You are dropping a hemo into a 77 

a Charger's a Charger and a Hemi's a Hemi years make no difference to me (unless its newer than '78 anyway then not so much)

[PocketThunder]

Ya buddy!  that will be saweeeet!

If any of the other engines need a home lemme know...   



Grats on the killer x-mas present

[Charger440RDN]

The engine is worth a lot more than the car. You can sell a 68 hemi engine for $15-20,000 and if you drop the hemi in a 2nd gen you could have a car worth $50,000 plus

this is true but i love my '77 its been in the family since the early 80's someday when i can afford a second gen the Hemi will go in there and the 360 will go back in the '77 but right now why not have fun with it since i cant afford my #1 dream why not have the next best thing??

No harm in that!! Who knows you may be able to get the car in Mopar Muscle magazine, there can't be too many 77 Chargers with a hemi out there.

[mauve66]

does schumacher make mounts for that, and what about the hesders???

[RD]

OMG!! THAT IS AWESOME!! I would love to see a 77 with a hemi in it. YOU GO LIZEY!!!

and yes mauve.. a guy with a 73 put a hemi in his.. the 77 and 73 have the same k member.

[69bronzeT5]

You could totally sell the Hemi and buy a decent running driving Charger.... Any way it goes though....SCORE!

[71ChallengeHer]

Very nice present. Congrats and enjoy

Hi

They made chargers in 77 or did they make cars with charger badges in 77? 

[FLG]

Hi

Your call



Honestly....after 74 everything went luxury. I think a Hemi in a 77 would have that cool WOW factor...but id go with either a 1'st-3rd gen to put it in. Especially 3rd gens...always look awesome with a hemi under the hood.

[G-man]

Thats a CHARGER?



Looks like some oldsmobile to me

would you sell it if it was a gift from your uncle?  not from family i wouldnt.

well at least the thing has two doors!

[motorcitydak]

Just plan on seriously reinforcing the body for that Hemi. A '77 360 did not make much in the way of power. I know it was nothing close to what a '68 426 actually puts out(not the advertised HP/TQ)

[dads_69]

In the mid 80's a Dr. put a 426 Hemi in a Cordoba. Search Car-Craft or Hot-Rod magaine issues, you'll find it. It was cool, but also lame. It was his daily driver I believe, but still.....

Congrats on your findings.

There was one of those in Bridgewater here. And old Mopar guy from back in the 30s or 40s or so had a about 4 acres of all things Mopar. Tons of high po stuff. I remember he had a stack of 10 or 12 Swinger/GTS hoods alone. Like candyland for Mopar lovers. Anyway I did see his 426 in a Cordoba. He told me the 426 hung off a chain on a tree for years. Waited for a car he liked (and he had lots of Chargers, runners, bees, Demons, Darts to have used - probably somewhere in the neighbourhood of 120-150 hi-po cars) but put it in a Cordoba.
A few years later I took my son down to see his place but he had passed on and the place was cleaned out. Never did hear for sure what happened to the approx. 4 acres of stuff. Some locals said the dumpsters were working for weeks, other said it was a free for all. I know it was the biggest non-commercial Mopar hi-po junkyard around. Wished I had taken a camera.

  please nooooooo, A hemi deserves a much nicer home!......tell your Uncle you'll take a 383 or a 440....but spare the hemi!.....Maybe even a hot small block! 318.....340....360?, much easier

[Brock Samson]

wow that's great!
i CAN JUST IMAGINE a cordoba sleeper. 
instead of dog dishes you could put those faux wire wheel hubcapps on it, but better secure them well.
Imagine the hit that would be at shows.
