Not as a bolt in. All the mounting points would have to be fabricated and fitted into the Chargers unibody. I saw somewhere that it was done. It might of been an E-Body. It was a lot of cutting and fitting.
I’ll have to look for videos or photos of that, thanks.
Do you know if the rear frame lines up with the mounting points on the hellcat? I just mean in width. I know a lot of fab would be needed but I wouldn’t want to distribute weight in an offset vertically.
Ewww.... Looks stupid in most cases.
No.
I do not believe that they align very well. There was a guy over on Protouring.com I think it was that did a Charger with a salvaged IRS from a newer Charger or something. As I recall he had to basically reinvent the rear of the car to accommodate it. Also the fuel system has to be "reimagined" because of a lack of room.
If you had the title to both cars I would think that you could probably title it as either depending on the state you live in. That said, I would "think" that if you put old sheet metal on something like a Hellcat you still have a Hellcat with different clothing. That said, if you dump a Hellcat drive train into a 70's muscle car then you still have a 70's muscle car.
Perhaps in some but in others it looks pretty awesome. There was a guy at SEMA that is putting Cuda sheet metal onto a newer Challenger and they look legit. If it didn't cost $150K plus a donor I would be all over it. Also there is a guy on YT (Steve Marabelli) who has done a number of cars to include a 71 GTX on a newer Challenger, his own 69 Daytona on a newer Charger chassis, and a 70 Daytona on a Hellcat chassis and they look fantastic. You don't have to like it buy the results speak for themselves.
Are you the one people are saying made a YouTube video of it?
It probably is
Good call. I don’t think the benefits are worth the work and expense. It seemed like a good idea at the time. That’s why I just went with a Dana 60 on my redeye swap ‘Cuda.
