Hood tachometer. 150 MPH speedometer. Superbirds had three engine options: the 426 Hemi V8 engine producing 425 bhp at 5000 rpm and 490 lb⋅ft at 4000 rpm, the 440 Super Commando Six Barrel with 3X2-barrel carburetors producing 390 hp, and the 375 hp 440 Super Commando with a single 4-barrel carburetor. 135 examples were armed with the 426 Hemi.
