I have a buddy with a 70 Charger that wants to drop a late-model 392 Hemi into it along with a 5 speed (with no tunnel removal). He'd like to keep the original K-member.

Have any of the magazines documented a similar conversion? He'd like to learn from others that have traveled this road before.

Thanks!

Take a look in the Projects and Survivors section. I though there was someone doing this. I don't think he is going to get away without cutting the tunnel. Unless you do the Passon 5 speed transmission. For the k-frame, I think someone came out with new oil pan. But in general, I think the k-frame needs to be swapped or cut up. He could buy another, cut it up and retain the original.

also check out the Gen 111 area on Moparts. lots of people doing the swap.
