Melvyn’s ’68 Plymouth GTX

Melvyn’s 4 speed GTX came to us for a engine rebuild and engine bay tidy up.  The first set of photos show how the GTX arrived…

The 440 was built with INDY EZ heads, an 850 Holley, hydraulic cam, six pack rods, steel crank and SRP Pistons.  The engine produced 510hp with 530 ft-lbs torque.

The engine bay was painted, the fuel system was upgraded, a new clutch & exhaust were fitted along with a six pack scoop and the wiring was also sorted.

Scott’s ’69 Plymouth Road Runner

Part of the Billadeau Mopar collection, Scott’s 720hp Road Runner had a Billadeau built 540 MP Mega Block with Lunati crank, Ross pistons, Crower roller cam, Manley rods, Indy CNC 440-1 heads and Dominator carb.  As of April 2007 the car had run a best of 10.7@128mph.

Other work included bodywork, fitting the roll bar and wiring.

The Wedge motor was freshened up ready for the 2011 season with a new cam, rings, bearings and a bit of head and intake porting. It dyno’d at 781hp with 698ft-lbs of torque.

The car has since been returned to stock and found a new home.
