viper challenger

[comp-spec]

It looks like it will fit with stock firewall.Rad & fans are going to be tight but looks likes it will work.Tomorrow ill cut out the trans tunnel for the 6 speed and cut up the k frame to fit the oil pan.(It sits on the frame)The only other thing that looks tight is the power steering

this might be stupid , but why wouldnt you fit everything, cut weld , mock up then paint . why did you paint all that already ?

why not use some trick front suspernsion also . get rid of those torsion bars!

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

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.

I second jakes thoughts on the lat-dynamics 3link.....
Airride tech makes a tri 4 bar

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 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 .
