Finally began working on my 72 Satellite. I have had the car for two years and took a long time to decide on what direction I wanted to go with the car. I considered making the original 318 a turbo stroker, or a 400 big block (Turbo of course), Turbo Gen III Hemi, Hellcat, Hellephant, or Tesla Ludicrous.
I have a Turbo 340 Dart I built a while back and love everything about it, See the build Here: https://www.forabodiesonly.com/mopar/threads/1969-dart-gt-340-efi-e85-turbo-build.278468/
Instead of making another car just like the Dart, I decided on the Tesla Swap. This is a steep uphill learning curve, and I set rules for my builds. Must be a turnkey street car with ability to cruise, tour, track, and show. I know this is not going to be popular with everyone, but as least it is not an LS
Here are some specs of the Tesla Swap:
Full Tesla Model S subclip including independent suspension, brakes, halfshafts, motor, inverter, limited slip differential
Motor is a Ludicrous drive unit capable of 636 horsepower at 400 volts / 1400 Amps
Torque at the half shafts can exceed 4,000ft/lbs.
16,000 RPM
Battery will be a full 90kwh Tesla battery pack and should put range over 200 miles of normal driving .
Charging will be CCS, capable of 110, 220, and fast DC charging.
Here is a video slideshow of the project so far:
