Plymouth Road Runner Engines and Transmissions

A Plymouth Road Runner engine was a large gasoline V8 in a rear-drive powertrain. Selected Coupe Hardtop examples pair that mill with a manual transmission: the 6.3 MT for everyday muscle, plus the 7.0 MT and 7.2 MT when you wanted more shove from the same drivetrain idea.
