I don't want a brand new Hemi engine sitting around for a year or so while I try to get the car ready while still working 60 hours a week at my job. It could take a while to get it done. This 71 is pretty much ready to assemble.

I might sell my 73 Charger in the spring.

Is that the one from Cali with the bulge hood?

Yes

I hereby dub the car the Superbeeast!

 

[chargervert]

I have a hidden headlight grill and a front bumper to blast and paint to match the rear bumper.

I'm getting ready to setup the clutch for the Hemi,and I am thinking the stock aluminum bellhousing probably isn't safe to run with 650 ish horsepower. I just looked up an Ultrabell with the block protector plate,they are $1400.00 these days! Holy schit! Line lock and a driveshaft loop will be needed too!

 

[Cheapsunglasses]

Is it going to have body color steel wheels and poverty caps?

 

[chargervert]

It has rallye wheels currently,but the plan is 15 x 10 polished aluminum slotted wheels in the back 15 x 8 slots up front.

Perfect choice ! I knew you were not going to desecrate the car with dog dishes , I had to stir the pot

You'll be smashing gears as hard as you can at 7 grand?

 

[chargervert]

The engine made 631.5 horsepower @ 6800 RPM.

Yes, nothing in this hobby is even affordable anymore. Luckily, for all my contacts and discounts in this industry/hobby or else I couldn't get to enjoy these cars like I do.

 

[chargervert]

The bellhousing,block protector plate,driveshaft loop,a Hurst line lock kit,and spring pearches for the Dana 60 are ordered.

 

[chargervert]

The bellhousing is here!

Why do you need to beat it with a hammer?

 

[chargervert]

The gold ring in the center needed to be tapped in to the bellhousing to fit the front bearing retainer of the 18 spline 4 speed transmission.

The bellhousing wasn't cheap,but how much are your feet worth. My friend has a 10 second 66 Charger and he ended up with a broken foot when his automatic blew apart. It split the seam of the floor and firewall wide open on his car. I saw a 69 Z28 RS that the clutch blew threw the floor and dashboard like a buzzsaw,out the windshield and peeled back the top edge of the roof of the car! In the long run it's cheap insurance!
