1972 Charger engine swap
Man, the guys at United Driveline & Transmission are awesome. I would have had the car back last week if i hadnt lagged on getting back to them on authorizing the work!! ( dont ask, cell issues)
Regardless, i called them Monday morning, gave them the OK, and monday evening they called me back to tell me it was all done!!! Its looks so good that the rest of the under body and driveline now look terrible. I need to paint the axle and tranny, clean the underside really well and give it a new rubberized undercoating. I'll post some pics later. Shes a few clamps and minor details away from melting tires. ..

The green is a precursor to the body color. Its going to be the Mopar Sublime lime and black scheme. Not the particular green you see on the suspension parts, but thanks none the less.
Well i wasnt there to take quality photos or video, but here are the only salvageable shots i could get from the crappy video my sister took. The camera was all over the place and she got horrible angles. sigh . ..at least the car is moving under 440 power finally. And it sure lit one tire up without even trying. The carb needs to be tuned big time though, as you can see it backfiring in one shot and the Dana60 coming this winter will take care of the one tire fire. Good enough for now


Sorry for the lag in reply-
The Charger is mobile now but still has a ways to go. Tuning the carb is the major issue right now and i haven't had the time to do it. I also have to cut the hood to fit the scoop, finish the interior and fabricate a new center console to accommodate a few gauges. Should be getting some work done in the next couple weeks so i'll keep you all updated

The Charger is slowly but surely getting there. Its was a blast to take around the block a couple times but thats been just about it as far as driving it is concerned. Still needs a few things. Not much more though. Soon she'll be making the fastest trips to the grocery store this side of the states has ever seen . . might get a little track time too
Had a little free time today and i successfully de-striped the cragars

Well if you can direct me towards a credible shop that can make and install a brand-new, lightweight drive shaft and diff yolk for $20 bucks in less than a day- let us all know!!!
