Love to see the rides from my High School days coming back from the grave.... miss those old yards where they let you wander and they didn’t send em straight to the crusher. All gone here in New England pretty much . Never owned a B body but had Mach 1 , GTO, Chevelle , etc. Those were the days of Chargers, Challengers,‘Cuba’s in the hands of us 18 year olds . Glad someone still has the interest in keeping the less than perfect cars a going- none of the ones we drove back then looked like car show specimens of today . Little rust bondo and dents gave them character !
That is one of the sharpest looking engine bays I have ever seen. Let’s hope the owner makes the rest of the car look as good as that beautiful 340 you brought back to life. Outstanding work as usual. Well done indeed.
I just went back to Bellevue, WA. to get my Valiant ready for shipping. Your quick comment about the cooling/coolant temp made me chuckle. I pulled the 25" HD radiator, shroud, clutch fan out of a '73 Scamp (from AZ with a V8 & AC) years ago for $30 at a junkyard. Had the radiator boiled, tested & a small seam repair for another $70-$75. Well, put that in my Valiant to replace the small, LD V8 radiator set up (solid fan, no shroud). World's better- got a bunch of other small things done. It should be here in NC in the next couple of weeks
First of all, a belated very happy and blessed Veterans Day Brad! You must have the carb and timing dialed in the way that things snaps when you whack the throttle. Hopefully the owner can get the interior and paint in the near future. Like to see her back on the channel when she is all done. Thanks for sharing devil dog! Semper Fi!! Cheers from Motown.
Nothing like the "baby hemi!" That sure is a nice solid 'Runner, just a few spots to fix. Beautiful job on that heavily-cammed 340. I usually dribble some 2 cycle gas in the carb to start a dry engine.
What up BBBBBBBradddd????? That thing sounds like a BEAST :) Crisp throttle response too!!!!! 340 is bad azzzzz lil engine!!!! I saw lil 340 Cuda walk all over a 440 GTX....GTX was catchin him on the top end, but those 340's twist up real quick off the line :)
Just binged watched all 4 episodes! Keeps me motivated to finish my 71 383 4 speed roadrunner😎 You need to swap out side mirror on the door for the correct racing mirror LOL
Had the opportunity to save my literal dream car last year. Wanted a Cuda since I was a young kid (a buddy's uncle had a 340 4spd 72 that was red) and I went and got my own... 74 360/4spd, sat 22 years... made the deal 4th of July weekend 2020. She runs and I drive the shit out of it now. Wouldn't have it any other way
Hellyeah Brad! That 340 sounds great! So happy to see that ol girl going down the road. You gotta get a video of your buddy romping on her some, you know she wants to rip. Great job Bro, we’ll catch you on the next one. Let em rip not rot!!!
Love it! Wish I saw more folks building the 71-74 B-bodies! Personally, I always thought they had a tougher look and better stance than the 68-70. There's a bunch still out there! And tend to be a bit more affordable than the 68-70 B-bodies!! Keep settin' the trend my man!!👏💯👍
It does sound great. Imagine how it will sound with a new exhaust?! Thank you again for your service and saving another beast! I know I'll get crap for this... but bend the bill on your hats. I hate the straight bill look!
My first time commenting though I’ve been a subscriber for a long time now I first want to say thank you for your sacrifice and service to our country I know it might be a little late but happy belated Veterans Day and awesome awesome job on the Roadrunner your channel is one of the best on TH-cam you always put great content i promote your channel to others as much as I can I’m a Mopar die hard myself 👍🏻👍🏻
Hey Brad. Haven’t checked in for quite a while. Love your Roadrunner dude. Great to see her on the road! Sounds real good. Congrats buddy. I’ll be around more. Just RETIRED!! Big Al.
Cool video man. Congratulations on getting her back to life. Sounds good too. Dude, I love how you did the flash back clips in between the drive home footage. Very cool. Keep up the great work. I’m enjoying the channel.
No bro ! , Thank you for your service all the time you spent in the military I thank you brother. You guys have got to put some paint on that. And you're gone make a 57-year old man cry if I can't see some sassy. Hahaha God bless

not sure if you know Bouchillon performance makes a kit for when you connect a holley that uses the kick down cable that the newer ram 1500 trucks use and a bracket that holds the kick down and the throttle cable and a bracket for the throttle shaft nicest kit i have ever seen its a complete kit everything you need need to look them up. the beauty of the kit uses stock throttle cable and off the shelf ram 1500 kick down cable no cutting or mods bolts right up looks stock
My 74 Cuda 360 w\hot cam 4bl one of only 700 in Canada. Use to beat on mustang mach 1s and most others at the red light. Great until brother in law from Queens NY drove it. Who knew he never drove on gravel roads before. I roll later it was totaled. 😢
Hey Brad, watched your vid for the first time. What do think of the Brawler carb? I used them on a sb and a bb mopars with great success. Used Lokar too👍. My daughter has a 74’ Satellite (originally a 318) with a .030 over 400 w/ auto trans. I was wondering if your friend has ever considered a bb mopar? And, is he painting it the same color or considering another? Glad to hear you’re love’n the mopars bro…….from a fellow MOPAR gearhead, good luck!
Thanks brother appreciate the great comment I love brawler carburetor I’ve had probably about four of them now. As for the Road Runner I think my buddy is keeping it ratty for now. Not sure if he’s going to paint it anytime soon maybe down the road…
For now, I used the old cast intake. I have the aluminum one for it, but I wanted to get her running first….I also used a Mr. Gasket spacer that allowed me to bolt it up. I think this is what your referring too…

I can't tell you how excited I was to see this really enjoyed this build you have out done yourself it sounds amazing just brilliant Brad
Right on, thank you Damian
Nice to see real dedication and professionalism these days!!!
Still alive here Gt. Britain.
71 Roadrunner and Satellites are my favorite! I love that body style. Awesome job Brad!!!
I love a 71/72! I am actually looking for one myself to buy…
She lives and moves great drive through the hood, great music suite too. She's going to be missed. Thanks for sharing the journey.
That is one of the sharpest looking engine bays I have ever seen. Let’s hope the owner makes the rest of the car look as good as that beautiful 340 you brought back to life. Outstanding work as usual. Well done indeed.
Great Work Man! Happy Veterans Day! Thanks for Your Service....

Man I’m not so sure I could have had that much self control, I could tell you just wanted to unload on those rear tires. Excellent work man god bless
Agree, it was so hard! I’m going to wait until the next oil change then maybe I can really see how she gets down!
This will be a great car when it is completely finished. You did your part and it sounds awesome !!!
Appreciate ray!
I love that body style. One of my favorites.

not sure if you know Bouchillon performance makes a kit for when you connect a holley that uses the kick down cable that the newer ram 1500 trucks use and a bracket that holds the kick down and the throttle cable and a bracket for the throttle shaft nicest kit i have ever seen its a complete kit everything you need need to look them up. the beauty of the kit uses stock throttle cable and off the shelf ram 1500 kick down cable no cutting or mods bolts right up looks stock
Sounds good

IMO firewall has to match the body, so black paint is next. It will look great.
Pressure on the kickdown is important for those Mopar trans. Was ther eno linkage. I guess the bone yards don't have them any more.
Linkage was gone, other wise I would have put it back original.
Used to have a nice 71 sassygrass runner 383.
White top white interior.
I sold it for cheap!
Young and dumb...😭
Looks like you can get the split in some of that firewood now poor boy
Sometimes Copper Coat works instead of doubling up gaskets. I’ve had good luck with it.
Ooh man that is awesome Great job. Is that beast for sale
Yeeee Hawwww!!!!
car turned out great brad what cam is in the 340
It’s a Purple Shaft but can’t remember what we found out about duration and lift… I think I may have it written down some where….
Put a 72 rear bumper on that thing and itd be fkn mint
"Love all of them" But on race day ima racing a Mopar!
Hahahaha nice!
You need to put some paint on this old gal !
It’s going to my man, just having a little fun first, then my buddy Larry is going to have her done right, from what I’m hearing

Did you put a spread bore carb on a square bore manifold?
For now, I used the old cast intake. I have the aluminum one for it, but I wanted to get her running first….I also used a Mr. Gasket spacer that allowed me to bolt it up. I think this is what your referring too…
My favorite car of all time I had one but My brother toteld it before I was 16 😞😞😞😞😞😞😞😞😞😞🤬
Better than Richard Rawlings slicking his hair offering peanuts.
Hollar at me man if you decide to sell the 72 Pontiac GP .. Posted on this because you said ya don’t get back w/ a lot of comments on older posts ..
340 with holley 650?
Yes, works perfectly in my opinion
A simple rule is NEVER drive a car without a air breather.
Sure are a lot of Mopars in the south
I don't like the shifter
Do you sell any cars
Sell a few keep a few basically what ever I am jiving with ATT
May be looking for Mopar or Ford project as soon as weather gets better I live in maine so it gets pretty cold,
Im a pontiac fella but I like any domestic vehicle but ford...theyre just junk! Lol 👍👍🙏🙏
Chevie is the one that sucks you have that backwoods
