I currently own a 70 Challenger and await the 08 Challenger so I'll have both. The 70 was a California car, factory 383, automatic w/console, and a/c . This was a little boring so.... It got a 505 hp 500 cid factory crate engine, street fighter trans & 3:91 posi. I even kept the a/c on it. The flat hood would not fit with the 500 inch as it sits too high. I put a T/A hood on and it fits fine. This car is a handfull !!! It will break the tires loose easily from a 40 roll by just mashing it to the floor in drive when it downshifts. What a blast to drive!

Welcome to the club. Sounds like you have a nice ride there. Good luck getting one of the new Challengers. I hope you do. Glad to have you on board and look forward to your posts.

Glad to have you on board. You are one of the fortunate ones to have an original. Awesome!

Welcome and nice car..

Welcome to the site, dodge238! The thought of a 383 being boring coming from a 215 cubic inch V6 is a foreign thought to me, but I understand the constant want for more power out of your cars. Which crate engine did you use (meaning Wedge or HEMI)?
