1970 Cuda with 2014 Jeep SRT8 swap

[Ash]

Hi guys,

Need as much advise as possible please.

Have purchased a 1970 Cuda (originally 340 manual) without engine or gearbox. Looking to swop in the 6.4 Hemi engine, 8 speed auto gearbox and brakes etc.. from a wrecked 2014 Jeep SRT8 is recently purchased. Would it be easier to source a manual box (could be more fun)...Please assist.

The SRT8 is an AWD...will post pics as the project gets interesting.

The heart of the beast is out and ready for transplant. 4 wheel drive system will defiantly work. Just nervous about all the wiring.

you got a lot of work ahead of you......hotwire auto is your friend for wiring

After getting rid of the Jeep 4WD setup which was well beyond our ability we purchased a 6.4 Hemi SRT8 300c...making great progress. The unique part if this build is we are using the engine, gearbox and rear diff. Also using the original instruments and original harness....including aircon....nav....launch control etc etc etc
