Help with a Charger

<< < (3/5) > >>

Rexxy:
Also, how hard/pricey is it to change the auto (I believe that carsales one is) to a manual?

wheels:
That car is odd, Definatly got a 392 hemi, defiantly not original, since they stopped making those in '58. But they've painted it up to look like a 426, even removed the plug lead shields to look like a 426, which is the correct hemi for this car. Pretty cool though all the same still a hemi and defiantly wouldn't be pulling it out to put a wedge motor in, maybe to make way for a 426 hemi but that would be it, you will be hard pressed finding a good manual box that will bolt to the back of that 392 block, they have a bolt pattern unique to the early hemis so nothing else will go straight on, though there would be mobs in the states who would offer conversion kits to run different bolt pattern boxes to early hemi, turbo pattern adaptor would be the go, would keep your gearbox options open.

Rexxy:
So, what would you suggest? Just leave well enough alone? Or put a slightly bigger Hemi in?

Rexxy:
That being said, I could just spend a lot more money are get a '68 charger. Well, the bank would spend a lot more money.

wheels:
I would leave it alone, sourcing and fitting a 426 hemi into that car would not be a cheap excercise, also nothing is interchangeable between them two motors. It looks like a good car left as is. 727 tourqueflight boxes are generally a pretty tough auto, besides, if ur changing gears you won't have a free hand to cop a feel of jen hawkins in the passenger seat :rub:  :rol:
