Car Forum / Ford / Ford Mustang / October 2005And only $5600 out the door....
In 1970. DODGE CHARGER DAYTONA SPECIFICATIONS TOP SPEED 200 mph (320 km/h) 0-60 mph (0-96 KM/H) 4.3 sec ENGINE TYPE V8 DISPLACEMENT 426 ci (6,997 cc) TRANSMISSION 4-speed manual MAXIMUM POWER 556 bhp (415 kW) @ 6.000 rpm MAXIMUM TORQUE 497 lb ft (674 Nm) @ 5,400 rpm WEIGHT 3,100 lb (1,409 kg) Yea Rich THAT's on topic..... : In 1970. : [quoted text clipped - 21 lines] : WEIGHT : 3,100 lb (1,409 kg) As was your response. That must be the full-fledge NASCAR version, because no stock Charger ever came close to any of those numbers -- except maybe the 4-spd manual part. HP more like 380 SAE net, torque about 425 lb-ft, 0-60 about 6.0, top speed 150 (a verrrry unpleasant 150), weight 3,900. 180 Out >That must be the full-fledge NASCAR version, because no stock Charger >ever came close to any of those numbers -- except maybe the 4-spd >manual part.

Cross-ram, 12.5:1 compression. Since the normal Hemi was way underrated at 425hp, it's reasonable to assume the race was producing near 600. Don't forget; The specially-prepped but dealer-avaiable Dart in 1960 could turn high 10s in the quarter with the race Hemi. Not many cars now under $300k that can do that. -Rich > >That must be the full-fledge NASCAR version, because no stock Charger > >ever came close to any of those numbers -- except maybe the 4-spd [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] > could turn high 10s in the quarter with the race Hemi. > Not many cars now under $300k that can do that. I've never heard of the "race hemi" option for a '69 Charger Daytona. Regarding the 426/425 hp "street hemi," according to something I posted to alt.hi-po-big-block-ford-mercury a few years back, that engine had about 411 flywheel horsepower. Here's my edited version of that post: "The Hemi had a 10.25:1 CR, 2.25/1/94 cross-flow heads, dual quads, famously low-restriction mufflers, and Mopar-style "factory header" exhaust manifolds. The solid lifter cam had 276 deg advertised duration, 60 deg overlap, and .467/.473 lift. This combination was advertised at 425 hp @ 5000, 490 ft-lbs 4000. (See http://www.users.qwest.net/~pbarring/specs.htm .) "A '69 Hemi RR weighs 3880 lbs. (See Motor Trend's '69 Car of the Year story, as quoted at http://www.hotrodder.com/nick/rrhistory.htm .) Back in the day, Car Life magazine got a 4.10:1 Super Track Pack Hemi RR to trap at 104. (See http://www.hotrodder.com/nick/rrhistory.htm .) Assuming a 17% drivetrain loss, a 3880 lb car requires 341 rwhp, 411 fwhp, to trap at 104 mph (using the formulas rwhp = weight * (mph / 234)^3 and fwhp = rwhp/.83)." 180 Out >> >That must be the full-fledge NASCAR version, because no stock Charger >> >ever came close to any of those numbers -- except maybe the 4-spd [quoted text clipped - 32 lines] > >180 Out Yes, that was the standard hemi engine, the "street hemi." In-line manifold, not cross ram, lower compression, some lesser quality internals. Sorry, make that 1968 Dart, not 1960. But the race hemi had been available (as far as I know) since 1964. -Rich >As was your response. I must be hung over or something, 'cause I really didn't understand your response. If the NG is about Mustangs, and Rich posts a description of a Dodge, then someone points out it has nothing to do with Mustangs... how is that OT?
