Thanks for the tips on the frame stifferers .
Being a former drag car, my frame already had the stiffeners installed.
I will have to check on the torque boxes to be sure they are upgraded as this is the only E body I have worked on underneath.
Lots of great knowledge offered by all and I know...
Ha! Good to know the 26" will fit as I will have to have a new radiator anyway, hate to cross the hoses.
Good info on the transmission pan too.
Informantion like this saves a lot of trial and error, for me anyways.
Thank for the replies. Would have been near impossible to get to the point I am at without help from folks on this site.
It's a relief knowing the linkage will switch over.
Definitely know I will have to have a BB transmission.
My car isn't set up for the 26" radiator and looks like a fair job...
A question for those more knowledgable than me.
My 74 Challenger has a 360/727 engine/transmission with factory console floor shifter.
I plan to switch to a 440/727 combo.
Will my existing shifter linkage connect back up without modifications?
Any other changes I need to consider?
I do have...
Finally up and running.
And no, it's not a T/A. Painted like this when purchased. A repaint is planned later on.
Received a lot of help from this site, thanks everyone.

Floyd,
New to the site. I started a conversation on Tuesday about the door pull bracket. I don't know if you received it. Anyways, the offer of the bracket is much appreciated. Just let me know how I can cover any cost and I will send my mailing info.
Thanks again,
Randall
Piecing back together a former 1974 Challenger drag car. Good because it was off the road for many years. Bad because lots of small parts misssing or incorrect. This looks like the site to find some answers and hopefully I will be able to contribute along the way.
