At first we were doing a stock looking hemi car.

Then the customer wanted 18in wheels so we order wheels and brakes.

Then I wanted the viper motor & 6speed. So we found a motor on friday picked it up saturday, put it in sunday, cut on monday :rofl:

Your right were going backwards right now.(but way cooler)
If I knew we were going this way I would have done all this mock up before any paint.

In my frist post I asked about suspension? Not sure what is out there for the challenger. Haven't used any body for mopar yet.

get in touch with mean69, lateral dynamics, i know they just went to texas and put a kit in a mopar, they are making a killer 3 link, howver they may not be in production of the kit yet, give them a try.

Fit the motor today.Cut out 90% of the k member to get the motor to sit at the right height. the viper motor mounts sit right over the 440 holes :D and just clears the power steering pump. The center link hits the oil pan. Ill pull the pan to see if there's room to notch.

not sure if alterkations offers something, you might want to try them out .

comp-spec 02-20-2006 07:31 PM

Ive bin trying to do some research on what is out there before I buy the 1st 1 I see. I would like to use something that will last through some miles.
I can't find any k member made for this swap??

Name for the car: Hemotox :unibrow:


Are you guys going to leave the motor stock or build it up? TT even :D Depending on the year of car it came from you can easily make 750hp on pump gas. It's not terribly hard to bump that number up to 1100+


Is it a forged motor or creampuff? If it came from a 97-99 it has forged pistons stock and little bigger cam. The 00-02 are cast.

I've been doing a lot of work with TT vipers lately, they are absolute monsters. A friend of mine just cliped off an 8.75 @ 161 in a full street car, just swaped on a set of slicks.

Its the forged motor.Bought a 98 for that reason.Easy upgrades.I can't wait to drive this car!!!

Waiting for parts sucks.

On Barett Jackson, a '71 convertible Challenger with a Viper motor in it went for $65K, while the 302 #'s matching mustang went for $200K. I think that the Challenger was a lot more bang for the buck- and it was a driver to boot. Maybe check up on that car, I'm not sure on who it was built by - aired a couple of days ago.
