Building a wrecked SRT8 Challenger

Hope for the best is all we can do until we get it up on the hoist for a look and start taking it apart. We know the cradle hit the cast aluminum pan so there is a unknown there. But the underside is clean so oil didn't drain out. When we change the pan we need to pull a bearing cap or two and check for damage there. That could have been enough reason for a total. Insurance companies don't like to mess with mechanicals.
