[68chrgrwife]

I told him that he can sleep outside with it.  LOL  He LOVES that thing sooooooooooooo much, he barely has been inside since it got delivered.......

That's to cool.  Awesome and enjoy.

Congrats! The new Hemi is an awesome motor! Change the thermostat to a 160, add a CAI, load-in a custom tune, and you'll see 500HP
Good luck! And have a great weekend!

Tame that beast. 

[twenty mike mike]

Ooohhhh, that's very cool.   

So, you're going to develop step by step instructions with hundreds of pics for all your board buddies?   

[skip68]

[Big Lebowski]

[1968Coronet500]

I'm happy for you!!!   I wanted to do the conversion to my Charger last spring on a trade deal and then the guy backed out...

Let me know how it works out!!

Cool. I bet it will be fun installing. I would hate to see if you got a real hemi

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 ), 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?

Why would you not do a 6 spd?

[Mopar2Ya]

I would. I would take any manual. Better gas mileage and more power. What not to love? BUT, where would I find one since they are just now putting them in Challengers?!?!? No new Challengers in any junkyards around me.

[chargerman68]

the 6.1 matches up with our old sb 727 so i dont know about an old 4 speed

contact gill on moparts  he is in the lead for these 6.1 swaps....

T56?  I believe will work.... just need the correct bellhousing.

[ChargerSG]

5.7 bolts right to SB 727 or SB 4speed but i dont think the 6.1 will....

SWEET!! Anybody got a surplus 318 or 383 4 Speed?

Good chances I will end up using a junkyard 5.7
