Hi, just joined and introduced myself in the welcome forum. Just, literally just, bought a 1967 Dart GT Convertible. I was a mechanic in the 80s before college and have tinkered with cars since then, but no real work. I usually buy new since 1999 and have a decent grasp about how modern cars work.
Here's my plan, please let me know if this ain't going to work, I think I'll buy a cheap/auction 2015-2023 Challenger with 5.7 Hemi, complete car, and swap everything over. Keep in mind I'm a mechanical engineer and have extensive electrical engineering knowledge and have my own CNC machine shop; I've worked professionally as a metal fabricator as well. I want to bring over everything I can, tastefully, not just bolt on, but there's more on that later.
I plan on using the engine/trans, radiator, heating/A/C, infotainment, ABS, sensors, parking sensors. All that jazz. I know I'll have to modify and completely fab all this stuff in, not a problem. Just want some hard truth here if it can be done. I don't mean mentally or physically, I mean with all the electronics and controllers in that car and sensors can it be moved over? I think the only thing not coming over is Air bags, but I'm sure I can get a programmer and turn that warning light off?
