Does your Challenger have a numbers-matching 340 and/or trans? If so,
don't do the swap, or at least keep the engine/trans safely away in your
garage!
Otherwise, a relatively easy swap if you have a 727 or 904. Same
K-member. If you have the 8 3/4 rear, it should do fine (but you might
need a HD driveshaft).
Go through the engine and trans no matter what the seller says ...
Exhaust, throttle, radiator (maybe), etc. will require some changes, but
the parts are readily available on eBay, etc. Check out my website for
some specific vendors. Good luck with your project!
