New member here from NW Ohio. My project is a 1966 Dodge Charger 383/727. I bought it in February of 2023. It didn’t run. Had some cancer in the quarter panels. The passenger floor pan was rotted out. The rear bumper pan was rotted out. Hardly any of the parts were installed. It was basically a rolling shell with no interior, no glass, and a lot of boxes full of parts. I’ve worked on cars my whole life but this is the biggest project I’ve done myself. I’ve done everything but the paint. My uncle helped with that part in trade for some mechanical work. It’s about 90% done and it runs and drives. Next step is finishing some trim, some more interior work, and replacing the power steering gearbox. At this point, I’m not sure if I want to go with a new fast ratio gearbox from Lares or if I should save up some money for a Borgeson setup.

Nice. Welcome from the central coast of Cal. If you decide to go Borgeson, get it from Peter at BAC. One of our sponsors here and you'll get EVERYTHING you need for the swap. Unlike many other sellers.

I was looking at the complete kit from Jegs but I’m open to suggestions. It’s the same kit I found on the Borgeson website but I could use a promo code and also free shipping. It comes with the new gearbox, pump, lines, and the coupler.

Welcome from CT. Heck of a job of putting it together.

Check in with Peter. His coupler requires no hacking. Plus he's a serious Mopar dude and not a kid driving a ricer with no car knowledge.
