I love the idea. I bought an 87 brand new in 86, a black and silver one. I always wanted to pro street it with a v8. A few years ago at the big Mopar show in Belvidere Il. there was an 85 Charger there with a big block stuffed in it. It was crued looking peice but the horsepower to weight ratio is a plus. Goodluck with your project, keep us posted. Maybe someday I'll build that one I always wanted, but now I think I would put a Tubo Buick in it instead

finished up the rear suspension, took the driveshaft to get made earlier this week. I also got the parking brake setup finished, bled the brakes, and I should get the fuel cell installed tomorrow.
