Has anyone seen where someone has put an old school Mopar engine in a newer Challenger? I was drinking bourbon last night and browsing on another Mopar forum I dare not name, and saw that they make a bellhousing to mate a TR 6060 to a LA/B/RB block. I wonder how hard it would be to stick a 440 under the hood of our cars? I know lots of us like the old school characteristics of this car, and to me, nothing screams old school more than an old Mopar with a 8-71 sticking out of the hood. Also, looking at the prices some of the performance Gen 3 hemis, and supercharged applications, I believe I could build a 512 stroker for half the cost and have just as much horses naturally aspirated. Again, these are just some of my thoughts I figured I would share and see what input or thoughts yall may have.

It's the reverse of what you're talking about, but...

What do you get when you cross a 1968 Dodge Coronet with a 2007 Dodge Charger?

That is definitely one of a kind. Very interesting, thank you for posting, I had not seen that thread!

I like the idea because it would be something I could do myself . Work on fix and tinker with but a new motor with a maze of tubes and electronics way beyond me . On top of that everything is so available including information . If I saw one at a show I'd be having a massive perv . :smileup:

it will never pass emissions standards

That is what is beautiful about the great state of GA, unless you live in Atlanta there are no emissions tests required.

Seams like there is a lot electronic gizmos and computer things with these cars. Would be interested to see if it possible.

That is sweet! I was so sad that they didn't show the whole car. I bet it looks amazing with those drag stars and that motor sticking out. I'm just wondering how hard it would be to get around all the electronics.
