modern 392 hemi in 69 charger

Hey everybody, what's up. I got a question about putting a modern 392 HEMI in a 1969 charger. If anybody has done this before or knows where to look to do it, anything will help! Will it fit on the original k-member? Also how would the electrical wiring work for that? We would also like to bolt an A-833 4 speed to it if possible. thanks a bunch guys, It would be awesome to have a modern 392 HEMI charger RT!

the reason im asking is because I have always wanted a 2nd gen HEMI charger but a 426 HEMI is just too expensive. I can find 392s for $7000, half the price of a 426! I then thought it would be awesome to modernize a classic under the hood but keep it looking original on the outside.

as a point of history. the early Hemi 1951-1958. 331-392 in chrysler bodys. the full engine was 850-1000 lbs. ONE cyl head bare was 45 lbs. rockers shaft stantions was 35 lbs each head. on the 57 392 turn it upside down. you can pull 2 pistons out the bottom by rotation the crank. on far corners. IMHO its the ONLY stock non-race engine from the factory that after modding for race can take 1500 HP.
