8 Second Street Legal 1971 Plymouth Cuda Drag Racing

Purchased as a gutted out race car, Rick has transformed the 1971 Plymouth Cuda into 8-second street legal beast. Read the full story here: http://bit.ly/SwaggarCuda

We have featured several of the Hardee family Mopars, but this street legal 1971 Plymouth Cuda is definitely my personal favorite. Although, it wasn't exactly the car Rick was looking for, his wife Sharma talked him into buying it and there are no regrets.

Rick did a lot of changes to the 1971 Plymouth Cuda to make it street legal and threw a 9 to 1 compression World Block 440 engine in it. A 4.5 stroke with a 4.5 bore punched it out to 572 and the motor makes 900 horsepower running on pump gas.

While the 1971 Plymouth Cuda runs 8-second 1/4 mile with the current set up and the engine has more potential, Rick already brought home a new powerplant for the street legal Mopar. He will be aiming for 7's in 2021 and we wish him all the best.
