The Challenger Revival, Part 18: We Finally Have The Powertrain!


The Challenger Revival, Part 18: We Finally Have The Powertrain!

You can rebuild the suspension, you can wet sand the body until the original paint come shining through, you can even completely restore the interior. But all of that is for not if you have no engine, no transmission, and no plans for it. The 1973 Dodge Challenger project that Dylan McCool has been wrenching on for the last few months is getting closer and closer to completion, but has been missing one vital part of the equation: running gear.

You may have seen us mention him using a late model Hemi block before… But this isn’t the same Jeep Grand Cherokee engine that he’s presented. Here, he will explain why he made a decision to go with a different engine, as well as show off the transmission that’s going to be made it to it. We can only encourage him to hurry up, bolt it all together, and get this thing making noise as soon as possible!

    A polished turd can still shine up nicely. Oh snap, that’s right, he isn’t gonna polish it….
