Thoughts on '70 Charger / SRT-8 conversion

[rrunner68]

Theres a guy on LXforums, I think he goes by Mopar5150. He put a 68 Charger body over a 05 or so SRT8 Magnum.

Saw it at Spring Fling last weekend. Pretty cool. Still under construction though.

I have a complete IRS from a 2007 nissan 350Z , works great, all aluminum , same bolt pattern a mopar , same width as mopar , strong, can handle 600hp

That's an interesting way to go about the IRS issue.

Is there a page somewhere with pics of it?

I will be building a 68 Charger with a 7.0 hemi
I got all my gear from http://www.bouchillonperformance.com/
They had great customer support and all the stuff i got was as promissed.
They know a lot about converting old mopars
The engine is build by Gary Stanton who knows his Mopar stuff..

Ive had a 6.1 hemi in my 72 cuda for 2 years, I still love it , there is NO !!!!!comparison from my built 360 that I took out, tons of power if you put the gas down or drives smooth an easy like a stock car , love It I have a complete IRS from a 2007 nissan 350Z , works great, all aluminum , same bolt pattern a mopar , same width as mopar , strong, can handle 600hp , did I mention NO comparison to an old style motor.

Hey Mark!!a few questions here..how did you get the shaker scoop to look factory?and do you have any pics of the car? thx

[markjanos]

the shaker hood scoop is conected to the hood from bottom. when you raise the hood the scoop comes up with hood.

did you order it from some place? or is it a steel hood with it mounted in it?I have seen the fiberglass hoods with it molded in it,but they aren't bolt on hoods just lift off..sorry for all the questions..but your the only person i have found with it like that..thx for any info..

Great swap, do it. I love my 6.4 in my 72 charger. We dynoed the car recently and had 424hp at the rear tires. To say that is a bit more than factory issue is an understatement to say the least. Plus there is the weight difference, etc. We modified the factory tank and it now has a pump in it, not a hard project at all.

I did one of the first of the new Hemi conversions back in 2005. Those engines have every bit the potential the LS engines have. Had a truck motor with a cam and headers in a 70 Cuda ragtop and ran 12.30's, and got 20MPG. I still miss that car. Ron
