Okay, our 68 is currently running a nicely powered 440 mated to a 727.  I'm wondering if you can swap a modern Chrysler trans (SRT-8) into a 68 and how difficult would such a swap be.  Any advice??????


This Charger right here is a one of none, that means none before it, none to come.

Any of the new LX transmissions are totally electronically controlled, they need a transmission control module and it needs to talk to the main computer.

Not saying it can't be done but not worth the effort unless you're an electronic genius.

A 545rfe is much bigger in the tunnel and crossmember area and I guessing about 80 lbs. heavier .(from picking one up)  The 3:1 first gear and the .65OD would be great. I have not seen a stand alone controler for one yet. ($1000?)

I put a A518 in mine. Still takes tunnel mods.

The subject SRT8 transmission is the Mercedes W5A580, all different than the older RFE series.

My mistake. I looked under a 5.7 Charger and thought it was a 545.
