Good stuff, thanks for posting. As you know Dodge and Plymouth were two different animals. Just look at the fact that 440-4 71 Bee's were built yet no 440-4 Road Runners have been found. </div></div>

The reason why no 440 Super Commando Road Runners have been found is because they were not built per production records. The 440 Dodge thing was an anomaly, not some renegade Dodge product. It's an issue of marketing because the 440 Magnum Super Bee would have cut into the sales of the Charger R/T with the same engine, which was standard in that model.

There really isn't a circumstance where one engine was available on a Dodge but not a Plymouth. Sure, maybe the 'Cuda had a 340 but the Challenger R/T did not - the 340 was available on the base Challenger - but for the most part they offered the same things.
