Hi All,
Just joined as I want to learn more about swapping modern drivetrain and accessories from modern challengers into a 1970-74 Cuda. I own a 2018 Challenger and love every aspect of this modern, re-creation of the 1970's muscle car. When I first saw the 2008 Challenger - I thought - this solves so many problems for people seeking new tech/power in a muscle car that replicates the glory days of muscle. In high school I drove a 72 340 Cuda and built a 440 for it in a jr. college class - circa 1984. Wish I still owned it. My ideal car would be a restomod AAR Cuda with a 6.4 hemi. Much like this one. Alas, I don't have $155K. Here's my thinking - find a salvaged scat pak challenger for less than $20K and a CUDA project car with good sheet metal and no drivetrain - perhaps around $15K and attempt to transfer as much drive train and interior as possible. The goal being an AAR Cuda from the outside, but all modern inside. Any words of wisdom would be appreciated and especially links to swap projects.
Here was my ride in high school (long gone) and current Mopar.
