Hi! This is my first post on this forum
I am from Norway and I bought this -68 charger from the US (ebay) spring 2019.
I used the whole summer to get the body straight and painted it, I drove arround summer 2020 with the stock 440 (rebuild with EFI by me) But now I have problems with the engine (crack in valve seat probably) and broken start motor ("impossible" to change with headers)
And I want to use this winter to upgrade the car with Dodge 6.2 hellcat engine and A8 tranny. And in that context I need some advice and help for the build. I will update this thread as the build goes on.
The car on ebay march 2019. 25000$
Picture of picking up the car in Norway May 2019. It was original Red paint and Red interior. 318 original engine but this was swapped with a 440.
I used the whole summer 2020 and got it painted, also with new rims (Ridler)
quite happy with the look but I want 12" rear and 10" front
Here is the enginebay. I installed fuel injection winter 2020 (megasquirt 2) and bigger alu radiator. The engine bay will also be painted this winter.
Questions:
I want to use hellcat engine with the ZF8HP90 transmission.
anyone here done this swap?
The transmission is probably too big to fit in original tunnel, how much do I need to modify here?
What the alternatives on contolling the engine? Have HP tuners a solution for running original (remappable) ECU yes? or do I need aftermarket (holley?) and what about the transmission that needs to be controlled.
I want to use the Gerst tubular suspension as this one is the best? (opinions, alternatives?)
I may also want to swap the rear end to a dana 60 when Im at it. Is strange the correct alternative? I want a "bolt on" kit
I also want new 20" custom wheels, 12" rear and 10" front. Who has the most bad *** wheels to this car?
I also want to strengthen the chassis with a kit from AMD.
anyone done this and have recommendations?
I will be glad for all input on this questions, its a lot of stuff that can be discussed.
Feel free to ask me quiestions during the build.
I must also buy the complete engine with transmission, so If anyone knows about something for sale?
