Dodge Charger
What is good engine for my 69 dodge charger?

Does anyone know an engine that
Would be good for my 69 dodge charger. A list would be very helpful.

First off due you want to keep it stock or custom. Second do you care about gas mileage and performance or do you want a resto-rod with all new up to date systems. You can use any of the following engines for either construction. 426 Hemi, 383, 440, 318 are all good engines for what you want. Third do you want to race it? I prefer the resto-rod setup. I would use a 440 fuel injected and possibly with a turbo. This gives you good power as well as better gas mileage then came with the original engine. If cost is involved go with the 318 fuel injected and add the turbo. This can be a real screamer. The 318/340/360 engines are available just about everywhere. The 440 is harder to find and was first made as a truck engine for Dodge trucks. The 383 was the same but is harder to work on. Both give good performance. You can contact MoPar Parts and they will help you. There are after market items you can purchase that will also help performance. Have you thought about what type of transmission you wish to use? I would suggest the older 727 torque flight, it would work well with any of the engines and very strong. Also one of the newer 6 speed manual are quite good with a newer shifter kit added. If you go with the manual don't forget the pistol grip shifter. What ever you decide remember MoPar FOREVER!!!!

Chrysler Confirms All New 300 and Dodge Charger

Chrysler LLC has been battered by high fuel prices this year, seeing sales plunge by 25% compared to 2007. This drop off isn't unique to Chrysler as the entire automotive industry is suffering, but for a company who relies on the North American marketplace for about 90% of its business, the downturn has been especially difficult to swallow.

Despite the ongoing bad news, Chrysler says that they have a number of cars in the pipeline that will help the automaker update its fleet and regain its position once the economy rebounds as expected by early 2010. Leading the way is its two largest cars – the Chrysler 300 and Dodge Charger – vehicles that will play an important role in Chrysler's long term success.

Though the market for big cars is way down, Chrysler expects that it will soon recover, perhaps just in time as it rolls out the next generation of the 300 and Charger in 2010. At first glance, not a whole lot will be different about the cars as the automaker is loathe to tamper styling success. Instead, vast improvements to interior quality, improved suspension, and a more economical powertrain combination will set these cars apart.

Chrysler won't be relying on just two cars to fuel its rebound, planning as many as nine new or improved models to make their debut before the end of 2010. In addition to the Chrysler 300 and Dodge Charger, other models expected include:

A compact car built by Nissan for Chrysler. Reportedly, the Dodge Hornet concept – a Scion-like vehicle – will appear in early 2010, built by Nissan at its Mexican plant.

Electric cars – one, two, three. Recently, Chrysler showed off three pre-production electric models, two of which are based on existing platforms: the Jeep Wrangler and the Dodge Caravan. The third model – a Dodge sports car – is a collaboration with Lotus and is likely to be the first of the three to make it to production. Similar to the Tesla Roadster, the Dodge EV will have an all-electric range of 150 to 200 miles and undercut the Roadster's $98,000 price tag.

Hybrid cars – Chrysler was late to the hybrid game, having just recently launched hybrid versions of its large SUVs, the Chrysler Aspen and Dodge Durango. But, Chrysler plans to aggressively catch up and should have a hybridized version of its popular Dodge Ram pickup truck ready by 2010. Other hybrid models are being explored including for their popular minivans.

Nissan again – If you don't see a pattern yet, you soon will. Chrysler is once again tapping Nissan to build a car for it, this time a midsize model at one of Nissan's Tennessee plants. This hook up will allow Chrysler to save money on product planning while allowing Nissan to maximize plant capacity.

Beyond 2010, Chrysler's fortunes may rely on additional business partnerships, perhaps signaling that the company will become the third leg on the Renault-Nissan stool. Long term, the automaker will need to rely on outside partnerships to ensure its success, a move that can be achieved by expanding current business relationships.

Thinking about getting a Dodge Charger any advice?

I love the look of the Dodge Chargers, but I have had lots of bad experiences with BRAND NEW Dodges, I am afraid of getting something that will fall apart in a few years. Has anyone had any experience with the charger, does it have any bad qualities, and how is it on gas milage.

the charger is a pretty good car,they have experienced problems with transmissions,and other problems though,all cars have some problems,their not good on gas at all ,Chrysler has not the got the gas mileage thing figured out yet,i service a few though and most of them are doing ok,the most complaints i hear on those is the gas mileage especially with gas being the price it is now,i have had a few with electrical problems also that had to go back to the dealer,so use good judgment on this,good luck.
