  looks like a good  project 

[Charger74]

Two things to consider if you are putting a 440 in there.   First of all, since it's a small block car, you will either have to get special mounts from Schumachers ( http://www.engine-swaps.com/Pages/ProductsYear/73UP.html ) or you will need to replace the k frame with one from 73 and up b-body (Charger, Cordoba, Magnum).

Great progress

We've been introduce before but welcome aboard

As for your rear windshield outer trim needs, I have the lower pieces (2).

PM me if you want more info.

I notice that you have an SE hood on a non SE Charger, well at least the hood emblem.

Anyway keep up the awesome work

My 73 looks almost identical, orange with the original brown under where the vinyl too was. Was painted b5 blue in between the original and the orange. What I was saying is with the 73 there is no need for the Schumacher mounts or swapping the k frame. The 73-74 charger K frames were the same between SB and BB. Spool type mounts on my 74 400 BB and fell into place like it always lived there. Good luck on your project!

Thank's for that info....

Welcome & good luck!

Got a 400 big block built for it dyno numbers are 467.6 lbs. of torque and 423.0 hp

Looks pretty, but you may want to get a different thermostat housing unless yours is billet aluminum.  The chrome ones are known to leak.

[skip68]

Yep. The chrome one's are known for leaking.   Looks great though and the numbers are good.   It should run really well for you in your car.   

[VegasCharger]

Great looking engine and great numbers

I notice that you have an older style water pump housing (lower hose exits driver's side), if you plan on using your original A/C and power steering components as well as the radiator you should switch to the 73 and later style wp housing (lower exits pass. side) see pic below. If you plan on doing all underhood mods then it's no problem. Just saying.

Great progress

EDIT I forgot that your Charger was originally a small block, nevermind

You'll just have to get matching components on which water pump set-up you use.

Welcome to the site.   Looks like a great car to start with too.  I kinda like the current color with the black rims myself. But B5 blue is a great choice as well
