E-Body V8s are all basically the same motor mount as far as I'm aware of. It's just the brackets between the motor mounts and block that's different. That's why it's so easy to put a big block in a 72-74 E-Body. 😁
If you go with the Borgeson box, get it and the great adapters from Peter at Bergman Auto Craft. It makes it a direct bolt in for your steering column.

Before spending to cash, call the business you're going to buy the Moog lower ball joints and make sure they are made in USA. There are Chinese ones out there unfortunately.
When I've had to replace a small block timing cover, I always had to tighten the pan bolts first to crush the section of cork gasket so I could get the holes in the front of the block to line up. So I guess I did it right out of necessity. 🙂
Not to steal this post, but yesterday @heminut and I soda blasted his center console. Had to "unplug" the ball valve going to the hose as the soda got some moisture in it. Don't you just love it when you have to work on your tools before you can use them.
The 354 Hemi is pretty desirable as...
A 1970 Challenger with a 340 was a JH23 or JH27 with the A66 package. Even the 1970 Challenger T/As where not R/Ts. Somewhere in this cars past the 727 torqueflite was replaced with a 904. 904s rob a little less horsepower and were typically a little faster in the 1/4 mile than the 727, but with...
Definitely look for a crushed rear brake line. I agree with @Steve340 and jack up my Mopars at the k-frame or center of the rear axle. After my Dad drove my Mom's Valiant off over a pair of ramps, I've never used those things either! Poor Dad got an ear full that day.
That is one beautiful 70...
Definitely sounds like an exhaust leak because it tends to go away when you revved the engine. A lifter or rod bearing would just get faster. At night, you should be able to see flames like @Mopar Nut mentioned if you can get at the right angle - might have to crawl under the car. And the only...
You can't even find the Mopar Performance XHD leaf springs any more. But I've had them on my 70 Challenger for about 20 years now. No sagging or sitting too low. Looks pretty level to me.
In my opinion, I would pass. Either of the three are less hassle to live with: Hooker #5115, Doug 453(?) and TTI 1 5/8 or their stepped header. Cheap deals usually aren't good deals!
@Vaath did you install 70s R/T strips on the 2021 Challenger? I ask because if you did, Chrysler certainly followed the side "ripple" pretty dang close between old and new! 🙂
Since you have a small block 360, get a 518/46rh automatic with overdrive, and install the 4.10 rear end! With .69 overdrive, your 4.10 will become a 2.83! Best of both worlds.
