I see people talking about Holley Engine mounts for their Gen 3 hemi and looking on their site I see these: Hooker Blackheart Engine Mount Brackets https://www.holley.com/products/engine_swap_parts/hemi_swap_systems/parts/BHS566 Which are not Holley branded obviously. Are these the right ones...

While you're right that it's "my car" etc, I would not do that to a numbers-matching car!!! The convertible was a 318 car originally, and (I was told) the 383 came out of a Dart but can't vouch for that. It was a tough decision because I really love BB power/torque but decided the 392 is the...

Oh I get it. I'm a big block Mopar guy going all the way back to my high school days when I had a 68 Charger with a 383 in it, and then a 70 Challenger hardtop with a 440 and a 4-speed pistol grip. When I bought this 70 Challenger convertible to build I was deciding between a 440 big block or a...

Thanks for the candid thoughts, and I was thinking along the same lines. I want to get a fair price for the engine/trans because I need whatever I can get to help finance the rest of my own build. Having said that, I am a car guy at heart, so I really want the thing to go to someone who will...

ok, so that's very helpful and I now realize that I need an ignition module and ballast resistor in addition to a coil. I don't know if it's worth the trouble to buy those parts and spend the time in the hope of getting "more money" when I sell the thing. I can (will) plan to: - Look inside...

Actually put a different way - and I know we're into "opinion territory" here, is going through this effort a waste of my time? It's a basic run-of-the mill 1969 383 block.

Yes I want to see if it runs and is basically ok. I also have a scope I'm going to use to look inside (and take pics) of the cylinders. I was told the engine was rebuilt 11k miles ago but have no way to verify that and plan to be up front when I sell it about what I know. But it seems like being...

I have a 383 BB (with 727 torqueflight) that came with the purchase of my car that I'm not going to be using, so I'm going to put it up for sale. Before I do that, I want to get the engine running. I'm looking for a super-simple wiring diagram on how to hook up the...

LOL yes I would do that - but it's going to be a while I'm not even reassembling the car yet. Little by little.

The car came with a pristine black interior, plus an extra console and some extra (not as nice) door panels. I get what people are saying about not cutting up the panels for what might be minimal sound quality gain. I've never owned a convertible so this is a first for me, and I'm thinking...

LOL, thanks for your opinion.

So I found this pic of a car 1970 challenger convertible that sold @ Mecum earlier this year. First, the idea of kick panel speakers is a great one and I was already planning on doing that. My last project was a 55 chevy and I fabricated some kick panel mounts from ABS that I had my interior...

Question for convertible owners: where/how do we fit rear speakers in these cars? I had a 70 challenger hard top in the past, so dropping a couple 6x9's in the back package tray was a no-brainer. This is my first convertible and I want to fit it with a decent sound system, hoping for 4 speakers...

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...
