Sweet Cuda 440
Sweet Cuda 440 For 1970 and 1971, the Barracuda and Barracuda Gran Coupe had two 6-cylinder engines available — a new 198 cu in 3.2 L version of the slant-6, and the 225 as well as three different V8s: the 318ci, the 383ci with two-barrel carburetor and single exhaust, and the 383ci with four-barrel carburetor and dual exhaust 330 hp 246 kW SAE gross. The Cuda had the 383ci 335 hp 250 kW SAE gross same as Dodge's 383 Magnum as the standard engine. It also had the 440ci four-barrel Super Commando, the 440ci six-barrel Super Commando Six Pak, and the 426ci Hemi. The 440- and Hemi-equipped cars received upgraded suspension components and structural reinforcements to help transfer the power to the road.

69 Plymouth Road Runner
69 Plymouth Road Runner The standard engine was an exclusive Roadrunner 383 cu in 6.3 L. B-series V8 engine with a 4-barrel Carter Carburetor rated at 335 bhp 340 PS; 250 kW at 5200 rpm and 425 lb⋅ft 576 N⋅m at 3400 rpm of torque. Its extra 5 hp 4 kW rating was the result of using the radical cam from the 440 Super Commando and 25 raise in compression to 10.5:1 (vs. 10.25:1 with the 330 hp (246 kW) 383). When air conditioning was ordered, the cars received the 330 hp 246 kW version, as the radical cam specs of the 335 bhp 250 kW version did not create enough vacuum to accommodate air conditioning. A $714 option was the 426 cu in 7.0 L Hemi with 2X4 Carter AFB carburetors rated at 425 bhp 431 PS; 317 kW at 5000 rpm and 490 lb⋅ft 664 N⋅m at 4000 rpm of torque.
