This 1969 Plymouth Road Runner was built by Johnny Burkhart in 2014. The car eventually crossed the Pacific and is for sale at Starwood Motors<\/a> in Dallas, Texas. <\/p>\n

\"1969<\/a><\/p>\n

In the engine bay is a supercharged 550 ci (9.0 L) HEMI V8 built by For Hemis Only <\/a>(FHO) in Canada. The motor features a World Products aluminum block with Ohio forged crankshaft, Oliver steel rods, and custom CP forged pistons (9.0:1 compression), Comp Cams custom solid roller camshaft, and Manton custom pushrods. FHO topped it with ported Stage 5 heads and Comp Cams double-valve springs, Ferrea titanium intake valves, Ferrea Inconel exhaust valves, Stage V 1.6:1 ratio roller rockers, and custom intake manifold. <\/p>\n

\"1969<\/a><\/p>\n

\"1969<\/a><\/p>\n

Boost is provided by a ProCharger F2 supercharger and cooled by a PWR custom intercooler. A Milodon fuel pump keeps the engine fed through custom rails and Bosch Indy Blue 160 lb injectors. Everything is controlled by a FAST XFI 2.0 ECU. The combo produces 1,300 hp on low boost and pump fuel. <\/p>\n

\"1969<\/a><\/p>\n

Behind the HEMI is a BTE Powerglide two-speed automatic transmission with a 2500 rpm stall converter and billet valve body. Power is sent through a 3.5-inch chromoly driveshaft to a Strange Dana 60 rear end with 40-spline axles. You can read more details about the powertrain in NZV8’s article<\/a>. <\/p>\n

\"1969<\/a><\/p>\n

Underneath Johnny installed chromoly connectors, custom bracing, and C-notched rear rails. Up front the car rides on a Magnum Force K-member with tubular control arms, quick-ratio steering rack, and Ridetech HQ-series air suspension. The back suspension uses a Magnum Force 4-link with Pro9 chromoly trailing arms.<\/p>\n

\"1969<\/a><\/p>\n

\"1969<\/a><\/p>\n

A set of Wilwood six-piston calipers with 14-inch drilled\/slotted rotors in front and four-piston calipers with 11-inch drilled\/slotted rotors in back help to offset the power. Covering those are Weld Racing 17×4-inch wheels and Billet Specialties 15×10-inch beadlock wheels.<\/p>\n

\"1969<\/a><\/p>\n

\"1969<\/a><\/p>\n

On the inside you find a factory bench seat and steering wheel. In front of that is Autometer Carbon gauges. A TCI shifter sits on a raised tunnel surrounded by a six-point roll cage. <\/p>\n
