Ditch the flames on the windows, and yank the huge stereo out and it would be perfect.

Sorry, I like love muscle cars, but this is just ugly. It looks like it has been through that torture where they pull on your arms and feet and stretch you out. *Flame suit on*

I like this one, except for the flamed windows (honestly, can anyone show me a car on which they look good?) and the fact that, judging by the era, it probably has an emasculated engine. Not that that would too hard to remedy. And the stereo... no problem there. It's not a priority of mine, but I have no problem with people installing them if it's their preference. They don't screw up the looks of the car, and they don't hurt performance much. Maybe a tenth of a second in the quarter, if that. Unless you're a strip warrior, you'll never miss it. Plus, with all this weight in the back, it'll help weight distribution. *Like SuperDave, time to don the flame suit.*

Nah, the engine in this thing wouldn't be so bad. It's a Charger SE (judging by the hood ornament), so it might have a 400 big block (which made something like 275 horsepower, not too bad). It might also have a 360, which makes a little over 200 (not much less than modern Mustang GT territory). And yes, if this isn't fast enough for you, it is an easy remedy.

Yeah, that's not terrible, but those engines are capable of so much more. That's my point... bump up the compression ratio, port the heads, put on a better manifold and carb, install a more aggressive cam, and put on some headers on either one of those engines and you're good to go. Or just drop in a crate motor; Mopar will be glad to help you with that. This looks like a good car for a Viper V10 swap, if you've got the cash.

Somehow, nothing but a V8 would seem right in here. I'd rather get a Hemi short block for $4500, then build it up with 9.5:1 compression and a roots blower. Then mini-tub it (it's just a '71-'74 SE, so it's not rare) and stick some big meats under the back, with Auto Drag wheels. Tie that together with an A833 four speed, then paint it black with a raspberry flame job (not ghost flames, but in-your-face tape flames).
There's a Charger SE similar to this one parked nearby my house. It was dark blue with a black vinyl top and white stripes, and said "DODGE" in big white letters on the quarters. Some tool bought it and recked it, though, so it just sits there now with a bent-in driver's quarter panel. I wish I could get that car and work a bit of magic....but definitely not like this one....

Yeah... that would work, but somehow this paint job looks good to me. The rest of the setup sounds like a winner to me, though. I plan to do that to a '75 Thunderbird eventually, but with a 429 Shotgun block or a Triton V10 instead of a Mopar Hemi.
Or... how about a Roots-supercharged Viper V10? How sick would THAT be? Of course, I'm not sure the parts exist, but oh well...

It wouldn't be sick. I think it would be cool. A bit twisted, but hardly sick.
10 cylinders and 488 cubes....oh, the possibilites. And how 'bout this? A STROKED, blown V10! Image a 10 liter V10!

I meant sick in the GOOD way. Like, "Oh my God, what kind of sick freak needs that kind of horsepower?" The answer? Me.

skid, 9.5-1 with a blower? that seems a little dangerous. cant go wrong with 8:1

Run race gas. That would make a blown 9.5:1 hum along real nice. Of course, if economy is a concern, or if it's going to be driven on anything resembling a regular basis, 8 or 8.5:1 is a better choice.

Well, yeah, if you wanted driveability, you'd want lower compression. I was thinking of something you could motor-vate to 9 second timeslips, but yeah, a driveable blown Hemi would be equally cool.
454Nova: Why wouldn't stroked and blown work?

blowers utilize boost to raise compression..... requiring lower compression in the cylinder. Stroking boosts compression by raising the compression in the cylinder by higher piston lift. they work in different ways for the same purpose, but both would be way too much pressure i think.

That makes sense, 454, but I've seen blown 383 strokers before, so they must work together somehow.

well, like i said...im no engine master. I'm sure with mild stroke and a light (if you could call it that) blower, it could be successful.

there is an equation to figure out what octane can tolerate what amount of compression, hell if I knew it, but armed with that, one could figure out what you could build running what fuel and compression, or vice versa
