I have a 69 Charger with an old busted 318 motor in it. I have saved up enough money and want to buy a crate engine and new transmission. Here is what I am looking at right. Any thoughts? Anything else I should be including in my purchase?

360 crate motor from Blueprint Engines

TCI Streetfighter 727 transmission

New flexplate and a torque converter

I've found them all reasonably priced on Jegs and am looking for some feedback.

How good are your brakes,suspension and rear axle ?  Whoa should match or excede the go.

There are some awsome small blocks today. Have you considered an overdrive trans. and running a lower rear axle gear?

Those have already been upgraded. I added disc brakes and put in a new rear end with a 3.55 ratio a year ago.
