4500 seems way high.

Ok well just got home, I cant tell you how many thumbs up, 'nice ride man!' at stoplights, gas station, etc this car got Very cool. On the way home I ran 60 mph, it tached at 3,200 rpm which was much better but definately needs OD. This wont be a problem when I get my Keisler Tremec TKO 5speed installed. Logged right at 515 miles in the past 56 hours, loved every minute of it. The mod list is starting to grow, cant wait to get it going-will be ordering parts tonight. First two things I need is an original 73 440 44bl air cleaner assembly and a tuff steering wheel.

I know you will love the Tremec but you may also want to consider the Gear Vendors. You can keep your automatic and it's nearly half the price of the Tremec setup. I've had mine for almost 3 yrs now and it works great. I run around at 80 mph@ 3100 rpm's with 391's for gearing. I also added an electric fan as it gets pretty hot here in Fla. so that's a good mod to add. It's on a seperate switch and I use it as I need too.

Love the car man. It's a great looking ride.

Whoa! Is your name Andy? Is that your orange 71 R/T? How did you get your stance/suspension setup like that?

What aftermarket auxilary fan or fans are the best? ( I want something to move the most air)

What did the gear vendors entail? Did you install it? Difficult to do? This is my first muscle car with an auto tranny, not sure im liking it

Ahh, yeah, this is Andy...lol. It's my '71, I lowered the back with 2" lowering blocks and turned the torsion bars down some to get the stance. Now, since I'm getting to be an old man (45)...lol, I didn't like the harshness of the ride so I put it all back to....normal.

As for the fan, I have one in front of the radiator, 12"s round. Several types will do the trick. Ordered from Summit Racing. It pushes about 1200 cfm if I remember correctly, maybe more.

The Gear Vendors I ordered myself but, my neighbor owns a trans shop and he installed it for me. He had the drive shaft shortened about 12"s and rebalanced. He also had to bang out the trans tunnel just a bit for it to clear as the 3rd gen Chargers have a slightly narrower tunel to them the the 2nd gen cars. You can't hardly tell though and he touched it up too. Does not show inside the car either. You can expect to pay $2-300.00 for the install I would think. Hope that helps.

well i logged a total of 613 miles this weekend, loved every minute of it. Got it into the garage tonight, boy was it tight! Need to hang a tennis ball to know how close to pull in. With it all the way in as in the picture below, barely enough to put garage down!

[73TXRallye440]

You will need 4 bumper bolts, the chrome ones, to fill the holes where the "Bumper Guard" went.
I did the same on mine.

I may have a extra Dual Snorkel Orange BB Air Cleaner for your Charger. I will look this weekend.

Please let me know if you find the Dual Snorkel.

Where is the best place to get the 4 bumper bolts? (chrome ones)

it should look like this---

[BMOTOXSTAR]

I have the bolts and dual air cleaner.
Please PM me with your e-mail

I might have a column shift column from a 73 and I know I have a floor shift column.  Both are in parts cars though so im sure they would need rebuilt.  PM me if you want me to look into either of them for you.

Sounds like my garage is about as deep as yours. With mine pushed against the back wall, I have about 18" at the front. If I put my Suburbus in the garage, I have about 4" at the front...I have to either crawl under or go through one vehicle door & out the other, to get to the other side of my garage.
