Painful Question
Are there any kits available to swap a 454 chevy into a 68 charger?

No! Now go kill yourself and give your car to someone that deserves it.

Maybe we should try to have him banned for such an offensive question.
I know that I about lost my lunch when I read that one. It makes my post, in the joke forum, appear rather mild. |

I'll tell ya what... Go stuff the 454 into a Vega and give me the Charger. She would look good next to my '68 Charger and my '69 Coronet 500 Convertible.

I don't know of a kit like that. There is a large booth at the car shows I go to with conversion kits that is popular. I'm preddy sure that they advertise in the Mopar Mags, specifically Mopar Muscle.
But like everyone else has indirectly said, the demand is not there. |

I think I saw the conversion the other way around on this website:
www.wedgeinachevy.com Or, then again that may be a bogus link and I may just be one of the 95% mentioned above that thinks this is an extremely bad idea (to put it "user friendly"). The only way I have EVER remotely approved of cross breeds like this was when the car was a body in white/green or all fiberglass, or a dragster. The last one of these crossbreeds I saw was a Daytona with a Chubby motor in it, and when I told him I was disappointed that it did not have Mopar power, he went off on me and we almost got in a fistfight. I guess when your 6' 2" and pushing 290 it's a little easier to let your opinions fly... Dartman PS - Then again, could this possibly be a troll? Pretty odd question... |

GADS! This is at least 2 people I've heard of that want to put a junk motor into a Mopar!

Crazy and insane
i All;
Remember that 2% of the population is certifiably insane, and that you can bring horse to water but getting said horse to drink is another mule( if you get my meaning ). A chebie aquaintance of mine hates rat motors he's built 2 of them and both died an early death and were slower than his 408's... Denny |

Youare kidding right? It's almost christmas, but nowhere near april fools. The install is simple. Put the charger in the paper and exhange it for cash. You'll end up with enough money to build lots of BBC motors. Put them into something like a cutlass. That's cool. Into a mopar? That's just wrong. It makes no sense. Devalues the car AND makes it slower. These cars are just too nice for this sort of thing. |

Well it shows he's posted 81 times, but he hasn't responded to anyone's reaction. I think he's just stirring up shit for fun. :flip:

Sumbeech is getting COAL in his stocking for sure. When I win the lottery I am going to build a 32 Ford with a MOPAR motor in it. Just to piss them off.-Don

GUYS THIS IS NOT ,I REPEAT NOT MY CAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I would never dream of doing such a thing.Here is the rest of the story.A customer brought a 360 to our machine shop yesterday and the boss had a 600 hp 454 on the run in stand.Customer asked to hear it run and the bo$$ said SURE.Well this guy got wood and the next thing I know he buys the friggin anchor.Then my phone rings and low and behold the interface questions start to fly.He also wants to run a power glide trans in it!Personally I hope there is no way to do it.I haven't seen an abundance of 68 Chargers just lying around for the picking,let alone one to be butchered in this way.

1. The cost of converting a Mopar to accept a BB GM motor is not that easy or cheap, if done right. Master brake cyl, K frame, trans mount... 2. The destruction of one of the more sought after classic Mopars of all time 3. The sight of a 454 in a Mopar isn't going to wow or impress anyone whith any kind of real knowledge. 4 The maintainence if anything goes wrong, or parts that might need replacing. 5. No resale value at all. The GM guys won't want it and the Mopar guys will stay away like the plague. 6. Sucking up a built GM motor for a non GM unit when someone could use it in their GM product. 7. And last of all the constant never ending people like us who will ridicule him to the day he leaves this mortal coil! |

Just convince the boss to build him a 440, instead of selling him the 454. 600 HP out of a 440 isn't that tough.

Hopefully you can help to convince this guy that he should build this car a better way. |

Good to know you guys are willing to come out swinging to rescue a true classic.I think the customer will "See the light" when he finally figures out the expense and hassle of his ill advised endevour.(I love using big words)

When you are done with that, will you help me put a turbo charged V-tech out of a honda into my Cuda. I love that FWD action! I'm just kidding man. I'm sure that with a motor plate you can make anything work.

I feel like Im going to puke, tell the guy that I will buy his charger just to get it away from him and his twisted mind. Id rather see him turn it into a General Lee clone than put a 454 boat anchor in it.
