Finally got the engine dynoed about a month ago. All went well, after break in the cam we made a few pulls.
351 hp @ 5500 and 393 lbft @ 3500.

Need to continue work with a yellow ragtop...

@6bblgt my 70 Challenger RT had an SPD of 11/04/69 and both build sheets are on the blue/white style of paper. That'd mean they were using it into November? Or are you speaking of only B and not J line production? Thoughts?

there were actual 1969 (E-SERIES) broadcast sheets used during the 1970 model year
- I'll ASSUME by mistake or error & the color highlight '70 version was created because of this error, it didn't show up until ~January ??

I just ran across this thread and know the previous owner and took a look at the car a few times when it was in town. Nice to see it is coming along nicely in the restoration.
