Hi, just dropping a message to say hello from Lakeland Florida. Got a 69 charger to restore, and a 2004 hemi motor to sell!!! Hope to get to know some of the local mopar people, I do need some help with this project!</P>


Thanks,</P>

Welcome to the forum Matt. Hope you are enjoying the weather in sunny Florida. Can't wait to see some pics of the charger.

 

Welcome and good choice of cars. If you need help on the Charger just ask, my dad has 2 '69 Chargers, one he bought from a junk yard in the early '80's for just $50 and drove it away with no problems and I found the other for him. The junk yard Charger is a 383 Magnum with the Hurst 4 spd. and needs restored, the one I found he has redone and it has a built 440. My good pic of the 440 Charger is MIA, but here is an engine shot with the old radiator and hose, it currently has an aluminum Be Cool radiator and a stainless braided hose.

Thanks guys and gals for saying hi! You all seem much more friendly and active in this forum compared to a few others I belong to. That is a great thing! Now if I can just get this 5.7 hemi and trans to fit and run in this 69 charger....</P>

What happened to the vehicle the Hemi came out of ?

 

One of my new Mopar magazines has a Challenge, I believe, with the new Hemi in it. It is quite nice. <img border="0" src=smileys/smiley4.gif border="0">

 

The truck it came out of I believe was hit quite hard in the rear.... We were able to save 3 rims, the complete front clip, and the motor/trans. I never saw the truck, it was up in Tennessee, just heard the details from the people who parted it out!
