Dodge Charger 500 -70, 6.1 Hemi + manual, Pro-touring project

[MikkoV]

Transmission issues with this, i got good deal from GM T56 so bought one. And got also good price from that Getrag box so...

So what´s easiest and most cost efficient way to mate GM T56 with my Hemi

Viper bellhousing bolt pattern matches to Hemi bisedes two top holes? But input shaft is too short with that?

[MikkoV]

Does bellhousing from challenger srt8 fit to this? bellhousing fron tr6060 fits to t56 right? Is there big lenght difference in input shafts?

Small progress with car otherwise also

Pretty sure Quicktime has a bellhousing that mates a GM T56 to a Gen III hemi.

Try calling Mark Bowler at Bowler Transmission, he'd know or be able point you in the right direction

[MikkoV]

Yes, this seems to be the one ->

But that´s over 500$ everywhere, plus ~100$ shipping to here Finland.

Dodge OEM http://www.moparpartsoverstock.com/p...8061184AA.html

Is lot cheaper, and personally believe that oem product is more precise for fitment.

There is somesord of mix up in this, but could it be that 8077 requires Viper input shaft or custom flywheel and pilot bearing spacer.

And 8078 is direct fit with LS T56

And, Rm-8081 for Hemi and Dodge TR6060, for new Challenger that sees to have separate bellhousing unlike Chevy TR6060. If you look picture, seems that transmission bolt pattern is same that older T56 boxes, but what would be the lenght? Can´t seem to find that dimension picture anywhere.

Pretty sure the Dodge OEM one will not work

Found this thread, according to that. Dodge tr6060 bolts to t56 bellhousing

[MikkoV]

I eventually get quicktime bellhousing, now had time get back to this. I builded another dailydriver -70 Charger at meantime




Hemi...
Its pretty tight (impossible?) fit with steering box and drivers side exhaust manifold, any ideas which location should i move engine? If i remove A/C compressor, i can take it further back.

It´s now about 1.5" on right of centerline and oilpan at k-frame level. How far back are these ususally mounted? Transmission tunnel seems to need quite a bit modification for T56.












I´ve been playing around with idea of fabricating bolt on subframe add-on for steering rack, that would solve issue with steeringbox, and couple other problems too.

Wish I could help, Mikko, but I don't know much about Mopars. I'm glad to see you still working on it. The orange one is nice as well. Good luck with them.

I believe 1.5" offset is correct for B-Body. For the front / rear location and height, make sure you are clearing the steering center-link lock to lock. Do you know the location for the stock engine? I have a Mopar A-body, so I can not be much help, it is a little different. If you move the location of the engine it affects many other pieces, it is a big jigsaw puzzle.
