New member with Viper powered 70 Charger
 

Howdy folks, I stumbled across this site while working on my suspension and brake setup for my Charger.

I've owned this Charger for about 30 years now, and now I am able to do the things to it that you can only dream about as a teenager.

I am in the midst of mocking the car up with a Gen 3 Viper V10/6spd drive train :thumbsup: . It has an alterkation front end and I will be purchasing a Dana 60, wheels and brakes for it shortly. That should complete the mockup.

A minitub has been done to the car with spring relocation. I'll be running 335's out back. Lots of frame modifications for stiffing (frame rail connectors, torque boxes, XV lower radiator support, XV Shock tower/firewall supports), the frame rails were boxed in while replacing the trunk and floor pans.

Here are a couple of pictures:

v10 - Update
 

Here are some more shots of installing/mocking up the V10. I'll be using 18x8 and 18x12 Forgeline ZX3R as shown...

:thumbsup: very cool.

Keep the pics comin as you progress

Very cool project. Welcome aboard!

Great project. Welcome....:D

Awesome, welcome aboard! Please keep us up to speed on your project. :cheers:

I dig the rat-fink shifter.

SRT-10 Ram engine donor?

Shifter
 

Yes - it's from a SRT-10 Ram.
The "Rat-Fink" shifter is the stock unit - it is there just for mockup of the trans tunnel. I'll swap it out once I figure out the console...

Awesome project GT. What's the overall diameter of your rear tire? Is that Mickey Thompson?

You are so right Pasi.... I know where is a viper engine like that for sale...;)
