can on it. Ill definitely be needing some good sites to get parts for this car. It is such a difficult car to get parts for! Thanks for looking!

More pics and specs please.

I'm very happy to see all the new 73/74 members lately.

Seems like the ratio lately has been 4 to 1 73/74 versus everything else.

Thanks yall. Im in houston, the car is currently in miami, fl. Im flying down at the end of the month and my dad and I are trailering it out here.

It's a 440 rebuilt and stroked to a 493, quickfuel tech carb with mechanical pump, tti headers to some thrush glasspacks. Has the a833 4spd to a 3.55 rear. I would love to get an overdrive on it some day.

When i get home from work ill get some more pictures of it up.

Nice. Welcome. Post more pictures. Spent 14 months in Houston (Bellaire, just outside the beltway) and can't remember a single street smooth enough to drive on. Or not under water with frequency. Be careful out there.

Sounds awesome! The car probably does too with glass packs on a stroker!!

 

[manic_mopar]

Yeah i have been in houston since 2010. I had the neon srt4 when i got here and these roads nearly beat it to death. Ill definitely be selective on what roads i take her on. Ill post some up tonight!

Yes the glasspacks sound mighty on that motor. Haha
