Hello all.
I am doing a 6.1 supercharged hemi swap in my 70 RR. I just picked up the motor last week. It's out of a 2010 challenger and the supercharger is a saleen prototype.
I recently purchased a computer out of a 2010 charger but was told that it won't work from a member in this forum.
I am using aftermarket gauges
I am planning to purchase the following items and would appreciate any tips that can give
dougs headers
milodon oil pan, oil pickup, thermostat
motor mount plates
flexplate adapter for trans (I have a 727 connected to my 440 big block now)
A/C delete pulley
mini starter
2 oxygen sensors
drive by wire gas pedal
I know I'm missing a bunch of stuff but any input(parts, part numbers, suggestions) I can get from you guys would be greatly appreciated!! thanks
 
The first thing I can think of is that the trans will need to be a small block bellhousing - the one bolted up to your 440 won't work, unfortunately. Perhap swap the guts to a small block case?

You'll need a new dipstick (the factory used a pan mounted dipstick)

If you use a drive by wire setup, you'll need to figure out a linkage to provide the throttle input to the 727 auto; we know what happens to a TF727 with no throttle valve input!

Other than that, drop it in and fire it up!
 
here is my project without the supercharger. i got it up an running this year and runs awesome. you can see all the parts i used. as for auto setup lxmodguy is a wealth of knowledge on these builds as are a few others on here. good luck on the build i will be watching i can see a supercharger in my near future. http://www.forbbodiesonly.com/moparforum/showthread.php?36844-my-70-barn-find
 
If you do the small block 727 swap, I have an empty case for cheap, cleaned and stripped.
 
Just read and watched your entire thread usaroadrunner. All I can say is WOW!!!
