    Will this work?

    I would imagine that the 426 will bolt right up to the new 6 speed transmission in the 09 Challenger, but what else might need to be added or adjusted?

    I know a new CMR tune will need to be done since there won't be much of a torque Management system. lol

    What else is needed? Not needed?

    Thanks.

    Can't wait for everyone who thinks they can drive a 6 speed. This is going to be funny.

    I guarantee I can out launch and outshift most of the guys who think they can drive a 6 speed, and I'm 60.

    You will lose in a 1/4 mile to an equal automatic car.

    Spirited driving, autocross, the 6M will be a blast.

    Like I said, it will be funny.

    I may be missing something here, but the initial question was what else would be needed. A new fly wheel, possibly the crank end machined for a pilot bearing, a different bellhousing, throw out bearing, pressure plate, clutch, fork, clutch linkage (or hydraulic), different trans mount, etc, etc. If it could all be done for what it takes to put a Tremec TKO600 into an old "F" body, a little over $3K isn't too bad.
