Finished up the Challenger project First place trophy, first time out

We are finishing up this project which has been on a back burner for a few years now but I thought you guys might enjoy some pics of it. 1970 Challenger convertible that we stuffed a Viper V10 with a 6 speed Tremec trans in. 550 horse with a 250 HP nitrous kit just in case. Enjoy.Jeff[ATTACH=CONFIG]68910[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]68909[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]68908[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]68907[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]68906[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]68672[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]68673[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]68674[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]68675[/ATTACH]

Pretty car Jeff, just not feeling the wheels though, so tell me how does it drive?

We set the motor back 8" so its nicely balanced without the weight over the nose and it has our coil over front suspension with power rack and pinion steering. Drives nice but I haven't put many miles on it yet. It has to be at a show on the 3rd of June so I will put a few (FUN) miles on it before then. As for the wheels Robert, this project was started several years ago when these were in style.

Jeff

I wouldn't mind having it. So I take it the firewall has been cut

very nice
it is no small feat stuffing a v10 in an e body
did you guys use a custom made k member or just modify the stock one ??
i need more info LOL
well done regardless

Hey Randy, one of our main mail order products is a tubular Chrome moly K member with rack and pinion steering, tubular control arms and coil over shocks (which is going on my Road Runner as soon as it comes back from paint). We made a few modifications to our E-body piece and squeezed the motor on in. Without the torsion bars its a pretty nice fit. Check out our stuff at magnumforce.com.

Jeff

Jeff this is one you should bring to the convention, for exposure for the shop of course

jeff
checked out the site
some awesome pieces great work
but where are the camaro parts ???????
lmao
randy

Umm I'm sorry, what kind of parts. Lol.

Jeff

Made a bit more progress and added a few new pics. Enjoy

Jeff

Nice Car Jeff!! Would the internals of that V10 hold up to a supercharger? Probably not enough room under the hood for it. Great work, nice to see it completed.

Jimbo

Good question Jim, I don't have an answer. The internals are stock and it does have a nitrous system on it. There is room under the hood for a ProCharger though. Maybe we should give it a try.

Jeff

That's a road-hugging sinister car! Absolutely killer. Thanks for sharing your skills, Jeff.

Love it! Nice work Jeff! Thanks for sharing the pics.

Kurt

Jeff, its a killer, and beautiful just the way it is. My heart will always be with vintage... Congrats on getting it all finished up! Enjoy her

We took it to the Mopar Alley Rally yesterday and took first place in the street modified class. WoooHooo. Thanks for all the great comments all.Jeff

Congrats on that one Jeff, very COOL Peice!

Congrats Jeff! That ride is sweet!

Kurt

Well deserving of the first place nod!! Beautiful car man, great work!!

beautiful, congrats!

The more I see your car, the more I like it, its a GREAT combo of colors. On a side note i brought my challenger into the stealership yesterday for an oil change. The fellas just drool when it comes in. It was a super unique day there. Two of the only 2011 green with envys in the state came in for an oil change on the same date. (what are the chances?) I was told by the serviceman that there were only two in the state, and the other one is a manual and has a sunroof. Mine is auto and without sunroof... and has the mopar group options. Sounds like mine is the only one in the state... Makes me feel a little less common :) I love my car...I know its not the fastest around...there are many GT500s in our town... so I don't feel superior in the speed column, but I love the look of a challenger, and it seems eveyone else does too...everyone stares and smiles. Fun stuff!! Congrats on FIRTS PLACE!!! :)

Sweet ride!!!!
You should get ahold of Paul from TTP and race him!!
I'd love to see what it would do in the 1/4 mile....

Hey Josh, not to take anything away from Paul's car but this one would leave his in the dust. We have upgraded the suspension front and rear, installed a gen2 Viper engine with a six speed manual trans and set the engine back 8" in the chassis. This car is fast and handles like a go cart.

Jeff

Sounds like you should race Paul for "pinks" LOL!!!!

Jeff,

That is one bad A Mopar!

Congrats!

[B]Well done Jeff, congrats on the 1st time out trophy win![/B]

Thanks for all the great comments everyone. I have put a few miles on it now and she drives like a dream. Handles way better than expected and hauls a$$.
