You just have to machine the flexiplate some for clearance and bolt the SB 727 there, the wiring and computer(if using ascrap one) isent easy, But i f you can afford you can buy everything allready done(wireing, computer, fueltank, mounts and headers).

yes any 5.7 or 6.1 bolts too a sb 727 sam pattern all you need is a flex plate adaptor from manicini or xv

wingcharger,

one if you use a wrecker 5.7 you can not use any of the wiring unless you can sell it off dont even take it...
two ifs its a wrecker motor make sure you grab the vin to disable the anti theft
three all you will need to convert is:

tti mounts 175
tti headers 800
flex plate-100
converting fuel system to efi-gas tank and a electric fuel pump 1000+
full wiring management system from street/performance 950

i know im forgetting something...


you can use your sb 727 linkage,driveshaft,and rearend(depending on gears)

oh yeah i have an 04 5.7 with auto trans with 50k on it full accessories,wiring,computers...everything
2000 shipped in the us only
rolling thunder is also do his in a roadrunner....

Thanks!

Are you going to convert it to carburated, or leave it EFI? In Mopar Action they converted it to carbureted with a kit from XV motorsports. I cant decide between the two. I want performance to blow away the ricers, but want it to be reliable because chances are it could be a daily driver. :coolgleamA: :2thumbs:

OK  it is a Hemi, but in my opinion the "elephant" is the old style Hemi :D :D

I read in the MoParts post on the guy using part of the original wiring harness. Would I have to?

Also, can you give me a link to the street/performance wiring harness?

Sounds like a nice setup for something to drive every day!! Auto or manual??

I always thought it would be cool to swap a 6.1 into a Charger. I could have HEMI badging, fuel efficiany of a new car (So it would be practical to daily-drive :nana:), and A/C.

The only thing is that I want a four speed, and they dont make 4 speed tranys for the 6.1 do they?

Would I be able to find a junkyard 6.1 longblock? Or would I have to have a 5.7?

I just located a 6.1 for my 68 Charger RT. I am glad to find so many people doing this that I can ask questions. Good luck! I look forward to seeing pictures and reading about your project.
