Custom 1969 Dodge Charger with a NASCAR V8

Published in engineswapdepot.com

Ozan Chassis Shop built this custom Charger called “Scraptona” at their company in Shelby, Alabama for Michael Hunt and Lee Clayton from Tred Wear. The project started with a very rusty 1969 Charger body completely rebuilt by Ozan Chassis Shop with 1970 Coronet fenders, aftermarket Superbird and Daytona panels, and 2.5-inch wider fenders/quarter-panel. The car rides on a custom tube chassis with Rocket chassis control arms, Afco upgraded ball joints, three-link rear suspension with torque arm, Aldan coilovers, and Superlite forged 6R calipers on Wilwood rotors (13-inch front, 12-inch rear). The star of the show is a 358 ci Dodge R5-P7 V8 originally built by Petty Racing Enterprises in 2005. The V8 now makes 740 horsepower at 8,300 rpm with 11.5:1 compression. The engine features Comp solid-roller camshaft, Jesel roller rocker arms, ported aluminum intake, Holley XP 750 carburetor, and dry sump system. Behind the engine sits a Tilton race clutch, Tremec TK0 600 five-speed manual transmission with Tilton bellhousing, and Winters quick-change rear end with 3.55 gears.
