Been contemplating selling my 1969 charger and using the funds to start over on a solid rolling chassis. Market value on mine is roughly 30-35k in current condition. For what I want to do though its a lot of added work to tear down an existing car so would prefer if I could find something...

I have the aftermarket TR6060. Damn good trans. Some surgery to make it fit but upgrading from the 727 3 speed, its a whole new animal.

I've thought about the hellcat motor and there are plenty other engines and builds that can make that power easily. But there's something to be said about rolling up with a true hemi. My grandfather had a Daytona with the hemi and even the chevy guys gave respect lol I'm 24 and looking to keep...

Honest question, why are hemi builds so much more expensive than most other builds? Have a 69 charger that I will eventually build an engine for and would love to get a Gen II 426 hemi block and build it to around 700HP, but every page says expect having to set aside 20-30k to do so. Whereas...

I've never dealt with summit before, didn't know they were an AP distributor either. Thanks for the info. How do you like the T56?

Got a 1969 charger with the 727 three speed and the console. 727 is pretty much toast at this point and I've been planning on putting Tremec's Magnum 6 speed in it for awhile. Was hoping to get one more year out of the 727 before doing so but it is what it is. I have been told for awhile now...

Thanks for the advice. I get what you're saying, it makes sense. I'll PM ya

Thanks for the advice. I started a business about the same time as I got the car and it happened to take off so I've been able to do pretty well for myself. No debt to pay off helps too.

Hey everyone. Posted a few times here and there, just throwing out where I am at with planning my restoration, see what you all think. A little back story, got my 1969 charger r/t clone back when I was 16 (before I even had my license). She looked great but engine, trans, and diff were blown...

Looking for a 1968 or 1969 440 wedge block. No cracks, must still be able to be machined. Needed for a full performance build. Located in SE Michigan.

Okay thanks I'll give him a call tomorrow. Thanks to all for info

I've got a Borg Warner 4.10 Sure grip rear end in my 1969 charger that I'm looking to get a ring and pinion for. Anyone know where to find good, strong replacements? So far I've seen some that say "replacement for Dana 4.10" but nothing for Borg Warner 4.10 replacement. Is there a difference?

Man, the Hemi is already impressive enough. I don't remember what I have on mine at the moment. Gonna bring it out of storage soon to start working on it, I'll have to check

I offered to buy it off him but he didn't want to part with it. I even offered to trade him a rebuilt 440 so I could have the original but since he rebuilt the original, he didn't want to sell. It's pretty unfortunate but what can you do.

It doesn't have the original engine. It has a 383 out of a 71 cuda. The guy I bought it from took the 440 out to put in his truck.
