Anyone know their chargers?

[Fraser Johnston]

I am still thinking of buying another Charger. The problem is I want a VH
but I can only seem to find later models. Does anyone know if a VH front
will bolt up to a later model body?

I'm sure they will, cause there was a VK with a VH frontend getting around
where I live. He had a 340 4bbl with a 'new process' manual g/box in it plus
a roll cage for enhanced body stiffness. Looked and went very well.

When he planted it, the whole body used to torque-twist on the suspension in
first and second.

Methinks you have the wrong car in mind...

Hey! I can post via Google again!
Fraser, if you don't get an answer here in two days, I'll ask our
performance expert here at AB Doncaster - he's a Mopar nut, but he's
away for a couple of days now.

cheers,
Steve

Sheesh,...I had a VH and a CM,..they are interchangeable (guards,bonnet
grille as one large piece).....I'd put whats left of my rep on it! :)

There were some minor improvements mechanically to the suspension,...

And a snip at $55 grand. My budget is more like $10k.

Thanks for that mate. It would be appreciated. I guess there is always the
angle grinder and mig option. ; )

Okay, apparently there's no problem doing it. Same body. In fact, he
reckons you can swap taillights & instrument clusters over, too!

Cheers and good hunting!

Thanks for that mate. I am probably going to have to heap over there to buy
one. They are pretty rare over here and people want silly money for them.

Cool! Let me know if you do: it'd be good to catch up!
