The owner purchased this 2008 Dodge Charger with a blown 2.7 L V6 with intentions of rebuilding it. However after learning how bad these engines are and really liking Chevy engines, he decided to swap to a 6.0 L LQ4 V8 and 4L80E four-speed automatic transmission. The engine is stock except for a tune and made 308 horsepower to the wheels and gets 25 mpg on the highway.

Wow that’s awesome hey is that front wheel drive or rear wheel drive
Rear wheel drive
How do I get information on swap and what all he needed? And how he kept some of the original parts like reservoir tank and dash and igntion.
I would recommend the community at LS1Tech.com. They would be a much better resource for information than I could ever attempt.
Awesome.. what intake and pan did you use??
Did he buy a kit or hand fab everything
We have not come across a kit for this combo.
What all yu need to put a5.3 in a dodge c
Did u ever get any information about that swap? I have a 06 charger and about to try to install a ls 6.0. Any info would be appreciated it? ochencho@yahoo.com
I have a question I have done a 5.3 ls swap in to a 2008 dodge charger could u tell me where I can get the peace for the rear end to use the ls drive shaft what did u use and what website and what is it called
got to cut the front off and weld a slip yolk on at the right length
How did u get the rear end done
Wow that’s bad ass hey what can I do to make my 2001 Monte Carlo rear wheel drive an about how much will it cost to convert all that
It is going to cost a lot to convert a car to RWD. There is so much modification that has to be done for a project like that. I would guess it is at least $10K in labor alone.
Damn I might as well just leave it the way it is if it cost that much an just to do a engine swap like I was going do……ima put the 5.3L in it from the 2006 Monte Carlo an I guess add a air intake in it then maybe later down the road I’ll just get me a old school Monte Carlo with rear wheel drive already
Probably a good idea. The majority RWD conversions I have seen were completed by talented builders themselves because the cost is so high.
Worst question ever

Wat kind of mounts did u use for the 06 dodge charger
I got 2008 charger want to put a 350 chevy could you send me part number for motor mount
I have a 09 Charger with a blown 2.7 myself. I am thinking about a complete drivetrain swap from my totaled supercharged 01 z06 corvette. I pretty much have the rear mounts figured out but can’t find and info on what I would need for engine mounts. Are the strut towers strong enough to weld in a set or need some extra beef? Or should I simply just plate mount from the front? I was also curious about trying to retain completely stock interior including gauge cluster. Send any info to turnkeycustoms@hotmail.com
