Road Runner Nest

I have a possiblity of buying a very low mileage orignal 74 Roadrunner. I am going to look at it Monday. Thats the good part and it is a survivor the bad is it is a 318. Okay what my question is did all 74 RR's have rear sway bars? Did the sway bar go under the rear axle like the General Motors Cars or did it go above the rear axle? I had a 72 RR a few years ago with a 440/GTX pkg and I can't remember if it had one or not. Thanks.

don't have info on the sway bar, but the car sounds cool anyway.....i almost wish my car had the original 318 in it just so i could build that sumbitch up like no other...ultimate sleeper

Hey whats wrong with the 318?hmm...

BTW. The car does have a sway bar so that answers my question. I don't have anything bad to say about the 318 just not real fast stock. But have a Mopar performance catalog out looking at what I can do to help it along. Thanks for the feedback.

That's a good point. I am forgetting my high school days. But didn't the dual exhaust on the 318 in the Roadrunner make it faster? Hah.

Maybe I should put a new plug and play 5.7 crate Hemi. Wow what a nice car that would be.
