Hi everyone " I am new to this forum, but not new to a lot of you. I am a member of the now dieing Cuda-Challenger.com, and For e Bodies Only forums, but Dave aka Spikedog08 invited my over here. So, a little bit about me and my car for those who don't know me is in order. My name is Jeff, and I have 1973 Challenger that is being transformed into a 1970 tribute Resto-mod. This is my third Challenger, the other two being a 1972 F7 318 base car, and the other being a 1970 340 A66 package that was originally a Plum Crazy car, but painted over in its life. I bought my current car about three years ago, and have it painted, plus have the long block mostly together. The Transmission is rebuilt along with a new converter. The engine is a Magnum based 408 stroker with Trick Flow heads. The trans is a RH46 (A518)  with overdrive. Both came from a 1993 Dodge D250 pickup. My goal is to have it looking close to original, with updated parts like EFI, and 4 wheel disk brakes. The pictures start with the ones that were part of the eBay listing I bought the car from. The rest are part of the journey along the way. The Youtube link is a video of the day I brought it home from the paint shop. There is more completed since then, but I will start a thread in the members restoration section in more detail soon. One last note, I'm not a doctor, the user name comes wanting/dreaming about have an E body. So, it is Dreamer, with the e capitalized for E body. That said, people call me Doc because of it, and I'm alright with that too.

Welcome.

Looking forward to hearing about your drivetrain.
I'm considering doing something similar (408 with EFI and an A518) in my Barracuda.

Welcome from B.C. Canada. I like your powertrain conversion. Very simple, reasonably priced components and I think it will really run well.
