Interesting you should say that. I had a 74 Charger with a slant
6 and autotrans 20 some years ago. That thing could cruise all day at 75mph
effortlessly and still make upwards of 25mpg. Not a light car, but I was
amazed. And true, 1972 was when they plugged a Kirby into the power hole on American
cars and sucked all the power out. I had a 68 galxi w/a 302 rated at 210hp and
later had a 72 Turdrino w/ the same engine rated at 140...and it felt like
4cylinder power…truly gutless. It’s strange that a 440 would…oops,
an Imperial’s 440 would be rated at 140 also. It seems like the hp
in all the big cars w/huge engines dropped into the low 200s, but yeah, 140
does sound more like rear wheel horse. From: mrs954@xxxxxxx Dave 67 Haze (not missing any hp here) Green Sedan Covington, WA |
