My last build was a 55 chevy with a 350 small block, built to ~440 hp with racing heads cam, pistons etc. And I put FiTech fuel injection on it. It's a great car and definitely got some kick, but the 392 is going to be a step up and a better way to go for my challenger convertible. I can't wait.

I was in the same boat - deciding on old school BB 440 vs gen 3 hemi with 8spd auto. I ended up getting a great deal on a 2020 392 scat pack engine. 485hp and will be reliable as heck. Plenty of giddyup. I had a 440 challenger when I was a teenager, and I loved it. But I'm an old fart now and I...

I was hoping to see some responses to this post. I am thinking I'd like to run them outside the inner fenderwell like in the picture below.

Hey there, I'm in Hopkinton MA, so basically 495 just southeast of the MA Pike. Wondering if anyone on this forum lives in the general area? I'd like to meet up with some fellow mopar fanatics, maybe at Gillette on one of the Thursday events or another local cruise this year. I'm building a 70...

OMG that brings back memories!!! I was 17 or 18 years old and blew the clutch out of my 70 challenger one friday night while attempting to race another challenger of all things. Somehow limped it back home and (since I live on a horse farm) pulled it into the machine shed to work on it. Put it...

Great info and advice and thanks to all. I realize now the "Mancini" link I shared was actually for the USCT mounts which look really decent. I'm also going to lok at the TTI stuff because I like the idea of going with a brand and sticking with it for the sake of continuity and having everything...

I'm putting a 392 hemi in my 70 challenger convertible and at the point where I need to buy motor mounts, trans crossmember etc. I saw these Mancini Racing mounts which look functional but I know there's lots of other options. I plan to use the stock k-member and will do some boxing and...

I don't suppose you have the article?

Nice, thanks for sharing. I clicked the link but there's no pic on their site. Did you use their kit and if so were you happy? Seems like it could be $100 well spent.

So my car is a convertible and I'm putting a 392 hemi w/8 speed transmission in it, so I will be doing things like torque boxes and subframe connectors to me the car as solid as possible. After reading and doing some research, my plan is also to add the support bearing assembly to the steering...

Well I'm definitely in the "building" phase to I could add a support bearing, reinforce the steering box and/or do whatever would make for better driving/handling when the car is completed. Do you have any pics or advice on how to reinforce the steering box? Of point me in a direction? Any...

YEEEESSSSSS!!!! Awesome thank you so much! Super helpful and no question I can do something like that. 100% agreed it needs to be mounted to the engine as if it was sitting on top of a 440 or 426 instead of a 392.

Well the car looks great and there's lots of pics - thanks for sharing that. But I didn't see how he mounted it on top of the 392. However, seeing what he has done on his car in the pics makes me realize that I can fit the shaker bubble on top of the 392 engine (there's enough clearance) and...

Question for guys who have late-model engines with shaker hoods: how do you accomplish it? Do you mount the shaker bubble on top of the engine, or mount it to the hood? Either way, seems like it would be nonfunctional for it's originally-intended-purpose (right)? Any help is appreciated -...

Well in the time since I first posted this I decided to go with a (late model) 392 hemi & 8spd trans. It's from a 2020 scat pack challenger and (for me) will be the right balance of HP/torque and drivability. Regarding FiTech, it never ceases to amaze me how raising that name brings out the...

Thanks to all for the input, clearly it's not an original shaker hood which is pretty much what I expected (and fine with me). My plan is to finish it properly and use it on my challenger convertible. Which leads me to another question that will be a topic for a different thread.

I realize this is a slightly older thread, am hoping you can help me. How can I tell if the hood in the pic below is an original shaker hood, or a cobbled-up regular challenger hood? Any help is appreciated.

Instead of a kill switch could you do a battery tender? In my "other" muscle car I have a clock as well as a radio and a gps tracker I want to keep fully charged in case the car is ever stolen...and it can go weeks without being started so I use a battery tender to make sure my battery never...

I found plenty of rebuild kits for the front end online but nothing for the sector support shaft and bearing. I saw options for other (newer) vehicles so I understand whit it does and why it's a good thing to have. I'll keep looking, if anyone is able to point me to a company that makes it for...

Thanks for all the advice, I'm going to do as suggested and go with the Borgeson box. I was already planning to fully rebuild the front suspension and NOT use rubber bushings, a mistake a made when I did the suspension in my 55 chevy a while back. Two questions: 1. are there any kits out...
