68 Charger Resto mod Hellcat Build

[JimmyPRestos68]

Hello, I am new here. I purchased a 1968 charger with an 08 chassis. I bought it running and driving but totally stripped. I got several of the parts with it but most of them are in desperate repair and or replacement. I have since purchased the complete front end sheet metal. Now on to present day. I have stripped it of the 5.7 hemi and trans and rear end and k member. Now up on the rotisserie for more welding and missing welding being redone. Next thing is for me to figure out what front subframe setup I will be using for the installation of the 2019 Hellcat engine. What have some of you used if you have built a project like this? Thank you all. I will be posting pics as I move forward with the project.

I'm not following, if you purchased the car complete with the 2008 chassis why don't you have the engine mounting/front suspension systems it came with? Does the new engine differ a lot from the 5.7?

Welcome and cool project!
As mentioned , your previous k frame setup was no good?

I used a Control Freaks front k-member and suspension purchased from mopar pro shop for my Hellcrate install into a 69 Charger. It had been great so far. Very slick installing everything from below.

Riley Motorsport makes a similar unit that people seem to like.

I assume you already know about the rear sump pan kit, 45-deg oil filter mount and the low profile intercooler manifold.

looks like you have a great car to start with.

Good luck!

I used Reily Motorsports 'AlterKtion' front rack set up on my challenger. Awesome set up! Only thing i don't like is that the 'turning circle' isn't quite as tight as with the stock K-member. Otherwise, very nice!

if you look at the k member its definitely a newer k member from the charger . what it sounds like he doing is getting rid of all that and going with a b body aftermarket coilover setup
I personally went with gerst suspension in my 68 coronet

I have the RMS suspension. And his rear 4 link.

Hello! Is it enough space for oil filter with 45 degree mount under oil coolant pipe diversion with RMS suspension? Thank you
